Look up Grainger and Fastenal -- they have branches all over the U.S.
I've actually negotiated volume pricing with the manager at Ace Hardware, and it's better than McMaster.
Also, McMaster accidentally (?) left some packaging from their suppliers in one order, and the pricing is excellent. They have lots of hardware, but not screws for some odd reason ...

Hey all,
What distributors do you use to find a wide hardware selection (stuff
like pretty small (#2-#4) thread-forming screws) with good pricing in
the ~5k quantity range? I use McMaster quite a bit, but it seems like
there's gotta be a better way than buying 4000 #2x1/2" screws in 50
packs for 14 cents a piece, yet my usual places don't seem to be
working out very well in this quantity and size range. Will McMaster
work on price at all in this quantity?
Thanks,
-Nick.
