ironraven Cranky Geek Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/08/05 Posts: 4642 Loc: Vermont	Monday night, about 9.30 at night, I put an order in with Batter Junction. Yesterday morning, before sunrise, they had it to UPS. This morning, it was at my side. New light, some tac-ties to test, and a toner cartridge. shrugs Some neat stuff, something I just needed. They made me smile on a bad day.

JohnE Addict Registered: 06/10/08 Posts: 601 Loc: Southern Cal	Another company that gives great mail order service is McMaster-Carr industrial supplies. They use different warehouses to ship from depending on your location and deliver extremely quickly. Prices can be good to bad depending on the item but if you really need something, they're hard to beat. Plus they've got one of the best online catalogues I've ever used. Their printed catalogues are actually collected and resold on ebay by the really fervent fans and I suppose some machine shop types looking for a few extra bucks.

7point82 Addict Registered: 11/24/05 Posts: 478 Loc: Orange Beach, AL	B and H Photo is another "toy" store with super fast shipping. I've only bought a few things from them but they are always out the door asap. _________________________ "There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother." -Theodore Roosevelt

KG2V Veteran Registered: 08/19/03 Posts: 1371 Loc: Queens, New York City	I'll put in the following: MSC/J&L - Machine tool supply houses (merged). Slightly different stock than McMaster - less MRO, but a lot more cutting tools/machine tools. Next day service in most of the country New Graham - another good knife place Believe it or not Amazon Prime - if you are going to do regular business with them, join prime. Free 2 day shipping, and typically $3.99 next day _________________________ 73 de KG2V You are what you do when it counts - The Masso Homepage: http://www.thegallos.com Blog: http://kg2v.blogspot.com

Andy Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/07 Posts: 378 Loc: SE PA	For me it's KnifeCenter.com. In stock orders are generally at my door in less than 24 hours. Nice folks. _________________________ In a crisis one does not rise to one's level of expectations but rather falls to one's level of training.
