McMaster is the best bet for most stuff. Prices are good, although some places are cheaper on certain things. However, McMaster is the best for one stop shopping and fast shipping. I usually get my stuff next day from Atlanta to Houston coming via Fedex ground.

No kidding on the high prices. I needed some 2.5mm nuts and bolts for some OEM rims, 30 of the bolts would have been $122 . No thank you I will figure something else out. I have to say the girl behind the desk said she was new so maybe it was a mistake.

X2 for fastenal, Stopped by the local fastenal to pick up some allen cap screws for my servo horn, the guy told me they only come in packs off 100....To be honest I thought it was going to be like 30 bucks, walked up to the register thinking I was going to have to go somewhere else until he told me the bag of 100 was only 4 bucks Now I have lots of extras

The customer service was great, they were quick & had lots in stock.

Default Mcmaster has my Vote

McMaster is great for screws and other hardware. I just bout 800 fasteners (off all types of Socket Head Cap screws). With a plastic case to put them all in it was Under $40. A set for my Tracer from RCScrewz would have been $35, and I would not have nearly as many leftovers.

Order was received the next day, NJ to Massachusetts.

I sell stainless hardware on the side. I have this on hand, but if you need something I don't show, and aren't in a rush, I can get alot more. Offering better pricing on bulk purchases...
