Like send cut send. Last I used them there was not an order minimum.

There's also Quick parts. I'm not sure how pricing compares, but they can give an instant quote for a lot of materials.

And Xometry; they're basically a broker operated by the same company as the Thomas Register, but can also do instant quotes.
