After going through the rather large catalogue and selecting some odd bits and pieces I find difficult to get in Australia, I placed my order and recieve the following email some hours later.
I am more than a bit peeved as I spent a bunch of time on their site and they happily accepted my order online. They are also the first US vendor to refuse to ship to Australia in 4 years of aircraft building!
Perhaps by sharing this I will save some other International customers the trouble. For the locals, is there another US company that I could purchase odd bits of hardware from?
Thanks
Richard

Richard,
Due to the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. Export regulations, McMaster-Carr has decided to only accept orders from a few, long-established customers of ours overseas. We cannot accept your order, and regret any inconvenience this causes you.
Regards,
Lynda
