Frequently Asked Questions
See frequently asked questions below.
What is the minimum quantity for container pricing?
Full container loads (18+ tonnes) typically qualify for best pricing. Some suppliers offer LCL (less than container load) at higher per-unit cost. Consolidating with other buyers to fill a container is common.
How do I know if bulk ordering is right for my business?
Calculate your annual fastener spend. If over $10,000/year, bulk ordering likely saves money. Consider storage capacity and cash flow implications.
What if my inventory needs change mid-container?
Communicate changes before container ships. Once loaded and shipped, changes are difficult. Build flexibility into initial order quantities.
How do I handle slow-moving fastener items?
Analyze usage rates before bulk ordering. Limit slow items to 3-6 month supply. Consider returning or exchanging unused stock with supplier if possible.
Should I negotiate annual contracts?
Yes, annual contracts with committed volumes typically earn additional 5-10% discount and priority production scheduling. Ensure you can meet committed volumes before signing.
