World class company I’m giving them five stars despite their bizarre website tactic of blocking people searching for parts. They have an incredible catalog and more importantly, they’re shipping is world class. My orders typically arrive in just 1 to 2 business days which is greatly appreciated.

Completely ridiculous shipping rules Completely ridiculous shipping rules. I placed an order online to be shipped to my customer location (that I have shipped to previously). Received a confirmation email and then was subsequently contacted by a rep stating they intercepted my order so UPS could return it as they could not ship to a third party. If I'm paying by credit card, why do they care who I'm shipping my items to?? It mentions nothing about this "rule" on their website.

incorrect orders every time. All orders have have been either incorrect quantity or incorrect sizes. Even after reviewing orders many times prior to ordering. Terrible communication skills. Great shipping, things arrived very quickly. If they had been correct even once would be 5 stars.

Tall tree standing in a briar patch. I have been in business about 27 years now. I am in the process of closing my place due to health reasons. I have bought from McMaster the whole time. Not once have they given me reason to complain. Their telephone staff is run by fine Southern (polite) people, which are still there despite having a well-working website. Yes, their prices may be a bit higher because you are getting industrial-quality goods and not the junk you find at your local big box. Finally, go to your local favorite and ask for a 3/16" transfer punch. See if they even know what it is. Then see if they will sell it to you individually for a couple of bucks. McMaster will.

My experience with McMaster-Carr has been OUTSTANDING My experience with McMaster-Carr has been outstanding. They're customer service team is always approachable and amazing. They respond to you real quick and they deliver the product to you before the promised date even, I really hope my hospital works with them and gives them more business in the future. At a time of need such as the COVID crisis: They have been responsible and amazing!
