Either counter staff or by email with quotes, always got what I needed and was able to ask about different things if I wasn't informed ahead of time. Very easy to work with and no nonsense at the counter when I visited. Pricing wise, they can work around different needs, and I'm not particular about brands but I would expect they could order something if needed. Have definitely turned up for immediate needs and they always had a solution. Would easily recommend them for machine tool needs!

I have been a customer since the early 2000s and can say that no distributor compares. If you need…read moreit, they have it; In the rare event they don't (which has been very uncommon in my experience), they can get it quickly. All the products are of the highest quality: no tool on the wall or fastener on the shelf is anything short of top notch and they have been my exclusive fastener provider for over 20 years. No matter the demand, they meet and exceed quality control standards across the board: a true testament, especially in the semiconductor field. The staff is very knowledgeable and actively works to find the most effective solutions to whatever hardware challenges you present. Karl, Barbara, Dat, and Paul have all been extremely helpful and personable over the years and make every visit a treat. With Olander, you get the mom and pop shop treatment and attention while maintaining the big store selection; That is hard to come by these days. Aside from great staff and quality products, pricing is always competitive (especially compared to those McDonald's guys...sheesh...). On more than one occasion, upon explaining my project demands, they have offered a more cost effective alternative that not only facilitated fabrication, but brought the bottom line down. They very well could have kept spitting out the invoices for things I didn't really need, but they took the time and effort to ensure that what I was getting was what I ACTUALLY needed. That commitment to a customer's success is just one more thing that makes Olander one of the premier distributors in the Bay Area, and I look forward to many more years of working with these fine folks.

I'm a foreman for a Bay Area electrical contractor and I have found that the guys that work at the counter, really understand electrical needs and which materials will work best. I can't remember ever having an issue with materials not being ordered correctly. I think it also helps that they have positive attitudes. I think personality goes a long way when you work in construction. Also, they open at 6:30am not 7. I wish it was 6am but it's still better than 7

When I need parts that I can't get at Home Depot, this is the place that has them. My only complaint is that they are not a nursery school that can hold my hand and tutor me and answer all of my stupid questions. Nor are they able to provide on-demand support and pricing information for me when I am bidding jobs. However! When it comes to being a first rate wholesaler and supplier, they can't be beat!

So, I'm doing a LS conversion on my Gen 1 Camaro, I ran into a huge problem, in order to run my…read morepulley system with this LS I needed a type 2 power steering pump "am I being to technical?" The factory PS pump that came with my car no longer fits so I had to use a late model pump, which means none of my hoses fit and they don't exist. Here's where Royal Brass comes in. After surfing the ol inter web and finding absolutely nothing, a friend of mine told me about Royal Brass and how they made a PS hose for him. Long story short I gave Royal Brass all the dimensions and told them which fittings I needed for all three hoses, one of them needed to sustain 1500 psi without bursting "Royal Brass's reply was no problem our horses can al withstand up to 5000 psi!! "Saaaweet " After a 15 minute conversation the employee behind the counter disappeared into the back room, about 20 min later out he came with my made to order professionally crimped power steering hoses!!! $173 for all 3 "trust me that's a deal considering they don't exist on this planet" I'm so happy to have a Business such as this near by. Customer service 5 stars, service 5 stars and price also 5 stars.

This is the best restaurant supply store in the bay area for home cooks for both selection and…read moreprice. 1) the home style cuisinart food processors have small motors. They aren't designed for making baby food, almond butter from almonds or grinding frozen meat into paste for making cha lua or hotdogs. Can smell the burning electric motor smell from home appliances. This smell is toxic and emits cancer causing chemicals. The commercial appliances here don't have that problem. Costs more but you have equipment which fits the task. 2) The home pizza ovens which are popular require peels to get the pizze in and out of the 800 degree oven. They sell both metal and wood versions. The pizza stones for home ovens are much cheaper here than Amazon because it costs more to ship heavy items and AMZN adjusts the price to reflect that even though shipping is "free". Prices better than online and you can see the quality of the product. They have both 16 and 12 inch sizes for peels, etc.. The newer lower cost electric/gas home pizza ovens are 12. They have bread baking pans and detroit pizza pans in stock! No need to go online to get them. The long handles for pizza peels make them unattractive for shipping. If they are shipped then price is 2x of what you see here. 3) Cutting boards, they have the fancy John Boos wood cutting board considered by many to be the best made to cheaper and lighter bamboo boards and poly ones. All come in larger sizes. Not the smaller sizes sold in costco. Much better variety here. Same comment as above for pizza stones. Cheaper than online because heavy items are expensive to ship. Will never get a sub $50 price for a large cutting board online but you can here. 4) Kitchen utensils, heat proof spatulas, long handled stainless steel soup spoons, slotted spoons; stainless steel serving tongs, thermometers, everthing 1/3 - 1/4 the cost of williams sonoma with more useful design like longer handles for deep stock pots. WS doesn't sell long handled spoons. spatulas, because most home cooks have cheaper small pots and skillets. 5) steamers, they have larger sized bamboo and stainless steel steamers for making dimsum. The Asian markets have a limited selection of steamers and WS or costco will never sell steamers. Designed for Asian cuisine. Steaming much healthier then other forms of cooking. 6) Glassware, they have the larger Picardie, 16oz+ in stock! They don't break. Most RS stores only sell cheaper imitations but they are the same price and the Picardie glasses here and lousy quality. 7) Plastic serverware; they sell larger dimension plastic serving platters; good for parties or home use. The larger ones made of porcelain are too heavy and difficult to store. They only go up to a certain size because of cost. Recently most serverware is more than 100-300 each because of inflation. They see reduced sales because of the increased prices and most places are transitioning to not carrying these higher cost items.

And no, their prices are not lower than Amazon... I could have gotten the similar item from Amazon for cheaper as I just now checked Amazon to my chagrin, but not same hour of course. On the plus side they do have some good tools, a bunch of Starret tools and Mitutoyo gauges... so they do have some quality for real tools there. Just know what you want since they are loathe to fill in your gaps of knowledge.
