Usa Made Buckles

[Rayban]

I can call him but don't know what to say really other than I will take some, depending on pricing. Let s say he prices them out at 1.00 avg. How many would everyone buy. I would guess he wants to know the volume more than how many of us want some. If 4 of us take 200 each that is a decent run but if 10 of us take 25 each I doubt he would even mess with it.

Do we know a ballpark price on his stuff? We just make our own made from solid brass but it takes forever and would love to just buy them from a company here.

All points that should be directed at him, that's why you should call or email him.

I sent John and Joshua an e-mail to follow up what I started. My Wife says that paying for US Labor over import is ok,and if the price is within 1.00 of import it won't affect purchase;and It can be marketed as All USA hardware.

I talked to Joshua ,at Philip Machine today. He quoted me a price of 1.14 per buckle for 1 in centerbar drop center, roller,quantity 1gross. He's sending me a couple of samples so we are on same page.

It looks as if prices will be reasonable if you stay with a popular item . This thread kind of died,hope this helps anyone still interested.

I am definitely still interested, but mainly in 1-1/2" heel bars.

I am also interested in US Brass buckles in 1 1/4-1 1/2-1 3/4 in nickel & brass (round & square). I purchase in 500 quantities of each except 1000 on the 1 1/2 nickel square. I am about to pull the trigger on a new Mfg but can hold off for a few weeks.A group buy would be great but quality is very important. I will also make the call but if anything comes up feel free to contact us at 678/520-2695. I am sick of the China junk, as well.

Hope we can work something out.

Joshua told me there are a lot of buckles not listed on web site,You have to e-mail,and probably call. They make thousands of 1 in and 1 1/4 harness buckles . If You're computer savy you can send photo of what you want.

I also found a place to buy usa DOT Snaps 100 pkg or 1,000. I'm using Perfect Fit in Portland Or.

1.14 per for 1" roller centerbar is not too bad at all. The cheaper non rollers I buy are usually between .50 and 1.20 depending on what is in stock.

Has anyone straight out asked what kind of volume Philips usually works in or what kind of minimum they would be looking for? I use both 1" center bars for bag straps and 1 1/2" heels for belts and utility straps regularly. I'd be willing to go in on a run of 50 of each or so.

I would encourage you to call them and ask them. As has been stated up above, the more calls/emails they get, and the more interest show by us folks at LW, the more they likely they are to work with us on certain items.

That of course means bending their rules on min orders etc.

I wonder if there is anyway to see Samples ?
