The website and all the part details are amazing. I've made many purchases from McMaster for personal / hobby use so I'm surprised to hear about difficulties purchasing from them.
- SpikedCola 4y agoWe are in Ontario, Canada, if it matters. I know Quinn from blondiehacks orders from them without difficulty, so I’m not sure what it is about us that they don’t like. They tend to be very curt/nearing unfriendly in their responses.
- bombcar 4y agoThere may be difficulties shipping cross-border (customs is hell) - so maybe you "need" to find an address just over the border in the US to ship to instead?
- SpikedCola 4y agoI do have a US PO Box, so I will try this next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
- bombcar 4y agoThose also don't usually allow "package" delivery (think UPS) but maybe something can be worked out. Some small post offices will accept a UPS delivery to "unit PO BOX number" but I don't think they're supposed to.
- PebblesRox 4y agoSome USPS locations do offer a Street Addressing option that allows for receiving parcels to a PO Box: https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/competitivepoboxes https://postalpro.usps.com/mailing/competitivepoboxes
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoQuinn is in LA. They just don't like bothering with international shipping.
- SpikedCola 4y agoAh, my mistake, thanks for letting me know.
