New for Stores! Packs of 100 and 250 rings for resale. Contact us for more info.
Discount Structure
Keep in mind that our prices for 1,000 packs are already about 40% off the "base price" for 50- and 100-packs. The discounts below are in addition to that.
Discounts are for ring packs (50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000) ONLY. Your total order must contain 10,000 rings or more.
COPP, BRSS, BRNZ and saw-cut AA (Anodized Aluminum) discounts for same ring metal, size & color*:
All packs up to 1,000 = 20% off
2-4 packs of 1,000 = 25% off
5+ packs of 1,000 = 30% off
EC, EC(s) discounts for same size & color*:
All packs up to 500 = 20% off
2-4 packs of 500 = 25% off
5+ packs of 500 = 30% off
*Mixes are considered one color. Also for anodized aluminum rings, note that the volume discounts work best if you're purchasing packs of 500 or 1,000. If you're getting mostly packs of 250, you're better off using the regular "mix and match" option of splitting a pack of 1,000 into 4 packs of 250.

All packs up to 1,000 = 20% off

Shipping Rates & Times
All orders ship USPS Priority Mail. Because we do free shipping for all domestic orders over $250, many volume discount orders should qualify for this perk—unless you're just getting 10,000 teensy tiny aluminum rings or something(!)—in which case our normal shipping rates apply. International shipping depends on the weight and destination country.
Most volume orders ship within 2-3 business days, but if your order is more than 20,000 rings, it may take a few days longer. We generally keep about 5,000 rings of any given type in stock, but if we're out, we'll add that ring type to our production list and ship it when it arrives from our ringmakers (usually 1-2 weeks).
Have questions or want to place an order? Right now, the fastest way to place a volume discount order is to give us a call and let us know what you'd like. (If you pay via PayPal, and we determine your order qualifies for a volume discount, we'll refund the difference to you when we process your order.)
You can reach us at 773.478.3767 (toll free: 866.602.7464) or via email: orders@bluebuddhaboutique.com. Sometimes when you call you might not reach a real person (because we're teaching a workshop, or at the Post Office, etc.). Please leave your contact info and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
