Another possible source is AmazonSupply.com. They're now directly competing with McMaster-Carr on industrial supplies, and they seem to have good prices and better inventory than McMaster-Carr on fasteners, having bought out Small Parts Inc.

I generally prefer ordering over the internet.
Apparently, I didn't build that!
