subject: Buying Affordable Wholesale Body Jewelry [print this page] When many people think of wholesale body jewelry, they usually think that yes, it is cheaper than paying retail prices, but they also assume that you have to purchase a ton of it in a bulk order for that cheap price to take effect. Compared to retail costs, wholesale body jewelry is definitely cheaper, and the best thing is that it is the exact same stuff that is sold to retail stores. It is just that the middle man has been cut out, so the mark up is much less, which is what brings cheaper prices to consumers. There was a time in the past when only licensed people and companies could purchase in a wholesale fashion; however, thanks to the passing of time and the invention of the Internet, anyone can buy wholesale.
It is true that in general, you have to order wholesale body jewelry in volume, so if you want to order only a couple of things you may not be able to. However, this is still different from in the past, when buyers were required to buy hundreds of identical products at once to get the wholesale price. Today, although you may be required to buy a certain minimum amount, that amount is much smaller than it used to be and oftentimes it does not all have to be one color, one size or one design. Also keep in mind that no one ever said that you had to deal with the prices they want you to pay you can always try to negotiate, especially if you are interested in buying in bulk quantities.
Before you go on making a purchase on the Internet, you have to do some work and some research to make sure that you are shopping with an excellent trader or wholesale dealer. There are plenty of them out there, and if they are really good they should have no trouble displaying important information about their business for their potential customers. They should have information on their site that convinces you that they are well established, that they do not mark up their prices excessively, that they have many business connections and that they have low overhead costs.
Information about overhead costs is very important, because if a wholesale body jewelry supplier has a lot of overhead to pay, they are going to mark up their prices for their customers more than someone who does not have a lot of overhead. They are going to mark up prices on their wholesale body jewelry because it provides revenue for them to pay their bills.
