I'm looking for some help getting 5 small tool blanks from MSCDirect (MSC Industrial) in the United States. Their website (https://www.mscdirect.com/corporate/locations) claims they have over 85 locations in the U.S.
They ship to Canada but only use one method and it will cost me more in shipping then the tool blanks are worth.

These tool blanks are used to make gravers for watchmakers lathes. You can see what I'm up to here....

I'm hoping someone can pick these up and throw them in the USPS mail to me. The largest is 4" X 3/16". A bubble padded envelope is probably the easiest. They won't break so nothing special required.

[mention]Tanukjaju[/mention] I would appreciate that. :)

Yes, I will cover all the costs.

You don't realize how good you guys have it in the U.S. Some of the things you have access to are not so easily obtained for us up in the Great White North. :lol:
