DB9 Female Screwlock 4-40 - cheaper alternatives to DigiKey/Mouser?

Hi all,
I'm looking for screwlocks and hardware for DB9 connectors in the size 0.23' to 0.34' in bulk purchases of 2000-4000 units.
I've found quite a few options on DigiKey, but all seem rather expensive. Below is the best option I've found for now:
https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/raf-electronic-hardware/4750-3/1772-2041-ND/7681452
Do you know of e.g. Chinese retailers where this type of screw would be cheaper? Or maybe dedicated screw retailers?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated - I tried searching a lot, but without luck.
Best,
Martin

Have you tried contacting the supplier directly? RAF electronic hardware
Alternately, what about the supplier for your db9 plug?
You should be able to get them a lot cheaper than the digikey prices.
Tried aliexpress or put a lead up on globalsources?

Thanks, I'll try writing them directly!
As for AliExpress, I was unable to find any good examples at low price - but maybe I am searching in the wrong way.
Best,
Martin

I think these are the same as pcb standoffs, do a search for standoff on ebay/google.

19 cents each in 1000 quantity? That seems really good to me! I used to pay roughly $1 each (in smaller quantity) until some cheaper versions of these showed up.
