Zoro is just Grainger rebranded. I have reason to dislike Grainger, but
if they were the only vendor on the planet who had what I needed I'd by
from them. Typically Zoro pricing is better than the list price from
MSC, but the business price is almost always cheaper at MSC.

MSC sells on ebay too, and sometimes their Ebay price is better than the
business price on their website, but I just about always get free
shipping on the website, so its cheaper on the website.

FYI: In case you didn't know Zoro is free shipping on 99% of things if
the order is over $50, so make sure Ebay isn't costing you more net.
Yeah, Grainger prices suck for us common folk...

Just ran several items comparing between Ebay and their own Zoro site.
Same prices and shipping. Seems it went up to $75 now. Which don't
surprise me. Shipping prices, times and quality are severely lacking
nowadays

Big prices can help organize workers in these more serious corporate places like they did with UPS and are trying to do with Amazon and FedEx (US).
