Re: Frustrated by McMaster-Carr
I have also placed three recent McMaster-Carr orders (via their website), each of which has been delivered the next day. I am usually careful to avoid ordering things unless the site reports that they can ship that day from my local warehouse. Because of this I have come to think of McMaster as my materials storeroom -- just click what I want and it's on my desk tomorrow.
Of course, McMaster does not carry everything and some of their stuff can be had cheaper from other sources. But I haven't found a better source for getting stuff quick.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
