I buy all of that sort of stuff at McMaster-Carr. Always have it next

I second that. The shipping [even for a big bag of bolts] is usually
less than what I would have spent on impulse crap at the borg. Even
if I had some self-control, I can be doing something other than being
frustrated by out-of-stock, misplaced, poor quality, or
not-quite-right goods. [and most of the above applies to way too many
of the clerks these days]

I'm in upstate NY and I have gotten next-day deliveries from McMaster,
but it is usually 2 days. Well worth the wait.

[Their site lists a brick&mortar in LA so west coast deliveries are
probably as fast.]
