well at work we have lawson brand assortments of nuts and bolts as well as all sorts of other things, fittings,wire ties,connectors all sortsa things. they are great, a guy comes around once a month and refill the bins automaticly. very convenient, but a bit pricey altho all good quality stuff. for home i have bins purchased at sears and buy my bolts by the pound at tractor supply company. works out good for me, when i see im gettin low on a size i pick up a few pounds more the next time i go to tsc. for more specialized fasteners or larger sizes than tsc carries i usualy order from mcmaster carr, they have a website and ship fast, like order before about 4pm and you will have it the next day when the ups man comes, hard to believe but they almost always come thru, very rare they dont, and they dont charge a fourtune for shipping either. there prices are great, i needed a 2 1/4 inch fine thread nut one time, local fastener place wanted 19 dollars, plus 8 bucks shipping and would have it in about 4 days they said. mcmasterr carr cost was just under 5 bucks for the nut and 4 bucks for shipping, and it was at my doorstep by the time i got home from work the next day. cant beat that

Try McMaster-Carr. They sell just about everything and in quantity too. They are a great source for bulk hardware of all types and grades. I have bought plenty from them over the years and have never been disappointed.

If you have a Tractor Supply nearby, they sell their bolts/hardware by the pound at a reasonable price.

I have had good luck with www.boltdepot.com who is an advertiser on this site.

By far, hands down Tractor Supply is the best and least expensive place that I have ever purchased bolts from. I can get a bag of bolts at TSC for the same price as I can get one or two bolts from my local hardware store. The local hardware charged me $4.50 each for two 1" x 6" bolts. At TSC I could get about 6-7 bolts of the same size for the same dollars. I like the way you can get them by the pound instead of per piece also.
