This is replacing "Amazon Supply" which was the acquisition of smallparts.com , which was one of the best ways I knew to get a box of just the right bolts. But now they're closing that down and folding it in to this other thing? Does "Buy products available exclusively to Amazon Business customers" mean that those products get hidden behind some new special section of amazon? Do I have to get an "Amazon Business" account to buy bolts? Is the smallparts/amazonsupply portal going away and now I don't have a good way to browse bolts (for those times when I'm not sure if I want it made out of steel or brass or nylon)?
In short, I miss smallparts.com
All of the fasteners I've bought on AmazonSupply have also been available on Amazon proper, they were just harder to find there. I really hope Amazon can improve their search interface for this stuff. While AmazonSupply was much better than Amazon itself or Grainger, McMaster still destroys everyone else in this space -- McMaster wins a lot of business based on nothing more than the ease of finding products on their website.
