Bulk Buying Fasteners: The Smart Way to Save Big on Your Next Project

For many construction companies, manufacturers, and DIY enthusiasts, fasteners - yes, those tiny bolts, nuts, and screws - can add up to a surprising chunk of the budget!

Surprising Fact: A single commercial project can require tens of thousands of fasteners. If you’re not buying in bulk, you could be throwing away thousands of dollars without even realising it.

Curious how changing your purchasing strategy can save you big $$$? Let’s break it down.

Bulk Savings in Action: How $1,000 in Savings Can Transform Your Project

Let’s say a construction company needs 10,000 stainless steel hex bolts for a commercial job. Here’s what the cost would look like:

• Retail Price (No Discount): $0.50 per bolt × 10,000 = $5,000
• Bulk Discount (20% off): $0.40 per bolt × 10,000 = $4,000
• Total Savings: $1,000

That $1,000 is substantial - it could cover additional staff costs, buy new tools, or upgrade other project materials. For larger projects, these savings can scale even higher.

Why Bulk Buying Fasteners Makes Perfect Sense

Buying in bulk isn’t just about saving money - it’s about better project management, fewer delays, and consistency throughout the job.

• Save More as You Buy More: The bigger your order, the better the price per unit.
• Eliminate Hidden Costs: One big shipment saves on multiple shipping fees and order processing costs

Top Tips for Getting the Best Bulk Fastener Deals

1. Plan Ahead for Maximum Savings

Knowing what fasteners you’ll need across the entire project timeline avoids the pitfall of placing multiple small orders. Every separate order adds shipping costs and potential price fluctuations.  Drayton Bolts & Fasteners can help you estimate in your planning phase.

2. Negotiate with Your Supplier

Don’t settle for the listed price. Bulk purchases should give you bargaining power. Ask about:

• Additional bulk discounts
• Free shipping on large orders
• Future discounts for repeat business

At Drayton Bolts & Fasteners, we love working with our customers to ensure they get the best deal possible.

3. Watch for Seasonal Bulk Deals

Many suppliers offer seasonal promotions, especially during spring sales or end-of-year clearances. These are perfect opportunities to stock up on essential fasteners at even lower prices.  

4. Leverage Your Loyalty

If you’re a regular buyer, remember to ask about loyalty rewards. Drayton Bolts & Fasteners and many other businesses offer:

• Exclusive discounts
• Priority ordering
• Special loyalty deals throughout the year

You can be certain "Your loyalty is noticed at Drayton Bolts & Fasteners!”
