Does anyone know of a good website for ordering chemistry supplies?
Things like beakers, tubes, burners, etc., including various chemicals.

I'd like to set up a small "home lab" to aid my self-study but I have no idea where to go for these supplies.

Thanks!

ebay.com
you can find just about anything you would want there, and a lot of the time, it is cheaper than the chemical supply companies.

but if you insist on an actual business to supply you needs, then,

Sigma provides a lot of chemicals, but that's geared toward professional labs. You should be able to find what you need at Fisher's education site:

Keep in mind, it gets expensive quickly. mrjeffy's suggestion of trying ebay, at least for the glassware, is a good one. I'd be more hesitant to buy chemicals through ebay though.
