US supplier of Slate Coasters?

[Nick Andraka]

Looking for boxes of 25, 50,or 100 blank round and square coasters.
Everything I find in the US is not from the stone supplier, but 2nd, 3rd, or 4th person re seller. (packed as 4 coasters with a ribbon around it)
I found some in the UK at .75pd each (90 cents), but nothing bulk in the US.

I found tons of it on AliExpress and Alibaba,
Do I have to buy from China if I want bulk prices??

I would say yes. I have a friend (actually the people who bought my 45w Trotec) and they use a lot of marble coasters, which are also from China.

I've bought bulk from China a couple of times now and have had good luck. The worst part is the shipping time and duty and handling charges on the US side. Almost as much as the coasters and shipping. I've got hope for JDS if they can ever get caught up with their backorders. Their coasters are fairly close in cost to what I've got into mine I've ordered from China. However, they are about 9,500 in the hole right now, and have no idea how many they have inbound, as I have not asked.

I bought some from Michaels craft store, they are not bulk (4 pack with ribbon) but are only like 3.25 for 4 of them, they have coupons often that can get price even lower. You would probably need to order off there website for bulk. In store they only had a few.

You have to get set up with a reseller account to log in and get pricing. I don't believe there's anything that would prevent me from saying the following though. If you guy in quantities of 60 or more of the 4 inch square or round slate coasters, they would be $0.65 per coaster. Buy $500 of product in one order and get free shipping.

JDS was easy to set up, you DO need a State taxpayer ID at a minimum. Shipping can get expensive, you CAN set them up to use your shipping account, i.e. if you want billed to your UPS account. Or as above $500 get you free shipping.

Thanks for the info guys,
I dont have a state, only a federal tax ID #
I'll have to get daughter set up on that.
