Bulk Single Strings source?

With Juststrings.com retiring back in October, I’m having a bit of trouble finding bulk packs of single strings.

Does anyone have a domestic source?

I am pretty much looking for 12 packs of each gauge, ie
.009 p
.011p
.016 p
.026 nw
.036 nw
.046 nw
.058 nw

This will service 6 and 7 string guitars respectively.

Any links would be appreciated.
 
That's a bummer - I haven't ordered from them for about a year, but I liked that site.
I've had good experiences with https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/
Might also help if you state a brand or series preference...
D'Addario sells singles right on their website. Ernie Ball used to let you do a "direct" order without being a dealer if it met a minimum buy - not sure if they still do.
 
Spoke with them, they only do singles, but not singles in bulk, like
12 ea .009’s
12 ea .011’s, etc.

Their singles are retail singles, so you don’t really get a discount for buying higher quantities.
 
stringsbymail.com has always been my go-to for Daddario singles. If you wanna get fancy, Stringjoy or Kalium. Kaliums are my favorite ever, though their packaging is somewhat cumbersome. (I buy their explanation based on my own tests and would be fascinated to hear results of another brand trying it.) I'd click on plain or wounds, and for wounds you'll want to start on page 2 with "universal lengths."

Daddario has a direct pack builder with quantity discounts.

I have preferred Daddarios forever so I dont know about other brands.
I checked that out, while not as cost effective as my JustStrings.com experience, still a great value, and a high consideration at this point.

Musicians friend is being very helpful in filling in the gaps of gauges missing from their website.

I paid just at $0.58 cents per string after shipping for 12 ea 7 string sets through Just Strings.com last year. The average single string on most sites is anywhere between $1.99/$2.99 per string. Trying to shave that back a bit.
