1) Look out for these stickers  on our products:

Bulk Sale Free Shipping
Products carrying this sticker have free or discounted shipping when a certain number of items are ordered; perfect for wholesalers. More details, like minimum order quantities, can be found on individual product information pages that carry this sticker.

 Free Shipping

Exactly what it says: all products carrying the Free Shipping sticker have no shipping costs at all: the price you see on the item page is the price you pay. A great deal for wholesalers, as no matter how much you order, shipping costs are the same: absolutely free.

2) On many of our electronics and cell phone  items, there are discounts for bulk orders. Look out for tables like the one below when they appear on our detailed product pages:

Different products have different savings, but one thing is the same: the more you order, the more you save!
