I am in the process of building Dave Ek's DSC interface, having the PCB I placed
an order with Jameco for populating the
board. I placed the order just before midnight on 1/10 and received it on 1/13.
Given the timing of my order near midnight 1/10, I would say delievery was 2 days!
The package arrived in a huge heavy cardboard box with alot of crushed up paper
product. Componets were wrapped as expected from electronic supliers with
sensitive components shipped in ESC bags. All the components were sealed in an
outer bag, with each component/s sealed in a smaller bag identifying them.
Many of the components have minimum orders for instance the resistors are sold
in bags of 100, fortunately all 13 of them used in the project are the same value.
Outer Bag - all the individual components are sealed in a large outer bag
Flipside - showing the components, all packaged in individual bags
DSC Components - I ordered some extra stuff that I needed for other projects,
otherwise it was the minimum order.
