McMaster is instant fulfillment!
 
I ordered a pair of Imperial model IE-180 wire cutters late on the 12th,
and they arrived just now. Hot damn, that's just about instantaneous...
Must have shipped from Elmhurst.

Good for you!
I have to order from MSC by 10:30 am to get that service here in
western WI.

Either way, it sure beats driving 40 or 50 miles one way to get something.

I noticed my McMaster shipments to work are coming Fedex instead of UPS. Now I'm getting
most things overnight.

I get stuff from Grainger and McMaster the SAME day! Beat that! And,
Grainger will open-up for me 24/7 for $50 fee. I've had to get parts in the
middle of the night on occasion and the $50 was nowhere near the cost of the
down-time.

I always thought you were down near Grand Rapids Michigan. I'm in Michigan near Latitude

I wish that there is a way to convince them to sell to Canadians. They
stopped because "there was too much hassle with customs" Business must be
good.

Apparently, NAFTA did not do what it was supposed to do.

For me it seems that every other package to or from Canada is opened
and arrives with something missing or is completely lost.

So I no longer order anything form Canada. (or China).

I've had to let a lot of what looked like good deals go as a result.

A company like MSC is relatively close to me, so that makes things a
lot easier and cheaper. (I hope to be picking up a rotary table,
dividing plates, and tailstock in a couple days).

Oh, I think it did just fine for large corporate interests. Nafta wasn't about Joe
American or Ethan Canadian buying retail across national boundaries.

Sad thing too. Canada of all countries should be a country where we can have fair and
free trade with.

It is a small world isn't it?
McMaster, or MSC ship overnight here via Speedy.
I'm surprised and confused why you don't get as good of service there
also.
