They ask for your credit card number before they (presumably) tell you
the shipping costs. Also, they have one employee and a D- rating from
the BBB.

They don't tell you the shipping charges until after your order ships,
but the charges are always reasonable. A small package from the NJ
warehouse to ME is around $6. For stuff like your channel that ships
in a long tube the charge is typically higher, presumably to cover the
cost of the packaging. If you call the order in they may be able to
estimate shipping. I'm as cheap as the next guy, but have never had a
complaint with ship charges.

Take the BBB rating with a grain of salt. Nobody does what McMaster
does better, and they must have thousands of employees.

I spent almost $7000 with McMaster last year.
