Thread: A little road trip to gather more poor financial decisions

On the Fastenal idea, Uncle Bob is likely on target. I broke the "Never ASSUME" rule and figured that by now their No Walk In/Will Call Only policy had been lifted by now, but it may not be the case. I checked my local store's on-line site and it clearly says in red font, "This location is a Fulfillment Center with limited will-call hours and not open for walk-in business." I'd say that the Fastenal option is dead, a victim of Covid19 and our continuing Supply Side problems.

Sedalia is a two hour drive from here, and me picking it up would be moving it two hours farther away from you which makes no sense. Hopefully he will hang on to it for you, and not "forget" and sell it to someone else that comes looking for one.... You're gonna have to weigh the cost of round trip fuel against UPS or FedEx. Wait!! You work for FedEx! Can't you arrange a local pickup and multiple hand-offs truck to truck to get it to your shop??
