Default McMaster-Carr Reply

After reading the post by Steve L. I wrote McMaster asking why they
wouldn't sell to individuals overseas. This is what I received from them:


McMaster-Carr only accepts overseas orders from a few long-established
customers. We do not sell to private individuals outside of the United
States.

They don't seem to want to explain their position, just "That's the way it
is, live with it". I guess they have plenty of customers here so they
don't have to worry about it.

perhaps you have never seen the problems that come with a violation of ITAR
regulations, intentional or otherwise - not to mention all the other
export/import regulations - this is not a "support the troops" issue, this
is a "your government at work" issue - cut McMaster some slack
