Hi, Butch. Other than the differences in the product line, how is McMaster-Carr better? I've had good experiences with MSC, but never used McMaster-Carr. What am I missing?

Thanks
 
I USE THREE OR FOUR PLACES......and graingers locally.
its about quality price and avaiability.........

sometimes quality aint there.....

McMaster Carr has the easiest website to find parts, bills me after shipping, good quality parts, no question return policy, great prices, and shipping in just 2-3 days.
 
What I like about McMaster Carr, is they will ship in a manner that fits the product. Something small they will put it in a padded envelope and mail it. MSC has a minimum in a box even if it was one screw, like 10 bucks worth or something. But, where I live, I can order something from MSC and have it the next day! So it all depends......
 
Thanks, Butch, guys. If I recall correctly, using McMaster Carr's website was the reason I went with MSC direct. I just charge my order to my NRA Visa and have it the next day if I order before 10PM. I like the way MSC identifies Made in USA parts, also. I'll take another look at McMaster Carr to see how they've updated.
