Ive ordered from them for my senior project like 5 years ago.
They were fast on shipping, never had an issue.
I have also used Online Metals.

Just small stuff, like cold rolled steel rod, AL sheets, stuff to fabricate little projects with. Best I can get at local hardware stores is the angle stock and 1.5" or 2" bars if lucky.
After some more searching, I found http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/ which is local to me. Even better.

I have used them for metals my local steelyard didnt have. You are going to pay more through them than you would locally especially when you account for shipping and the ever-changing price of metals. My local shop is more willing to negotiate if you are there in the yard buying from them.

I have used them a few times. In fact i think part of your mount came from them. Typical overpriced internet store really, you shouldnt have any issues with them.
Try to find a local metal yard for better prices.
