Sorry to hear that. It’s definitely a tragic story. I ordered some things from McMaster Carr just the other day and it arrived within a few days. I get frustrated sometimes when the parts I need have to ship from China and take a month. But they are cheap and they’ll arrive eventually.
It’s definitely sad to see genius wasted because the tools just sometimes aren’t available in places like India.
Thanks for this information, it’s easy living in the US to forget just how easy our lives are in so many different ways.

This remind me of the time when some local makers were ordering parts from aliexpress it was talking on average 30-40 days to arrive at their door and they were only ordering the parts that could not be substituted easily. Then one day government of India decided to ban aliexpress.
- e3bc54b2 5y agoI was not aware Aliexpress got banned. What is the next best alternative?
- wolfretcrap 5y agoBanggood ships to India, they don't have everything that aliexpress has but I've been able to source stuff not available locally.
- sudosysgen 5y agoPerhaps Taobao?
- benhurmarcel 5y agoEven in Europe we don’t have an equivalent to McMaster Carr. We can certainly procure the materials we need, but as far as I know there’s nothing quite practical like that US shop.
- supermatt 5y agoCan you recommend a few places? I really struggle getting specific parts in LT.
