Subway is a great source for supplies. I wanted to share a couple things to be aware of when ordering from them.
In my experience, you need to call them and ask specifically if what you are ordering is in stock. If you don't you risk sitting there for weeks or months, often after they charge your credit card, then calling and learning that the item was back ordered. Seems they don't tell you what's going on unless you ask. They are supposed to wait to run charges through until shipping, they usually process a charge right away. Their website is difficult to navigate.
Still, they usually have or can get what you need. Overall, not bad.

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for the information on Subway, especially the back order issues. This type of information can really help, there is nothing I hate worse than waiting for something to get shipped. I always feel like a kid waiting for Christmas when I have stamps or supplies coming in.

You might want to take a few minutes to introduce yourself and share your collecting areas in the "introduce yourself here" category.

Seconded! I find it most-effective to download their PDF catalog, make one's shopping list, then search using the website by product numbers.

The people there are great, in general. Jen is an especially pleasant person to deal with.

When buying album supplies in bulk, one can often find representatives who can significantly undercut them (Lindner comes to mind.) "Dennis's" stamp hinges are nothing near the quality of the "Dennison's" that used to be made on the same machine. But keeping in mind a few tips such as these and @Stamps1962's, they are a great go-to source for philatelic supplies, in my experience.
