[alfa] RE: Bolt Source & shipping parts

["RC Hiatt" <richard.hiatt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I might suggest that anyone using McMaster Carr in any real quantity, a
business, might want to pay their own inbound freight charges, collect,
direct to carriers like UPS (with your UPS account number). If you have been
paying prepaid and add to your invoice, you may want to compare the rates
with those online. This doesn't apply to all shippers, but some are known to
add quite a bit to the shipping bills added to invoices. Larger LTL carriers
do rebate as much as 60% back to large shippers, despite legislation to
discourage it. If you paid the shelf rates on your invoice from those
shippers, make sure they pass on the kick backs too. Caveat Emptor.

Digestians..

Been looking around for replacement bolts..  finding that 10mm x 1.0mm
pitch stuff is apparently kinda rare.
A generous Digestian may supply me with the rare double ended bolt.

McMasterCarr dosen't have it in 1.0mm pitch! (surprised)  Found a local
industrial hardware store that does,
but they are "phasing out" their 8.8 grade stock for 10.9.  I seem to
remember some aversion to the higher
strength stuff,  due to it being more brittle?

I love & use
McMaster, but King sells in "each" rather than box quantities for the little
stuff I never need 100 of
