Mini Nuts & Bolts
Is there a good source for all the nuts and bolts and fasteners we use in the hobby in Canada? Ordering from across the border , quality is very good, but postage is out of this world..Any suggestions for a Canadian source much appreciated. Thanks...

Re: Mini Nuts & Bolts
Have you tried MicroFasteners , Their mailing is reasonable . At least I think so. It's whatever the post office charges. Don't remember if they have a minimum order ($)though . Their packaging is 10,20,50 , or ? .....depending what it is . So if the packaging is 20 units and you want 30 then you have to buy two packages, total 40 .
They take your order and add the actual dollar mailing at the end and readjust the total when ready to mail . They don't do a flat rate dollar amount and make money on it. Don't find many like that anymore. https://www.microfasteners.com/inter...g-charges.html Website is very easy to order from ; that’s half of it . They have both metric and standard in steel and stainless plus the widest selection/ choices . One stop shopping . Last edited by stegl; 12-03-2021 at 10:32 AM. |

Re: Mini Nuts & Bolts
Second vote for Fastenal. you can get 100 4-40x5/8" for about $5. I have one around the corner from me. Although since covid no more walkins you have to order then go p/u and they may only do companies now.

Re: Mini Nuts & Bolts
Tried getting stuff from them. They only deal with companies. I deal with a place on NEBO road in STONEY CREEK . They are pretty goodBolt and nut supply.

Re: Mini Nuts & Bolts
Micro Fasteners does not have a minimum order. Only charge actual postage and fill your order quickly.. I have been dealing with them for a long time.
