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.
Ridiculously fast? It loads for each category 2 seconds.
The longest load for a page you haven’t encountered before is under a second, because it’s loading thousands of items. The longest paint is 176ms. It was averaging like 17ms. It’s incredibly fast.
McMaster-Carr ftw. If there’s something you need, they most likely carry it and will get it to you next-day.
At 200% mark up but it will be there the next day.
200% markup doesn’t matter when you’re billing it straight to the client anyway 🍻
If it’s too high someone else can out bid you. If we can get it locally we do cause some of the items will take the quote price to space.
Let’s say I’m willing to trade faster delivery for lower cost - is there another site with similar selection that you would recommend?
I ordered some common 1/4-20 bolts from McMaster recently because buying them from the local big-box is an even worse deal, but I did feel like I could get a better price somewhere else.In north jersey McMaster buys out all the hardware from smaller stores so they can mark them up. Its never an easy find an alternative.
No doubt. They’re definitely not the cheapest, but if you need something in a hurry they’re excellent.
90s UIs are fast. No fluff, mostly text.
He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik
