mcmaster won't invoice individuals, which is the default payment method on their cart screen. If you click on the "payment method" text, which is not a different color to indicate hypertext, you can choose debit card as a payment method. I'm an individual and I buy from the all the time. What I like about mcmaster, if you order the quality of stainless steel above the cheapest, they are from a country that doesn't elicit so many news stories about how they mistreat their citizens & neighbors. Also the order usually ships all from the same warehouse, which saves $5-10 freight charge. They won't ship USPS, which would save on tiny orders. Only UPS.
Other sources are grainger and mscdirect, both of which frequently ship 3 items from 3 warehouses at enormous cost. mscdirect has some US made stock.
