Antec 300 bulk purchase?

pullmyfoot · January 6th, 2009, 09:46 AM

Ok I am completely new to this. I want to purchase a bunch of Antec 300 cases (30 maybe?) but I have no idea what the best way to go about doing this is. Antec's site isnt very helpful either and I cant find any customer support for this kinda thing.

Anyone got any experience to share?

Thanks

Are you hoing to get a discount of some sort?
Can you just go to Newegg and change the Cart to 30 items?

Yeah I wanted a bulk discount of some sort. Any way to get one? I am planning to buy a substantial number after all..

Some web sites do offer a bulk discount. The more you buy the more you save.

Do you have a local pc shop that you use?
Maybe have a word with the owner and see if either he can point you in the right direction, or even order them for you.

Ok maybe I should rephrase my question a little. What would be the best way to contact Antec about this?

They do have reseller promotions and discounts here in the states but I don't see any mention of abroad. Here are the only contact pages I see

Antec.com - customer service
Antec.com - Online Customer Support System: Central & Southern Africa zone

edit: I'd call them and ask
US office Phone: 510-770-1200
Customer service Phone: 1-800-222-6832
Hours: 8:00am to 5:00pm Pacific Time, Monday to Friday

edit 2: I'm sure you realize how much room 30 cases takes up and how much upfront cost you are talking about

Unless you are a reseller looking to possibly establish a potential supply line, thirty units is not likely to be considered a bulk order from a large manufacturer.

If you have some type of business license, you might fair better than retail through a wholesale distributor, or at least that is how it often works here in the states.

Down at the consumer level, thirty units can be a decent size order for a retail vendor. If utlimately forced to go the retail route, still inquire about a volume discount before purchasing. You might be surprised.

Thanks for the advice. I was actually thinking of starting up my own shop sometime this year doing builds. Still seriously thinking through all the possibilities.

In any case, do you think a shop would like it if I went up to them and asked them for their supplier? I mean they may not really like it since its kinda like, helping the competition no?
