Subject: Hex nuts for modeling in the US?

Antecoti's makes great stuff, but shipping is outrageous. Almost 11 GBP just to ship 2 sets of these is just more than I'm willing to pay:
http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/code-128-sci-fi-hex-nut.html
They were my first choice, and I'd have used them if the shipping just wasn't so high.
So, does anyone know where I can find a comparable product from a US seller? I've done some Google searches, but just have not had luck. All I'm finding are full-on metal rivets/screws in modelling sizes.
Thanks in advance.

Holy...
I think this is it.
I just presumed the images on Antecoti's page were their own, but these look to be the exact same things... which makes it a lot easier, since I know which ones I want.
Thanks.

Thanks, all. In the end, I went with Zinge. It was still too expensive to pay $.10 each per rivet... but I need them so these Ork conversions don't look like crap.
The only rivets I liked of the other style (apparently, everyone else buys the same ones from the same manufacturer) were about half to 1/3 the size I wanted. This want, half are a little smaller than I want, but can deal with, and the other half are great.
I went with 4 of these:

There is also Micro-Mark, which is just an incredible store in general. I LOVE their silicone mold and resin stuff and all their tools...

Thanks for the link.
I like MicroMark. I've bought from them in the past.
I didn't even think to look at them. having checked your link, though, I'm not sure I missed much. The price on those is a bit steep.
Even if there IS nearly 400 in that lot... i just don't need 384 of them. LOL
