I didn't compare shipping, but bolt depot (for instance) is $2.80 for a 4.5" Grade 8 9/16-12 hex bolt, while www.albanycountyfasteners.com is $1.56 for the same thing. Of course, I don't see the same 4" bolt at ACF though. Not picking bolt depot apart, I've never used them, and that is only one item.
I generally use ACF if I'm purchasing 20-30$ worth of bolts and screws, their shipping seems pretty reasonable, and their prices are pretty hard to beat. Good excuse to buy a good assortment of fasteners.
They've also been a good company to deal with, and often offer 10% off. "discount10" might still work? Free shipping quite often too, with minimum purchase of course.

I buy my bolts and nuts,washers,etc,at Tractor Supply,by the pound..
Not sure if they stock 9/16" bolts,they may not have that size in bulk,only in the "drawers" and may not have that many of them on hand..
They sell grade 5 and 8 bolts by the pound for between 3-5 bucks--its a lot better than buying a bolt at a time for a buck each at other places..

That's usually my go to, but they do not stock 9/16 in bulk. I'll look at that ACF company.
I use McMaster-Carr primarily since I receive the order within 1-2 business days. I also buy bulk 5/16",3/8", 1/2" and other smaller stuff by the pound at a local steel shop.

Bolt depot is not good for single purchases. But in bulk the price gets better.
Free shipping with Albany over 35 bucks it looks like! Well now I will compare prices.
Thanks for the new site @dyeager535
