I now just go to the specialist stores. Some times might be a bit more money, but often much better service.

Go to mitre 10 / dahlsens for generalist store (or if you're lucky you might have a small family business) -Total tools / Sydney tools for tools
Reece for plumbing goods -Local wood provider for wood. -Metal land for any metal needs etc. Sure, strictly speaking it's not as convenient.. but good service, good quality (variable) , not supporting a Monopoly. -----------
