Recently I dropped in to a fasteners place, on my way home from the northern suburbs, to get 4 M12 bolts, only to be told at the sales counter that they have a minimum charge of $20. I thanked the two men on the other side of the counter for explaining and then I let them resume their casual chatting.

There's a place in Wetherill park in Sydney called WDC. They do all sort of fasteners and also stainless steel. Over the years I bought small bits and pieces from them. Always so helpful. They sell by bulk. Read 100s. When I come for 10 or 5 and go to pay they say don't worry about it. I always leave some cash for maccas for them.
