They should take it as a cue to start differentiating themselves as the experts Amazon aren't. Amazon jumping in could be a rising tide, rather than a destructive force, if McMaster Carr plays their cards right.
- weaksauce 14y agoThey already have everything at fairly reasonable prices with overnight shipping(sometimes I get it the same day in the afternoon.) For me the reason I buy from mcmaster is that I need an esoteric part quickly for a project with special requirements. Mass manufacturing from them would not be wise as the prices are going to be higher than buying in bulk from a proper bulk supplier. The website has a lot of relevant data that you need to make informed buying decisions. sometimes they even have cad file downloads with tolerances listed depending on the part.
