Any good online stores for small orders of hardware?

I'm trying to find somewhere to order 2 12mmx1.75pitch socket cap bolts.

My rear stand is just ever so slightly too tight to fit my xb swingarm, but I ground down the bolt heads slightly on 1 side and it fits fine. I want to replace the normal hex cap bolts with some socket cap bolts because the head will be skinnier and I won't have to mess with the wrench trying to grab in.

Unfortunately I live in the US and finding 2 12mm socket cap bolts is a joke. I'm trying to find some online but everywhere I look will sell me $1.50 worth of bolts, but they want $10 to ship them. Is there anywhere online with reasonable shipping for that kind of stuff? I even checked mcmaster carr because I need to order the pieces to make my exhaust silencers anyway, but they only sell them in boxes of 10.

How hard would it be for home depot to stock a few extra sizes of bolts?? It's not like they go bad if they sit on the shelf too long...

if you live near a store they dont charge shipping i think.

edit: im trying to say if you go in the store and order them they wont charge shipping for a special item.

Good thinking, I think there is a fastenal about 20 blocks from me. I never think to try stores like that because I assume you're supposed to actually have a business and buy in bulk to shop somewhere like that.

bolt depot wanted $9.90 for shipping on $1.50 worth of bolts, and mcmastercarr was the one that would only sell my a box of bolts for $10. I'll probably try to check out fastenal sometime this week.

I've had luck with small hometown hardware stores. There's one in Zelienope that I go to for random hardware like that. I'll likely be putting in an order at McMaster soon if you wanna jump in on that?

I might. Even if I get some bolts by then, I still needs to get some bigger rubber coated p-clamps that fit the fork tubes so I can make some headlight brackets.
