[OT] McMaster-Carr: incredible service!

[vze22jzr@verizon.net (Marc Getty)]

Scott,

It is not uncommon to get <5 hour turn around time from McMaster-Carr if
UPS is delivering the item to a non-residential address. I've ordered
things in Philly at 9 AM and received them the same afternoon, direct
from their New Brunswick warehouse! All of my nuts & bolts parts for my
scirocco are bought from them...
