Step 1
Join a wholesale club. Businesses such as Sam's Club and Costco specialize in offering products to people in bulk quantities. Check your local phone book or the business' website for the location nearest you. Orders at both of these businesses also can be placed online. Note that these businesses often require patrons to purchase monthly or yearly memberships in an effort to make up for some of the money lost due to the vast amounts of money that will be saved from shopping there.

Step 2
Use the Internet. Sites such as Amazon.com, Buy.com and Overstock.com allow users to purchase multiple amounts of the same item for every product listed in their online store. Though savings will be minimal as no real deal-per-unit is being offered, it is still a viable way to buy items in bulk quantities.

Step 3
Contact the distributor directly. Apple is an example of a company that has customer service lines available for people looking to buy bulk quantities of iPods and other Apple electronics. The same philosophy holds through with any distributor. Use the websites for distributors like 20th Century Fox (www.fox.com), Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) and any other company you wish to buy products to locate the customer service telephone number of that company. Deals on the price-per-unit can be negotiated with a sales representative at the time of purchase, and will depend on the exact amount of units being ordered.
