I have ordered only a few thousand dollars worth of stuff from them, I am a regular user of their website, & purchase stuff a couple dozen time a year. I tried from the "Technology Teacher" position.
Good luck.

This seems to be true. I wonder if they'll let anyone know when they print them every year so we'll know the exact time to ask for them before they're all gone. They need to know that FIRST teams come first, not businesses.
I went to thier website and couldn't find a way to recieve a catalog. At MSC's you can request one and also a CD which I have. The CD I find handy. I loaded it onto my laptop that I carry around. The laptop's easier to carry the the MSC catalog.
I mostly deal with MSC and in fact I placed an order with them yesterday, personal not business related. They have never given me any problems especially being an individual not a corporation.
Grainger doesn't like to deal with individuals, instead they prefer businesses. You can get around this by either ordering through a company or like what I have done, order through thier website and use a credit card. Going the website/credit card route they've never asked for a tax ID # or purchase order.
There's also a Grainger local to me (25 minutes) in Southington. I've gone in there but without being a business they won't deal with me. This is one place I found where cash doesn't talk.
I went back home and was able to order through thier website. Gotcha Grainger!
Just let the adults, mentors, ect. on your team know you're looking for one. Someone somewhere is bound to be cleaning out old catalogs this time of year and might be able to get one before it gets tossed. Then once you get one hang onto it like gold and never let it out of your sight.
