My office is in the Chicago area, near O'Hare airport. Heavy industrial area which explains a lot... =)

I think they also have a big Chicago warehouse. We get the same thing living in Atlanta, and it blew away a bunch of clients that were down here working on a project that we could just drive to McMaster and get something within an hour at will-call.

I like Amazon alright, but I love McMaster. Hope they can keep it going.

McMaster's HQ is in Chicago area, Elmhurst IL - they also have a major warehouse in Atlanta (and NJ, LA, Cleveland I think, maybe others)
