i have a better sorce
http://www.rjleahy.com/
they are an american company but for upto 3 pounds of rivets the shipping is only $15-$16 ish and at $8 per pound of rivets its very cost efectiv
its best to go for the 1/4th long shanked rivets for most projects those are the only ones i use, i prefer the 1/8th round X 1/4th long rounds head rivets (700 per lb), but they do bulkier rivets aswell, have a good look, might be a lot easyer than nz sorced ones
