McMaster-Carr
#1

Disclaimer - I have no financial interst in this company.

I just want to take a moment to say how much I have enjoyed the online shopping experience at McMaster-Carrr. Of all the sites I have frequented, and that's a lot, these guys really do it right.

For me shopping should be quick, easy, and get my stuff in a hurry so I can do other things. I do not like roaming around a store trying to find something or just window shopping. I want in and out.

The McMaster site makes it soooooo easy. Just type in more or less what you are looking for and then click on the proper name from the dropdown. You then get images and the ability to filter so you see just the type of item you are looking for.
I have used their email to ask a detailed question and the response was within a half hour and then basically instant after that. I am presently about 180 miles from Atlanta and my ground shipping arrives the next day even when I place the order after dinner. I have not had a shipping charge over ten bucks and a couple packages weighed about 10 pounds. Your location may not work nearly as well, but looking at the lake and clicking in my order beats spedning gas money and going to town.

Russ,

I've had the same great service from McMaster. I ordered parts 2 weeks ago in the morning, expecting delivery the next day since I'm about 50 miles NW of Atlanta. To my surprise, 3:30 in the afternoon the same day as I ordered, a courier shows up with my parts! I called and thanked them for the great service and they explained if they have someone delivering parts within the region, they will try to deliver by courier.

I also have used McMaster for many years. Yes they are perhaps the easiest to purchase things from and their site is great for searching. You should see their book about 2 inches thick. Only businesses can get a book but if you know someone in manufacturing you could get one of their older copies.

i have heard nothing but good about mcmaster carr. i have to say i have not used them but i do use Grainger a ton. they will often deliver the next day as well for me. there is a number of local stores for them but it is easier to order and have it show up as i get free shipping from them.
