  1. How to Save Money While Buying Traffic Control Products Many people are surprised at the value of traffic safety products. They assume a traffic cone is $5 and a traffic drum can’t be quite $20. The reason it’s more than most would think so because of the safety standards the products need to follow and the reflective sheeting that needs to be implemented. However, the explanation for this post is to assist you to save the most money possible on your next traffic safety purchase. Here area unit some tips: Buy In Bulk If you get some pallets of product 3 or more times a year, consider buying all at once then you’ll be able to negotiate a lesser price per unit when you buy in larger quantities. Secondly, you save money as a shipping cost also. For instance, if you are shipping 20 traffic cones you will pay approximately $4-5 per cone for shipping. If you purchase 100 cones then it may be closer to $1.50-2 per cone for shipping.

  2. Find The Closest Manufacturer Once you know who the closest manufacturer is, you can begin to search for that brand of product. A lot of companies (including us) drop ship our goods straight from the manufacturer. If you belong to New York then find a northeast manufacturer and go from there. Otherwise, you may finalize your purchasing from a manufacturer in California and pay the freight cost to bring the product cross-country! Manage Freight Expenses Freight can be 20% or more of the total cost of your purchase. Make sure that whoever is shipping your product gets good freight discounts. If the price seems a bit high and you are part of a big company/organization, there may heavily discount shipping accounts that you can use. Ask a higher-up about any LTL (pallet shipments) or UPS/FedEx accounts your organization may have. For us, we get great rates because we ship through the manufacturer’s account and they get large volume discounts. But when shopping elsewhere, it never hurts to ask around.
