This is very interesting!!  I have just the opposite opinion of Jameco.
I have ordered $2000 + of parts from them over the past 4 years, and
have had only 2 (minor) screwups.  First, they sent me a 4.91 MHz. xtal
in place of a 4.19 MHz xtal (that was almost asking for trouble!!), and
once they sent me a disk drive enclosure by mistake.  They replaced the
xtal very quickly by UPS and refunded $$ for the drive case and shipping.

Not to be funny, but do you speak clearly when you order the stuff??
