And to the upper 10 (i.e. Canada), they charge that *on top of* shipping. It's insane! I've bought from them and Summit many times in the past, but now I just go to my local parts store and I usually get a better deal.

There's also a Cascade store up here--they have *all* the metric fasteners I've ever needed, complete with reputable manufacturer markings. Plus boxes of green nitrile rubber gloves at a good price (way thicker than blue).

For metal, Metal Supermarkets is great, because they sell by the inch and not by the foot. Good when the stuff you're buying is worth more than your left nut. ;-)

I agree with what robz71lm7 said about the search on McMaster.com. They spent some time on their search to allow you to drill down to the thing you want, e.g. small springs, heatshielding, or any number of other things I can't get locally. They ship fast, too!

The only problem is the amount of money you can spend on fasteners and other odds and ends...
