I'm looking for reliable and affordable online source for mortarless
glass block installation hardware/components.

Anyone with experience which to avoid and which to use?

Why does it have to be an online source?
The big box stores sell mortarless glass block, at least my Lowes does.
The local prices could be comparable with online prices after you
eliminate the online shipping costs.

I got the best deal at a brick yard, cheaper than the box stores. They
were also more helpful

Let me tell you how helpful my local brick yard was.
I walked in there with the measurements of the space I wanted to build a
glass brick wall.
The guy told me how many I would need. I bought the amount he stated.
It turns out that there were a couple of boxes of brick that were left
over when I finished'
I brought them back to the brick yard and they charged me a restocking fee.
I told them it was their guy's fault for selling me more than I needed
when I told him the measurements.
I still had to pay the restocking fee.
Would a big box store charge a restocking fee?
