I use (and love) supplyhouse.com (used to be PexSupply.com) for my plumbing needs and boltdepot.com for fasteners.

Is there an equivalent for electrical supplies you guys would recommend?

Looking for low prices, decent selection, reasonable shipping, etc? Many of the places I see online are clearly setup only for trade accounts. (And search didn't turn up anything obvious, but it was hard to think of exactly what search terms to use.)

I've used Dale Electric in the past when I couldn't find what I needed at my local B&M supply houses, although I don't know if there are any better.

Why online? There's probably 4 or 5 well stocked electrical supply stores right near you. They'll take your credit card.
Support local businesses!

I do support my local businesses, but e.g. was looking for one of the P&S GFCI/nightlight combos for a bathroom yesterday, neither Dominion nor Dulles Electric carries them...

I'd love to buy local (Bolt Depot is local for me).

The local electric places make it pretty clear that they think I'm wasting their time. I've used the local Graybar a few times and every time I was made to feel like they were doing me a huge favor (honestly, I appreciated that they had what I needed, but it's not like I took a bunch of their time or anything as I knew exactly what I needed...). The other two local places started off with "show us your business license" as the first interaction. (I wonder if it's some Massachusetts thing?)

I'll check out Dale Electric; thanks n8n.
