I've seen in a few different places hardware racks and bins where a
vendor keeps the supply stocked. My partner and I spend too much time
digging through assorted piles of crap looking for common hardware, and
it's really annoying me. The cost of the part is piddling compared to
the
cost of our time.
What are some of the folks that do this, what is it called, and can
anyone offer me some pros and cons of having this done? Are there any
folks in the Seattle area that do this (I know there is, just don't know
who) and are there any recommendations for one or the other?
Check with your nearest FASTENAL store. They may even supply the bins if
the volume is there.
There is an outfit called MIDWEST FASTENER that does all the hardware at
the
local farm
supply store. They do the stocking, maintain the inventory levels, etc.
Their stuff is not cheap,
but there is a bunch of variety.
If it's just nuts and bolts, check with the local fastener companies. Most
of them have outside
sales people on established routes.
