[SEL] Buying from McMaster Carr in Oz

[Judge Tommy Turner]

True Tony.  In many cases you're paying for items being in stock and 
immediate delivery.  If someone is just ordering 1/4 20 screws or 3/8 by 
inch bolts, you're much better off getting them from a local hardware. 
However, there are a lot of items McMaster carries that aren't carried at 
the locals.  As long as I place an order by 3:00 pm one day, I can have the 
items delivered to my home by noon the next day.  I could drive to a 
specialty hardware company in Louisville (50 miles) and could find the 
items, but by the time I drive an hour each way and burn 6 gallons of gas 
I'm better off ordering from McMaster.  They're a good resource, not cheap, 
but often cheaper than when all considerations are given.
