• Who Buys from Reid Supply

    From Bob La Londe@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 22 17:50:01 2021
    I haven't check on them in a while, but I still get periodic SPAM from
    their master overlord company. I never bought much from them. Back when
    I did this strictly as a hobby pennies counted, and just about
    everything from them was a little more expensive. I did once buy some
    carbide ball end mills from them that they had a good price for on
    Amazon, but I can't think of one other thing I ever bought from them.

    There were a few things I was looking at seeing if they would quantity
    discount (I buy handles several hundred at a time) and then Essentra
    bought them or somebody else did and called it Essentra. The Reid name
    seemed to go away for a while and I never found anything I really wanted
    from Essentra that I wasn't already getting from other vendors. Now
    sometime back they brought back the Reid Supply name, but its still
    Essentra.

    ... and its not like they are easy to shop with. I just visited their
    website to find if I do not agree to accept ALL COOKIES they won't let
    me use their website. That's a little suspect right there. Most
    websites I can turn off tracking and third party cookies only allowing
    site essential cookies.
