[TheForge] A Source for Rivets

[Bruce Freeman]

I thought others might like to know of a  good source for rivets I just
found:  

JAY CEE SALES AND RIVET, INC., 
www.rivetsinstock.com, 
phone:  800-521-6777 
FAX:  248-478-6416

>From them I got two sizes of rivets which I thought would be easy to
find, but weren't.  Their prices:
1/4 x 1-1/2 round-head steel are $7.10 per 100 pcs 
5/16 x 1-1/2 round-head steel rivets are $9.35 per 100 pcs.

Of these, MSC had neither size, and McMaster Carr had only the 1/4"
size - for triple the price!

The one catch was minimum total order of $25.  Because of that, I
ordered an additional size to make up the balance of the $25 (and then
some).

Also, he could not quote shipping costs.  But he did provide me the
item weights, so I was able to get freight charges within a few pennies
of correct from the UPS website with no trouble.

The order arrived in about 3-4 days, and the billing invoice arrived
about the same time by US Mail.  I paid by credit card.

Although I contacted them originally by email, I found it easier to
deal with them by phone.  I spoke to Bryan Clinton.
