Who's a good source for bulk  oregon presets/straps?

Pat's Small Engine (above) is good for buying a bunch of identical pre-sets, because of their flat rate shipping.  But if you work on many different sizes of chain, you can end up with quite an investment buying 25 of each type/size, etc.   Bailey's may charge a little more per piece, but they let you buy them onesey-twosey at the same price (and now have $9.99 flat rate shipping - we'll see if that lasts).  So I like to keep a list of what I might need, using their on-line 'wish list', and add that to any existing Bailey's order.  This saves me shipping costs, and sometimes has helped me get up to a $50 minimum for free shipping, or some similar deal.

For STIHL pre-sets I go to my dealer, but do not get any deals there.  Even when I had to spin up 20 62DL chains to 67 DL, requiring 40 pre-sets.  I think he might have even raised the price when he realized his prices were 'out of date'!
