Sunglasses: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $1.55 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.66 at volume, on a typical 30-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.

What moves the price
For sunglasses, the drivers are dimensions, plating, backing type, color count — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Real supplier pricing for plastic sunglasses is usually published as per-dozen wholesale on US-facing distributors and as FOB/unit quotes on B2B marketplaces. The main price drivers are frame material and lens type, with polarized or mirrored lenses costing more than basic PC lenses; customization, packaging, and decoration add further cost, especially for OEM/print-ready programs. For realistic sourcing, the closest routes are US wholesalers that sell by the dozen for stock styles and China/OEM factories or marketplaces for landed-equivalent bulk pricing at larger volumes; the latter is where sub-$1 unit costs are commonly quoted at 1,200+ piece MOQs.
