| Sawasdee Ka/Krup! (Hello!)
Over the past few months we've had a
few inquiries about selling our Buddha and Buddhist amulets
in bulk to those that have stores in America,
UK, Australia, and Sweden.
We didn't originally start selling
amulets to become involved in this - but it's found us
anyway and we're slowly finding out what we need to in order
to satisfy customers that want to purchase 20 amulets or
more at a time.
We do have discounts for bulk amulet
buys. Please understand that our margins are not large by
any means, and, we really do donate 10% back to the temple
as a gift and so we retain good karma... No, we can't take
the 10% off your order that we give to the temple!
But, we can still give you 10-15% off
small orders of a dozen or so amulets. If we're shipping in
bulk we will need to declare to customs whatever the order
is. We will list the value as our price here so you don't
get slammed. One customer recently told us that if we write,
"Hanging ornaments" on the form then they won't have to pay
as much customs tax. I don't know if that's true, but we're
going to try it and see what happens.
If you order in bulk - when we tally up
the price we include the $9 shipping on each amulet - though
we are sending in bulk. A couple reasons for this:
1. We make some money off shipping. It
doesn't cost us $9 to ship the amulet in most cases - so we
make a few dollars from this. If we remove it and give you a
discount off the price then we'll be operating on no profit
margin and no point of doing business other than the thrill
we get out of seeing people get these amazing amulets. Which
we might do on a case by case basis, but not often.
2. When we send in bulk we send your
package registered, insured mail with EMS - the Thai Postal
service's highest standard mail. It will cost somewhere
between 1,500 baht and 4,500 baht to send through the mail
to you depending what country you're in. We're in the
process of finding out how much it costs to ship to each
country. To America - about 2,000 baht it looks like.
Presently with currency exchange that means $68 USD.
If you order in large quantities - over
25 amulets, we may give you 18% discount. If you order over
50 amulets then perhaps 20-22% discount. All of this is
relative to what you're ordering. If you're ordering 100
bracelets we probably can't discount that much. If you're
ordering 100 amulets that retail for $79 then we can
discount 22%.
If you are interested in ordering bulk
Thai gold amulets from us just send us email and let us know
your plans.
We do have a LARGE selection of amulets
similar to the amulets you see here on our site. There are
approximately 70-100 more types for sale at the temple than
we have on this site, and we can get those for you - some in
bulk, some not. I'll be putting together some new pages to
offer all the amulets in bulk in the future.
