Hi Folks.
I'm getting a quote for 1/32" steel snap head rivets x max length so that they can be cut to size for the job in hand. Is anyone interested in getting any to bump up the order and get the price down? I've asked for quotes on my 200, plus 1000 and 2000 rivets. Anyone wants this size can have them at cost plus postage at cost. I'll post the actual costs for, say 50 and 100 rivets, when I get the quote.
Bob.

Just got a reply back from the rivet supplier:-
If we can get an order together for 1000 rivets, the cost would be £8.19 per 100 plus postage to you. If we can get an order together for 2000 rivets, the cost comes down to £6.20 per 100 rivets. The rivets are in stock too, so minimum wait. I'm just waiting now, for the head radius to be able to get a ball bearing to make the rivet snaps.
If anyone is interested, PM me. I'm aiming to place an order sometime first week in March.
Bob.

I have 3 other members interested in ordering so I would hope to be ordering the 1000 rivets next Monday. If anyone else wants any, PM me before Monday and I would hope to be able to order 2000 and get the price down to the £6.20, plus postage, mark.
Bob.

Don't forget that the rivet counters will make sure you send them exactly the correct quantity. Unhelpfully! Chris.

Hi Alan.
I've already accounted for VAT in my prices because the manufacturer said it would be on top of the quoted price. It also includes the postage to me. The prices I quoted include VAT but not the postage to you. Until I get some rivets to package and weigh, I won't know the postal cost. It's not going to be much though, on 100 rivets.
Bob.

Hi Bob
Sorry, just didnt want you to lose money when you are offering such a service. margins are tight on rivets.

Hi Alan.
Thanks for the thought.
We now have enough interest to place an order for 2000 rivets, so the cost will be £6.20 per 100 plus postage at cost. If anyone else wants rivets, we may be able to buy 3000 and that should bring the price down even more. I shall be ordering on Monday 5th so if anyone is undecided, I will check the thread at 9.00 am on Monday, to see if there are any more orders, before I place the order.
Sorry. I've just noticed that I haven't included the length in any of my posts. The length of the rivets is 7/32" under the head.
Bob.

Yes. They have been very helpful. I'm just waiting for a quote for 3000 rivets today to see if we can get the price down even further.

Hello 92220, I would be interested in buying 250 rivets (300 if a round number is easier).
Thanks,
4303

Hi 4303.
I've added you to the list. Buying a round 300 would be easier, if you don't mind, as I would prefer to just split them up into packets of 100 each.
It looks as if we will get to the 3000 mark over the weekend. I've had a quote. If I can order 3000 rivets. they come in at £57.90 per 1000 including carriage and VAT, to me. That will bring the cost down to £5.79 per 100, plus the cost of postage to you from me, at cost, which shouldn't be very much.
Bob.

Bob,
This group buy is very kind of you. I am quite taken aback by the discount on quantity.
Thanks, Steve

Well I have enough orders for 3000. The order book is still open. If anyone else would like to order, maybe we can get to 4000. That will bring the price down even more.

Bob I wonder if a tagged on order for 500 5/64" would be entertained or assist with pricing ??

Hi Milky
I'm afraid I can't answer that one but when I ring in with the order I can ask the question. What length do you want?
Bob.

Hi David.
I will see if I can add them. What length are you looking for?
Bob. Edit: Or do you want the longest available so that you can cut to length?
