Best online stores & services

[jamesxi]

So far this is the only website I've come across that has online ordering, clearly listed prices, and a broad selection:

https://sdp-si.com/eStore/

This site may also be really useful for basic custom machining:

http://www.emachineshop.com/

For the project I'm working on I will have maybe 35 parts, and about 25 of them I plan to buy from the first link(SDP/SI.com). So, if you know of a good online store with a good selection of stock parts, please post it here!

McMaster-Carr has a huge number of items in stock, quick delivery, & their catalog is on-line and searchable.
It's also a useful reference for specifying parts & to get an upper limit on prices for dealing with local suppliers.
