Fastenal does still offer shipping, but only for shippers who have business
accounts with them.  I have bought a lot of tractor parts using this
method.  They also only ship within a "zone".  I know I can get stuff from
MN to IA via this method, but not from CA to IA.  They also ONLY ship to
one of their stores, not to another business address.
