I am sad to say that our experience has been that McMaster-Carr has changed for
the worse in the last few weeks. And I don't see any reason to think that it
will return to the friendly, efficiently-run company that it has been for the
prior 10+ years that we have been buying from them.

Hmmm, we've had the opposite experience. Friendly, knowledgeable and we get
same-day delivery if we order by noon. We do about $1k/mo.

Never had a single problem with them. Always get what I ordered, next

I've generally had good luck with tehm both at work and at home.
However, they aren't perfect. The latest screwup was that they left a
drill bit out of an order. We complained, and they shipped _5_
replacements (I think it was item 5 on the invoice).

They once billed me for a few bucks more than the invoice, and they
straightened that out quickly as well. I've also been less than happy
with the way they've packed some things.

All in all, I will keep doing business with them, but cautiously. They
have good stock, a lot of slightly oddball stuff, and they are frequently
willing to sell in smaller quantities than other places.

If somebody comes up with a name & an emial address to, I'd be perfectly
happy to add my concerns to their in box. The latest screw ups
with the drill bits cost them some money. If they keep that up, they
won't be in business forever.

Ditto here, I only buy elsewhere on the very rare occasion that they don't
have it. its easier than going to the hardware store.

But, I've learned in my business that you can't make everybody happy. Guess
the same is true of McMaster

1. As you probably already know, McMaster-Carr has purged many of its
customers' accounts in good standing, and is now requiring long-term
customers to purchase by credit card only. This is true whether ordering
online or by phone.

**************************************************************************************

Not true in my case. I've been buying on open acdount for 20 years.
Placed orderws this week, no problem. Delivery is always next day.


Sorry, but I won't be joining your boycott. They are a reliable and valued
supplier.

 

[Leon]

I'd say you are barking up the wrong tree.
I am not sure who you are and probably would give them the benefit of the
doubt over you coming here and bad mouthing them.
I would advise you to focus you complaint towards them as that will do more
good than complaining here.

I'll join some others in saying that I've never had a problem with them.
We've been buying from them for at least 20 years. They've never screwed
up an order, or an invoice. They aren't the cheapest guys around, but
for volume we go elsewhere. Need a screw? A piece of aluminum? Anything
under the sun? They've got it. In stock. It's a rare day when UPS
doesn't bring another "present" for someone, and it's a very small
company.

Fast, convenient, no minimum order. And, they have *the best* website,
period. Effortless to use, no eye candy, just pure simple brilliant
construction. I tell my other suppliers: You want to improve your
website, model it after McMaster's.

Oh yeah, 2% 10 discount always available, and zero hassle returns. I
sure hope Bob's experience is the exception, and not becoming the rule,
because I'd hate to lose these guys.

If I get this right, you had problem(s), and now think that no one should

Your cowardly, anonymous posting of potentially libelous statements is what

somebody. Otherwise your remarks deserve contempt, nothing you say can be
taken seriously. One must question whether any intelligent person would
put effort into your type of post.

Consider an NMOS transistor which is turned off when there's 0 V on
the gate, and turned on when there's 5 V on the gate.

I've been told that a tiny bit of current flows into the gate of a
MOSFET transistor... well where does this current go? Does it come out
the drain, or the source, or does it split between the two?

The gate has a significant capacitance, any current that flows is either
charging or discharging that capacitance.

Bullshit. That may be the policy at the local branch. I recently
walked into the local graingers and ordered an obscure projector bulb.
I got it three days late, and I don't even have a business. I paid the
sales tax, along with the price of the bulb, and was told to come back
any time I need something. The clerk spent a half hour locating a
branch with the part in stock and arranging the delivery, for a < $20
sale.

agree with Michael - I ordered some items over the internet, when I picked
it up they asked me if I would like an account, they made the arrangements,
and I now have an account number - no hassle

I hope that anyone else who has found this to be the case in your
dealings, will contact McMaster-Carr via their website:
http://www.mcmaster.com/ > Contact. Be sure to ask that your comments be
forwarded to someone in upper management and to a VP of Sales. Be sure
to express your thoughts in a polite, business-like manner.

This is a sad comment that am making -- their company has been a pleasure
to buy from for the past 10+ years. But now their operation seems to
have been turned over to the IT dept and/or bean counters. The sales
desk/phone people are as helpful and efficient as always, but
unfortunately, their "customer service" philosophy is limited to taking
orders. Evidently they have no influence on how the rest of the company
is run.

1. As you probably already know, McMaster-Carr has purged many of its
customers' accounts in good standing, and is now requiring long-term
customers to purchase by credit card only. This is true whether ordering
online or by phone.

2. This is fine for small dollar or infrequent orders, but not
acceptable for routine purchases. 3. Our experience is that cards are
kept with a fairly low limit ($1-$5) because that it takes only one
well-meaning but out-of-control employee to sink a project by excessive
use of his card.

4. However, if your employees have a reasonable limit ($2-$10K), then
the company must now monitor the balance weekly and make mid-month
payments just to keep the balance under the card limit and keep on good
standing with the card issuer.

5. When you are in a major project, you have to spend to much time
keeping track of your credit card balance when you should be spending
time on keeping the project under control.

6. I have talked to various McM-Carr people and have gotten nowhere.
Our account is over 10 years old and, like all our supplier accounts, is
always current.

7. On a different issue.... we have places 4 orders in the past 2
weeks -- all by credit card (as required). Two of these orders were
shipped to addresses in other states that we never heard of.

I hope that they will get enough feedback from their customers to pull
the plug on the impersonal bean-counter attitudes and return some
reasonable customer-oriented management to the company.

Thank you for reading.

Boycott McMaster-Carr










Hmm...that sucks,I just ordered from them for the first time this week.
Paid by CC,so far everything seems dandy..As long as my package arrives in
one piece,I'll be happy.

I'm sorry, but it will be impossible for you to be happy according to Guv
Bob. And even if you think you're happy, and have your goods, and have them
at a good price, you must commiserate with Gov Bob for his experience. Or
be neurotic in case MMC ever has a problem with your order.

Or, at least, that's what Gov Bob sez.

McMaster says they charge the same price for everyone. Grainger will cut me
a 10% discount if I call our assigned salesperson.

90073 is a CAGE code for CMC, probably a mfr or dist. I don't recognize it
anyhow. They don't usually
use MFR in front of a CAGE (formerly FSCM) so the MFR may not mean
manufacturer.

The numbers look private.

I would guess, given the date that PS might be Plessey, if it is an IC. It
sort of looks like a resistor array because of the white dot. Mark
