I was searching for a hardware store item that's been out of stock locally for over a month and started looking for it online. No luck in any of my usual places. Continuing to search I tripped across zoro.com and they had the item in stock, price matched what I would pay locally with free shipping with $50 and they take paypal.

I am cautious ordering from a new place so I researched their ownership and learned they are a subsidiary of Grainger so that's a plus. Placed an order monday, it shipped the next day from Texas and it's scheduled to arrive FedEx Ground by the end of the week.

I thought I'd share in case others haven't heard of them.

Disclosure: I have no affiliation with zoro or Grainger, though in the past Grainger has been my go-to place for hard to find tools, parts etc.

@Chris Allingham I hope it's OK to post this, if not feel free to delete it with extreme prejudice.


CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoro.com, an eCommerce business that sells millions of supplies, equipment and tools to small businesses, today announced it has reached $1 billion in annual sales through its U.S. website for the first time in a calendar year.

We believe there is nothing but opportunity for Zoro to continue to grow as we strive to have every product for every customer."

Now, with more than 600 team members, Zoro.com continues to expand and rapidly grow by offering 11 million unique products, with a goal to make it easy for every customer to get exactly what they need by shipping millions of products as fast and efficiently as possible.


 
I've never heard of it either, which I think is odd since it seems like I'm always looking for some obscure thing or another. Obviously, I have heard of Grainger so I would probably do the same as you and trust the site.
