Just completed the Kreg Screw survey and would like to add a request that the survey did not give me an opportunity to. I want to echo others OC members who've stated they buy from Amazon without issue. Good thing because they have become difficult to find at any convenient brick and mortar location here in Southwest WA.
I use Kreg screws on virtually every woodworking project and go through them steadily enough to request that Kreg do whatever is required to have them added to Amazon's "Subscribe and Save" selection.
I use this Amazon service for laundry detergent, coffee K-cups, motor oil, oil filters, in cabin micro filters, shampoo, razor blades, etc. - everything I buy on a predictable cadence - even TP! Everything I buy ships free and I always check the price against the lowest priced retailer for that product category before ordering. Everything I subscribe to is the same or lower priced than Wal-Mart, Woodcrafters, O'Reilly, etc. I've become so used to never running out of most things that I probably act like a spoiled child when I do.
Anyway, a consumable product like Kreg screws are a perfect fit for Subscribe and Save.

Rockler does ship to Australia. Not sure the charges or sometimes they have free shipping on orders over a certain dollar amount, not sure if that applies with International shipping. Always worth asking about.
Amazon.com is a great option. Generally, they are very straightforward with their international shipping prices and time frames.
You can also search for a Kreg Dealer you on our website.
Forgot to add, that both of the big box stores in the area, no matter the location, stink at a good Kreg selection. Not sure why. But Rockler is a fun store to go to, so I certainly do not mind.
We have a Rockler store in the area. Not super close, but about a 30 minute drive. They carry all the sizes. Which I keep on hand, because you never know. Love that instant gratification. But Amazon is definitely another great go to for "stuff".
I find Kreg screws handy for many other wood fastening tasks,
other than pocket screw holes.
Problem I see is the different sizes I use. For the most part, I'm using the 1¼" coarse thread and the 1" fine thread. Lowe's stocks the 1¼" coarse in 500 pc boxes, and I'm usually good on those. I'll pick up other sizes as needed in the smaller containers. If I need something different, I'll stop and pick them up, if they have them. The ones I do have difficulty finding are the 1" coarse thread, and I'll pick up a box of those when I see them.
Hey Justin.
I don't know if you have Menards out in WA, but that is where I get alot of my screws. They don't have all of the selections, but enough to get me by if I run out in the middle of a project (which happens more than I would like to admit). They are competitive on the price for the screws and when you can't / don't want to wait for them to be shipped this may be an option for you. Farm and Fleet also has a small selection, but they are more hit or miss on their stock, and I believe that Home Depot has unfortunately discontinued the majority of the sizes.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
