Does anyone have good/bad experience ordering from Zoro, which
is
apparently connected to Grainger?

I've been buying things from Zoro through eBay for a little over a
year now. One problem, but only a small thing. Some pipe hangers
were pulled from the wrong box. Zoro said "Keep those, we'll pick
and
ship the correct ones today. Someone at the warehouse had put just
4
of the wrong items in the bin, so the problem has been corrected
here
now." The replacements came in a week.

In any case, I like Zoro. Check for the item on eBay first. Prices
are even better than in their catalog. Free shipping on orders of
$50
or more.

They asked for a company name. Do they really care if you are a
hobbyist?

Grainger has given me trouble about that in the past if I wasn't
wearing an ID badge.

2 decades ago, I had to print up a fake business card to get access to
purchases at Grainger. Zoro just sells to anyone, I believe.

Did you check your luck on eBay yet?
