In case anyone is thinking of going to HGR on a Saturday, they've changed to one Saturday a month (the second Saturday), and they are now open until 2 on those days.
Just a heads-up.

Liz and I went to HGR Friday. WOW!!! Unfortunately, we brought the car not the truck.
I was going to buy a hydraulic lift table for $400, but the shipping was $515 to NH. No Thanks.

Re: HGR industrial surplus. Euclid Ohio
I recently tried to buy from HGR after oggling for a few weeks... but I had to cancel the order. They wanted $250 to ship a 100lb chuck across the country. Is this normal? I get a standard crap UPS shipping rates and it only cost about $150 to ship 140lbs in the other direction. You just have to be in the area or are they trying markup thru shipping?

Re: HGR industrial surplus. Euclid Ohio
HGR is making extra money by shipping their machinery. I think that is how they help make up for the low prices some things sell for. Expect to pay at least double what it really should be. I bought a hydraulic pump unit from them a while back , shipping cost was extremely excessive.
Only way I will buy from them again is if i can pick it up myself, or arrange my own shipping .

I think the extra that they charge is to pay for their shipping dept. I have bought a plasma cutter from them and the actual UPS charge was $38 but they charged me $150 for shipping.
