Is hard to beat Monoprice :)

But no, I have purchased velcro in bulk from ULine (not the kind for
wrapping cable though) and found it to be cheaper and I usually got it the
next day for not that much shipping.

I have to ask, is this an April fools joke?  ULine isn't cheap for
anything.  Monoprice, $13, around $25 delivered depending on where
you're at and how yu ship it, for 5x black hook and loop 5yd per
roll... vs. ULine $28 (1x black hook and loop 75') and probably about
same S&H.  No easy way to get them to quote S&H but last time I
ordered from them (they're about the only place to get some stuff)
ULine is over 2x as much.  Oh and Monoprice has it in quite a few
colors if you don't care for black.  If you're going for pre-made
cable wrap type stuff it's a bit more, but still half or less than
ULine.

ULine is definitely a supplier of last resort, but they've got a lot
of different stuff.
