Post Base: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $24.00 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $8.00 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $24.00 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $20.00 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $16.00 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $13.00 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $11.00 |
| 100,000+ units | $8.00 |
What moves the price
For post base, the drivers are post height, base type, material, finish, opening size, glazing type, frame finish, lockable or not — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published US-facing retail/trade listings for Simpson Strong-Tie and related post-base products show low-volume unit prices in the single digits to low tens, with bulk breaks starting around 10–12 units and prices falling as quantity rises. For a mid-range custom printed event stanchion/post base, the main cost drivers are material, weight, finish, locking/opening hardware, and whether the order is domestically fabricated or imported landed; custom print and special finishes usually add more than the raw base shape itself. Realistic supplier routes are industrial hardware distributors for stock components, custom metal fabricators for private-label runs, or Alibaba-style import sourcing with landed-equivalent pricing, but the latter usually requires MOQ negotiations and longer lead times.
