So how do their "UP TO" deals work. I'd love to get the
http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/84238799?rItem=84238799
for $4,500 but when I log in and try to apply the code it only goes down from $7,500 to $6,000.

Just tried the promo code on two separate items - not valid. I think the key is "up to".

Same here. Promo items wouldn't discount any further than price listed on site. Non sale items I tried discounted 10-20%.
Yup there's a lot "fine print" with that coupon. The 40% off is off the current catalogue price not the sale price listed on the website.
You are supposed to get the lower of the 40% off cat price or the sale price. So NOT 40% off the price displayed.

It's right out of the MSC playbook, the "up to" always follows their discounts.

Sure and I understand that it should be off the current catalog price...but when I added the mill to my cart it only took off 20% and not 40%. I didn't see any limitations on machinery.
Here's the fine print: I bolded the part that they are probably catching you on. Or call or chat and see what they say.
Enter code ENCO40 in the promotional code box in the Shopping Cart when ordering online. Promotional price will be reflected at Checkout.

That's what I like about Zoro...if you get a 25% discount code you can use it on anything.
LG63 it's for use at www.mscdirect.com

Prices on Kant Twist clamps are better at ENCO with No coupon than they are at MSC with special enco pricing & coupon...
Thanks! No savings over the current MSC flyer prices but I'll take the free shipping.
I saw this the other day on some other items. So the promise by MSC that we will get the same Enco pricing built into our accounts at MSC is total ********. Complete garbage by MSC.
I was looking this kit http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/36409803. This morning the price was $283. A few hours after the coupon email, it was raised to $356. That's blatant.

Enco was good when they had a sale, MSC is never good even with a sale.
I'm logged into my MSC account that was created as a result of the Enco shut down. It shows the price as $284.85. That's 20% off list price. If I add the "enco40" code, the price does not change.
MSC might as well just advertise "SAVE UP TO 99%" if everything seems to be subject to exclusions as it appears right now.
Enco was nice while it lasted.

I liked the comment "Save Up to 99%"
True that saving some is better than saving none but I'd prefer they not tempt me with 40% off and I not be able to actually find anything I don't really need but would buy if I could get it at 40% off their regular pricing.

Ah, the good 'ol days of Enco...
We never appreciate what we have until it is gone...

Items that I bought from enco on sale, do show come up on msc at the price I last bought them for through enco. And I did add a few things to my cart through MSC today, and the pricing is cheaper then it was last week.
I ordered 4 leveling feet from msc last week for 10.60 a piece, which was better then Mcmaster. And on par with the questionable leveling feet I found on ebay. With the 40%, they are now showing up at 10.25 each. Not a huge break vs the base discount applied coming from a Enco customer, but its something.
On the plus side, those leveling feet showed up to my house the very next day. With Enco, it would take them a good 2-3 days just to ship my order out the door.
So you can still find some good prices, but you do need to shop around and compare a bit more. Overall I am not as upset over the merger now that I have checked prices on a few items, and even placed a order. I will probably place another order with them this week with the current 40% off promotion.

ENCO40 is not working for me when adding a torque wrench to the cart
Did you go thru the registration process of converting your Enco account over to MSC? I think you have to do this to get the 40% off coupon to work.
I was looking at buy a cleveland drill bit set. The msc price was 139 when I applied my 40% code the price started at full list 230 something and then with the discount went to 137.00. Was a big savings of 2 bucks. I got the same set from enco last year for 99 bucks. I am going to miss Enco.
Did not work & I have already transferred/continued my account from Enco, and I was signed in.
Just to find an item that the minus 40% to work was impossible (for my time available), I randomly clicked on any item and added it to my cart (over and over...). Nothing accepted or utilized the -40%, it may or may not be a bait & switch situation but it definitely does not feel 100% above board.

Just ordered some 72" shafting and it didn't apply at all for either the discount or free shipping. I'm a regular MSC user though and this is normal tactics for them. I'll keep using them but it's difficult to work really good deals through them. Still a fantastic alternative to McMaster for me though and the Next Day Air Saver is a life saver for my business.

I just sent an email also. I've never bought from MSC, and probably won't anytime soon.
I've bought stuff from MSC (with their coupons) and ENCO over the past few years. Most (and probably all) of the MSC coupons had this 'up to' criteria. I also had one case with MSC where everything showed the sale prices even the shopping cart and e-mail they sent me, but then they billed me the full price. I caught it and with a few calls fixed it but something you should check. Once I got on the ENCO mailing list I never used MSC as the prices even if you waited for their best deals always seemed to be much lower at ENCO.

I've been totally slammed with work so I haven't had any time to deal with this but I bet if you call ENCO they will make it right with the promo code for what you have in your basket as long as it meets the small print.

I will have to say as much as I would like to order huge amounts of stuff from ENCO one last time but I think I'm just over it.
It was good while it lasted but I guess MSC is doing it's job weeding out customers like us and I'm totally ok with that. MSC is operating it's business the way it wants to and I will always continue to make purchases where I see fit.
MSC will have to do much better in convincing me to do business with them. With the service, quality and prices that they offer; MSC Direct is not a winner nor the only place in town. There are many other fine establishments that offer the same or better prices for the same goods.
I'm finding the MSC Direct sale promo's are just spam, nothing of substance or worth clicking on.

It's a shame, as we all Know, ENCO was great, esp, the 20-25 off, free shipping, NO MINIMUM $$ order.
Cause, like if you saw something later, you could order again, without worrying about meeting a minium

MSC is dead to me. I've unsubscribed from all their emails.
Over the past few months I've chased the coupons they've sent me and they've never saved me much, if anything, on the products I needed.
I've had better luck with ENCO % off & free shipping coupons for items that never go on sale like punches and dies. But like with Zoro you always have to cross check against other stores to see where you really aren't saving even with all the incentives.

This is the email response I received from MSC. I've spent about $6k over the last 4 years with Enco,......interesting she can't find my account. I am registered at both places with identical login information.

Very well put, mirrors my thoughts as well. MSC has the right to run their business as they see fit, and if having Enco bleed off sales isn't working for them, or maybe it's unprofitable, or maybe it's not worth going after the little guys like us, who knows, then that's how it is.
I'll miss Enco too, and MSC's current '40% off' shenanigans don't endear me to them, but they're a big player and have a good reputation as a solid supplier. I'm openminded and ready to be convinced if they want to try again in the future.
