I wish we had something like McMaster Carr in the UK. I don't even care if it's fast! You guys had better appreciate how good you've got it.
RS, not the same breath but the pricing is usually good.
There's also CPC/Farnell but none of those are in the same league as McMaster Carr. Much smaller ranges, worse prices, worse websites, missing CAD models, etc.
Another option is Misumi but they have even worse prices and don't even sell to individuals.
I'd recommend going to McMaster Carr just to see what we are missing out on.
I like Farnell (Newark in the US), but their prices are no better and than McMaster and their website can be horrid.
