Sounds like extraordinarily bad project management to me.
Surely you don't order each part individually, do you?


I used to do side jobs in construction.
The plumber that worked with us ALWAYS had to make several
trips to Home Depot for more fittings, and other things.

Finally, Jack, our foreman, asked him, "Are you going out
of business? How come you don't have any inventory on your
truck?"

Because of our relative locations, I can order something
from Mouser, select the cheapest UPS ground shipping and
get it in 1 or 2 days.


McMaster Carr is almost over night. If I order before 9AM.
Same with Mouser.

With a shipping charge of $8 for USPS, I ALWAYS order enough
bits and pieces and extras quantities so I don't have to
immediately re-order the same things.
