It’s not easy to find concrete examples of shipping costs for McMaster-Carr online, and they don’t tell you what an order is going to cost to ship until after it’s already shipped — and that can be a little scary especially if you’re ordering odd sized parts, even if they only charge their shipping cost. So here’s a real example of shipping costs for a small order with some long parts to NC, USA. The order was placed online and shipped the same day from their Atlanta, GA, USA location. It was ordered on December 29, and received in North Carolina on January 3.
For a reprap build, I ordered these items, which include three 3-foot steel rods, 200 nuts, 292 washers, and 200 machine screws. Shipping was only $6.52 for everything. That’s not bad at all…
