How to Look for White Pillar Candles in Bulk

Event decorators, interior designers and display designers know the value of a flickering white pillar candle. Whether buying for business functions, holiday parties, weddings or other special occasions---buying in bulk can bring expenses down and keep the budget in line. Reasonable prices for bulk purchases drop even lower the larger the quantity purchased and with the consistency of the purchase. Regular weekly and monthly purchases can, over time, put customers into the "special pricing" category of a wholesaler or retailer. Making a singular bulk purchase is possible too.

Things You'll Need

• Tape measure
• Calculator

Instructions

1. Know what height, shape (round or square) and quantity of white pillar candle you need. Use a tape measure and calculator for accurate figuring.

2. Gather pricing from a variety of sources for cost comparison before making a final purchase.

3. Locate candle manufacturers or their representatives who sell in bulk to the public. Use the Thomas Register online or find a Thomas Register by visiting a local library's reference section. The Thomas Register is a listing of manufacturers that make all types of products.

4. Check "closeout" retailers that sell bulk products. Inquire whether a shipment is available or is expected in a needed time frame.

5. Order ahead of time from local and online retailers selling white pillar candles. Try candle makers, party supply, arts and crafts and home decorating stores.

Tips & Warnings

• Ask about about cancellations and refunds if requested to pay up front.
