Fastenal shipping & handling costs

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

Rusty, my take on this is Fastenal is trying to be just like Grainger, ...in that they both want to focus on servicing Commercial/Industrial accounts only. I have an account with Fastenal where we purchase items that does not make sense to mail-order, but in the case of many items, it can be purchased cheaper directly from the mfg. or a larger distribution center and then mailed.
