• Online O-Ring Price & Discount Schedule  – If you’ve looked around the internet, you know that easy to read o-ring price lists are a rarity, and openly published quantity discounts are virtually non-existent.We give our competitors a bit of an advantage by letting them see our prices (while their’s remain hidden), but we think the service it provides our customers is ample consolation.   If we were the only game in town, consumers would have no reason to trust us, but that isn’t the case…we’re just the only ones willing to give our best prices to everyone, not just the more astute consumers.
• Three-Way Discounts
  1. Generous volume discounts in 4-tiered price columns with item minimums beginning around $10 each.
  2. Multi-item order discounts — Orders of 20 items or more priced at next lower tier pricing; 50 item orders priced at second lower price bracket.
  3. Free Shipping & Handling on all orders over $100 (limitations apply; please see Order Info for details).
