I've been shopping component frame parts for a custom design and...
Evidently I have just stumbled across one of the best-kept secrets of the Hobby Manufacturing Industry.
Go to Amazon.com and type NEEWER into the search bar.
I've bought a LOT of their product from various dealers; I always assumed they were just a China manufacturer. Evidently they are one of the biggest generic parts wholesalers there is, and many of their products can be bought as "Fulfilled by Amazon"; that means free shipping for those of us living in the States if we bundle more than $35 worth of eligible product.
Items of interest I've found so far, all of which are available as "Fulfilled by Amazon":

I scoped out fleaBay; there is a LOT of their product there as well but prices seem to be quite a bit more inflated
and of course most vendors are selling direct from China so no free shipping from the US.
