The consumer hardware store in Australia sells a full range of both. Takes up a lot of space. The metric nuts & bolts are definitely cheaper than the imperial ones though.
Pretty accurate and its due to trade with the USA.
For example I wanted small nuts and screws for a project. Got metric from Amazon and I needed M2 screw and nuts.
But when I tried to get it sourced by a local company in NS, they didn’t have the metric nuts and the screws where expensive.
So I found a closes size I could get in imperial, #2-56. They didn’t just have them, but they were pennies per unit.
