Pricing

Prices in this catalog are effective upon receipt of this catalog and are subject to change without notice. All prices are quoted in US dollars. We reserve the right to impose purchase restrictions or limits at any time. Prices and availability may vary at branch locations.

Minimum Order

Our minimum order is $25. You will be charged the minimum $25 on any order with a lesser value, plus any applicable freight and taxes.

Terms/Billing Options

Net 30 days on approved open accounts from date of invoice. In addition to open accounts, we also accept cash, C.O.D. and most major credit cards. In addition to personal and corporate credit cards, MSC is also proud to offer a choice of 4 additional payment/billing options. These include:

•	Standard Invoicing - An individual invoice for each packing slip.

•	Consolidated Invoicing -  Reduced paperwork with one invoice per order, even if your order is shipped from more than one location.

•	Periodic Invoicing - Receive your billing statements monthly, weekly, bi-weekly, or daily. You can even tell us what day you want your billing cycle to start on.

•	EDI Invoicing - If you are part of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system, we can now handle all of your ordering and invoicing via EDI.

Delivery

MSC guarantees same day shipping if your order is called in before your area's appropriate cut off time. Deliveries are made Monday through Friday, daytime hours only. Most orders are shipped UPS. MSC also uses RPS and various trucking companies for different regions. Items that are drop shipped directly from manufacturers may take longer, so items ordered together may not always arrive in the same box or on the same day. Orders placed Fridays (after your local cut off time) and weekends or holidays, will be shipped on the next regular business day. Please check with your MSC sales representative for more information at order time.

General Merchandise Warranty: Except as in Machinery Warranties (at left bottom), the only warranties applying to materials sold are those, if any, specifically provided by the manufacturer. As sellers, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, of performance, merchantability, workmanship, quality, durability or suitability, including those instances where changes, alterations or modifications are made in materials at the request or instruction of the purchaser. Our obligation is limited to the repair or replacement of defective parts or, at our sole option, to refund the purchase price.

Catalog Errors: Although all information in this catalog has been carefully checked for accuracy, errors & omissions occasionally occur and therefore are subject to correction. We regret any inconvenience.
