My experience around their shipping was the opposite— surprise outrageous fee to get fedex to deliver a few feet of PVC. This was back before they showed you shipping prices up front.

Yeah their checkout experience used to be horrible. Shipping costs were never displayed until the order shipped and it was often 10x the item price.
As soon as I saw the title of this post, I thought "best e-commerce site? they don't even show you the shipping price until the item has been sent, and the shipping prices are insane!"
I wrote them off long ago due to that - guess it's time to give them another try. Thanks for the heads up!
Yeah, the floor on shipping seems to be about $10 (CA to WA) but at least you find out the rate in advance now. Often worth it even for inexpensive items if it saves you an hour going to the store and searching and maybe not finding it.
yea... this is the one fault of McMaster. I'm within normal 1 day shipping of one of their major distribution centers and its still pricey. Doesn't stop me from using them when I really need something.
