I’m tired of hearing the message, “due to unusually high call volumes your hold time may be longer than normal.” I get this message all the time. Is it just me? Do companies understand that if it happens all the time it's not “unusual”? If these companies were telling the truth, the message would probably say, “due to an unreasonably high requirement to deliver a profit, we’ve extended your hold time.” Maybe I’m just cranky, but last weekend I called to activate a credit card and they hung up on me three times before finally completing the activation 20 minutes later! Jameco has been taking phone calls for 35 years. We have no “push 1” or “push 2” instructions. Just real people on the other end of the phone. In truth we have been having unusually high call volumes lately, but we’re also in the process of hiring more people so we hope you won’t notice. But, what makes Jameco different is that if we frustrate you for some reason, there is always a member of the management team around to speak to―just ask for us. Alternatively, feel free to drop me a note at the e-mail address below. I always like compliments, but frankly they are not nearly as important as when a customer gives me an opportunity for us to improve. Regards,

We had a great idea. A high power LED went off above our heads and we decided to send Jameco Product Manager Shalin Shah to the Strategies in Light trade show last month and he shares his professional and personal highlights from the show. Strategies in light is the longest-running and the largest high-brightness LED show. |
Our friends at Make Magazine put together a fun how-to video which teaches you how to etch your own circuit board. While this may sound like a big leap for some, Make’s Collin Cunningham makes it easy. View Jameco's video daily double here.
What better way to test the new batteries than to use the new Parallax Stringray Robot which conveniently runs on six AA batteries. The Stingray is a great way for any robotic minded person to build their own. Check out our review of low cost batteries and the Stingray Robot.
