They ain't that expensive, even at retail. You would lose money with the
shipping costs for 2-3 boxes. If you can't stomach the Borg, check local
industrial park for a supply house....

Or Fastenal...

THAT's the name I was trying to remember! They have one of those here.
Only been in a couple times, since they basically are open the same
hours I work, and don't really want to sell in less than box lots, which
I seldom need. Their prices for vanilla stuff other than fasteners (ie,
drill bits and stuff) are sometimes higher than the Borg, but to their
main customer base (the factories in the industrial park) getting the
stuff in a hurry and getting back, is more important than a few bucks.
Like most supply houses, designed for people that walk in with a
detailed list or a sample, not for people that just walk in with a
puzzled look on their face and needing an explanation.
