McMaster

nauqneyugn · 08-21-2002, 08:16 PM

Just a quick question to those of you that have purchased stuff from McMaster. I was wondering how much your shipping was because I just want to buy ten (or one pack which costs $4.25) of poly barbs and didn't want to get ripped by the shipping. Danger Den sells the same barbs for $1 each and will charge me $8 shipping

McMaster does not make profit on shipping. They basically charge what it costs them, maybe a couple cents more for the packaging. I ordered some small screws from them a week ago, I think th e shipping was $1.65.

Bottom line is their shipping is as cheap as it gets.

Strangely, I've never looked very closely at my Mcmaster invoices, so I don't really know how much they charge for shipping.

I invest in them a good bit of trust when I pick that "Best shipping method for your location," and they've done a undeniably satisfactory job of getting my stuff to me.

Ditto that. If you boxed it yourself and dragged it to the local UPS office, that's what it'll cost.
