My friend who has been a dedicated Jameco purchaser for quite some time turned me on to them as a good company. This past time my order had items substituted (that looked like the right item) ... (ie. a 24-pin machined IC socket instead of a 20-pin one) ... My friend, Gil Kloepfer, Jr. (gil@limbic) ordered also a couple of weeks ago, and his order (which was FAXed in) was clearly marked 2nd day UPS, but they shipped it Ground UPS (he was charged appropriately, but he wanted the order quickly, and it took >7 days to arrive via ground). He also had items like a 40-pin DIL connector where it should have been a 34-pin one.
