I suppose being in an industrial area I am spoiled.  We have six industrial 
supply houses in the area, the owner of one lives two doors down from me! 
We are also 60 miles from McMaster Carr. I've placed online orders at 9 pm 
from MMC and had the package at my door by 10 am the next morning.  I've 
always found that shipping is quite inexpensive but maybe thats because I'm 
in the same shipping zone.
