It's not a computer glitch. Mc Master sells primarily to industry where time is money, so they try to get you the parts as fast as possible. They are completely upfront about this; if you look at the items in your cart, it says when each item will ship, shipping method and from which warehouse. If you see items coming from more than one warehouse or shipping method, expect more than one shipping charge. If this doesn't work for you, call customer service and the'll ship all items when in stock at the closest warehouse, However, heavy items shipped by fright truck will always incur extra charges.
I wish all places were this upfront.
I recently ordered some electronic components through Amazon with Prime free shipping.
I'd ordered on a Thursday so I didn't expect it to arrive until the following week.
Most of the stuff I ordered had arrived by Monday except for a couple things.
When they hadn't arrived by Tuesday, I went and checked the shipping email notice.
Turns out these last 2 items were on there way on a slow boat from China with this expected delivery date: Arriving Mar 30 - Apr 14
The "Item has Shipped" email was received on March 16.
Had I known this up front, I would have found somewhere else to order from.
