I often just pick out a different grade of hardware when that happens to me at McMaster. Costs a bit more per piece but you can get them in smaller quantities.
I recently ordered a brass pipe adapter 3/8 male x 3/4 female from Amazon. It took 4 days to get it and they sent me the wrong item anyway. They sent a 3/4 male x 3/8 female reducing bushing with gnarly threads (China). Four days wasted and then I have to deal with returning it on top of that. So I ordered one from McMaster for a few bucks more, got the correct part, and got a better quality part delivered in two days - not four. Amazon is getting to be more and more a roll of the dice and not worth it.
