About Bulk-Only Items
Some Fastenio items are marked Bulk-Only — drop-shipped from supplier. These items don't ship from our regularly-stocked inventory — they're sent directly to you from our supplier, who requires a minimum order size for each shipment.
How it works
When you add a bulk-only item to your cart, you'll see a status banner showing how close your order is to qualifying for shipment. You can mix bulk-only items with our regularly-stocked items — both count toward qualifying your order.
When does your order qualify?
The banner will let you know:
- ✓Order ready — supplier minimum met → your order will ship within 7 business days.
- •Almost there → add a few more items to qualify.
- •Building your order → keep adding items to unlock bulk-only shipping.
Orders that include bulk-only items typically need a cart subtotal of $1,500+ to qualify.
Why this exists
The bulk-only model lets us offer fasteners at supplier-floor pricing without holding the inventory ourselves. It keeps our prices competitive on items we don't move every day — and it means you get the same wholesale economics our supplier offers.
Pack multiples only
Bulk-only items ship as one full supplier pack. You order in pack multiples — no partial packs.
Supplier-floor pricing
One per-piece price — bulk pricing is already baked in. No laddered tiers to navigate.
7-business-day shipping
Bulk-only items ship within 7 business days after your order qualifies.
Free US shipping
US shipping to you is always free, even on bulk-only orders.
