Spend how much to get sent a McMaster catalog?
How much does one need to spend to get a McMaster catalog sent to
them? Would $1000 in a year do it? Color me curious. Jay |

Not sure about the amount, but I usually get one by walking to the store and
asking. You might just call them and ask to be added to their mailing list. -- My experience and opinion, FWIW Steve |

Probably got 4 over the last 7 years. I suspect they print as many as they can afford and send them out starting with their biggest customers and working their way down. |

I suspect, you already know, they have an Online Catalog.

Bob I had trouble getting my first one. After requesting a catalog about 3 times, and still not getting one, I told them I'd have to make do with a Grainger catalog. I got 2 of McMaster's shortly after that, and they send 2 new ones periodically now. |

$40-$50 on ebay? Dang. We've been throwing them away at work when we
get our new one. Mike |

If you work for a big name company and give their real business address and
business phone number, I bet they'll send you one regardless of how much you spend. "jj" wrote in message ... How much does one need to spend to get a McMaster catalog sent to them? Would $1000 in a year do it? Color me curious. Jay |

While McMaster's Website is the best in biz, bar none, it does pay to
have a printed version. Bathroom is an ideal place for it :) - so you have good use for those otherwise dull minutes . Learn a lot by simply flipping through pages. Got mine @ work. MSCDirect's catalog is much easier to get and I think it is much larger, just an FYI. Price-wise they are about the same, have a number of warehouses - I get my stuff from both McM and MSC next day with UPS ground. MSC's website is much worse compared to McM's - search and presentation of search results is nearly not as good. I also have Grainger store within 2miles from my home but they don't sell to GP. Plenty dumb, IMO - MSC and McM don't have that problem. |

Plenty dumb, IMO - If the company you work for has an account with them, then you can shop there. I just give them the company's name and tell them I'm paying cash. Same here. In fact..I did just that today. I purchased a Square D pressure switch for an air compressor that the guy thats fixing my truck had that was moy flakey. Working off part of my bill..next week..I fix the Coffing overhead crane..brake is shot Gunner The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong. In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years .. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
