As I live in a country area, dropping in to the local hardware store for simple things like a bathroom plug, a shower hose, or slightly more exotic items like a fire extinguisher or rain gauge, requires planning and a long trip in the car. So I took a chance on getting a selection of hardware items from hardwarefast.com.au, using their pics and descriptions as guides. Their prices were competitive, and transport charge free (for purchases over $100). Goods arrived quickly and in good order.
Competitive, quick, easy selection on line
