Oh no...I guess the rumours were true after all. I just got this in my e-mail:
"Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, due to the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. Export regulations, McMaster-Carr can no longer accept orders for private individuals outside of the United Statesl. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you. Please be assured that your credit card has not been charged. Molly McGrath"
Nice that they have so much business they can afford to refuse business from the entire planet outside the USA. Did they never hear of expansion and Globalisation????
We'll see whose laughing when we're all ordering from China instead and they have to shut up shop!!! ARGGGGG!!!!!
Sorry....had to vent.
These are the joys of building cnc systems in Europe.
Guess I gotta check with the other crowd after all....oh well....only delays me by a few days.
PS: No problem Hyrum. I hope the offer still stands for anyone else viewing this thread who might want to take you up on it?
