Yep, Grainger is a good one. They are one of a couple of industrial supply companies that sell all sorts of stuff. The other two that come to mind include McMaster Carr and http://www1.mscdirect.com/eCommerce/NavigationServlet?cm_mmc=Didit-_-SEM-_-ItmDtl-_-PypClk&002=2167139&004=2162606344&005=11350792&006=10791330784&007=Search. There are others that are more specific to a certain industry such as power transmission, hydraulics, electronic controls, etc...

1. What kind of mechanical parts are you looking for?

There are a wide variety of mechanical parts, including bolts, screws, gears, bearings, and many more. It's important to specify what specific parts you need in order to find the right supplier.

2. How much do the parts cost?

The cost of mechanical parts can vary greatly depending on the type, size, and material. It's best to compare prices from different suppliers to find the most competitive option.

3. Can you recommend a supplier that offers good quality parts?

While I cannot make specific recommendations, it's always a good idea to do some research on potential suppliers. Look for reviews and ratings from previous customers to get an idea of the quality of their products.

4. Do they offer bulk discounts?

Many suppliers offer discounts for bulk orders, so it's worth inquiring about this option. However, keep in mind that sometimes the quality of the parts may be compromised for the sake of a lower price.

5. How long does shipping take?

This can vary depending on the supplier's location and shipping methods. It's always a good idea to ask about estimated shipping times before placing an order to ensure that the parts will arrive when you need them.
