Carrier pigeons carrying 10lbs of sprockets to a team? I'd like to see that...

A five-ounce bird can not carry a ten-pound sprocket!

What you may want to do in this case is call McMaster directly ((562) 463-4277) and try to get it sorted out that way. Talking to a Live Human Being is awful underrated these days.

Re: GM Shipping?

We did call them, and they said that they only deal with longterm customers (which explains 1114's case seeing as they order a lot from them) but otherwise they do not ship to Canada. Karthik, can we put an order through you guys and pick it up?


Thanks,

Vova

I created a new account on Monday to put the latest order through, so I doubt it's a case of us being a longtime customer. This sounds reall bizarre.

Send me an email, and we'll be glad to help you out. (kkanagas at gmail dot com)

Not african, but it can if it's european...

ahem. McMaster not shipping to Canada just does not sound right, it's literally unbelieveable.

On the other hand, all of what McMaster sells is available elsewhere, if you look diligently enough. Sometimes right in your own town.

Re: GM Shipping?

We have ordered a lot from them this year, at least 4 different packages in the last week. Using express shipping every time it gets here within a day or so, we have had no problems. If you would like I could get you in touch with our mentor who handles all our ordering. But I don't think we are doing anything special... It seems to just work for us, no ordering problems this season.
