MSC, Grainger, and Fastenal have atrocious websites, and I truly don't understand why. and they shipped it overnight/early AM which arrived just as expected. I did get in a bind about twice when my local McM was closed and I really had to have the part the next day to keep my plant running, I called the main Chicago number and the team member there routed my order to L.A. It did occur to me that restocking could have taken place on a different shift to avoid over-traffic in the mezz levels. I feel like their "letter code" means something relative to a location, and there must be an equal and opposite amount of people restocking as pulling. I never got to see what was in the mezz levels, that would have been truly interesting. And.Big A$$ fans were used in this location. There were air-pillow machines at each checkout lane and assemblers folding-up and taping the bottom of cardboard boxes. The next person taped it, applied the ship label, and there were UPS semi trucks backed up to the warehouse, it seemed to get routed to one of about 5 trailers and then there was a person packing each trailer. All the conveyors converged to a single one and a person was a "distributor" who seemed like they were analyzing the workload of the "checkout lanes".it appeared a person checked the order, packed it in a box, added brown paper or air-pillows. It was like something out of Willy Wonka. There were 4-5 levels of mezzanine as I recall and gravity roller conveyors that came winding out of all levels with plastic totes on them. I was at the Will-Call in Atlanta a few times when I lived there.although I never got an official "tour" but that desk was just inside the warehouse on the main floor.
