I doubt McMaster Carr will be of any help. You have
to have an account
with them AND a tax number before they'll sell to you. And that's even if
you walk into one of their locations. I doubt they'd even talk to you if
they knew that you're in Europe.
Grainger is like that too, never could figure out what their
problem is.
MSC Direct doesn't have that problem. I buy for work and
personally. I do simple $30 orders, online, delivered
to home. YOu can call and talk to (somtimes) knowledgable
people. Overall prices are OK, not great; but when you need
only one item or a small quantity (I just bought a bunch of
odd plastics from them) it doesn't matter.
Ask for a free catalog; is 4" thick, thousands of pages, hard
cover! Free!
