McMaster Carr -- Positive Reports

[ricco1949]

Wow....I ordered some barrel laps for honing dies on Monday AM, shipped Monday PM and they were at my door Tuesday PM.

UPS...Illinois to MN....
Can't recall ever getting next day regular delivery anywhere else.

I have been getting next day delivery from McMaster Carr here in north east Wisconsin for 37 years. Several times I actually had same day delivery if I ordered before 9 am!

I once got 24 hour delivery to Virginia on a 20 foot Ladder Safety Cage.

I just wish everybody was like them. Great web site, nearly everyrhing in stock, and fast shipping.

McMaster Carr is a great compony to work with all around. I once was pricing things out late at night and accidently made an order. I found out by receiving a confirmation email and I emailed them right away thinking I'll deal with it in the morning. Someone emailed me right away and canceled everything except one item was already processed so she sent return label and told me to just send it back when it arrives.

The best thing about McMaster is if they don’t have on their website you can ask for it and they can get it. I’ve used them for years before I retired from maintenance, they are the best.

They have been around a long time. I used have their yellow book on my desk before we had the internet.

I can get deliveries from those guys faster than I can get a darn check from across town. I had a need for a certain epoxy they carry. Got a young lady on the phone that sounded like a chemist talking me through the order. Blew my doors off.
Those guy's are great. Beats dealing w Grainger any day

UPS delivered an order from them to who knows where. They send me a refund for UPS's error. Wonderful company. They have everything!

Usually, if I can get an order placed by 3:00 in the afternoon, I will receive it before lunch the next day. That has saved me a number of times. Another great thing is they have solid models of almost everything, that you can just download into your design. Huge time saver.

If you need a part there are not many companies that do it better than McMaster. Even if parts come different warehouses like my order today, they still hit at the same time. That requires coordination on their part.

I think I like McMaster better than Cabela's before Bass Pro bought em. It's my #1 stop for things at work and home...next day shipping, print/CAD models of just about everything.

Grainger can be fast also with a Red account or whatever they call it, but their website and product "descriptions" pale in comparison to McMaster.

Great service! I placed an order with them some time back and they shipped it out before calling me and asking for a new cc number, as the one on file had expired.

Same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. I recieved my order before it was even pad for. Great company!

MSC is basically the same for shipping. It is kind of magical.

They have been around a long time. I used have their yellow book on my desk before we had the internet.

I always referred to it as the Bible. Seems like every six months or maybe year I’d have a new one on my desk.

 

[cmysix]

they and Grainger are open 24/7/365 and they NEVER stop shipping or receiving, ups, fedex and others are in there every hour, in Ca at two different Companys I worked for the Managers would open the local store at night or weekends if we called.

 

[butchlambert]

Yes Sir! They have been my go place for 35 yrs. Best shipping and customer service around.

Have used them for several "related" items , and I can't add anything that hasn't already been said . A Five Star business .

And expensive!
Although really it's border fees that kill it for me.
