McMaster-Carr Review

[HRBS]

Their NJ location is 30 mins from me.
I am always amazed that I can place the order online, jump in my truck and pick it up 30 mins later at the "will call" pick-up.
Thats:
processed, pulled, packaged, logged in and paid for in 30 mins !
Dominos cant even cook a pizza and deliver it that fast !

That would be seriously dangerous....

I agree, they always the things I need in stock. I think I receive my stuff from either the Atlanta or Chicago facility. I don't have the turnaround that you guys have due to logistics but I get an emailed invoice the day of delivery, before it is delivered and that is very helpful for scheduling on my end.

These guys don't play. I remember ordering right before 5pm and getting my stuff next morning. Nothing but praise

I have an idea!!!!!! This may be a new thread, but I'd love to see some of the more "off the wall" things that you've found on McMaster and used on your projects.

I'm always finding something cool in their catalog that I think I may be able to use......

Just a thought.

Way back when, I built a sealed intake setup on my 69 w/cowl ind. hood, using a "bulb seal" rubber strip from McMaster-Carr.

the rest was a $7 aluminum cake pan (any restaurant supply store), and an offset "HEI clearance" air cleaner base (any swap meet).

Worked awesome!

I used McMaster all the time. I don't think there is a fastener they don't stock, no matter what size.

I like that most of what they stock is U.S. made, or at least good quality. Though not always cheap. But the service is worth it for me.

Not to mention returns are super easy.

That company is awesome. I love their user friendly website and their ability to always fill orders. I get parts from their southern California warehouse and if I order before 12pm I can have it delivered to my door same day. What an amazing company, Mcmaster-Carr you rock!

I used to use them all the time (along with MSC) when I would order supplies for an old machine shop. Now I still use them for my personal use.

I just recently ordered some vinyl edge trim with the metal core, to give the outer edge of my aluminum splitter a more finished look along with a little protection
