Save on shipping costs when ordering office chair casters

Many office product websites offer discounts on shipping costs, or in many cases free shipping, when you purchase a set minimum amount from their websites. Office chair caster and wheel sets can be heavy to ship -- so shipping savings can be significant.
Try: Office Depot and Staples offer a promotion where, if you purchase $50 or more of any related office product, they will provide you with free next business day delivery.

Look for websites that offer price matching programs for office chair wheels

Some office product websites will match competitor prices to ensure you get the lowest price. This is a good opportunity for you to take advantage of getting the product you want, but at the lowest price possible.
Try: Ace Hardware sells office chair caster and wheel sets and will match any competitor price you find, provided you submit it to their attention within seven days of the purchase. Shoplet also sells office chair casters and wheels and will match any price you find by 110 percent, which actually equates to a 10% discount.

Take advantage of volume purchasing discounts when buying office chair wheels

If you need to purchase caster and wheels for a large office, or for many chairs or perhaps even furniture, be on the lookout for volume discounts. Basically, volume or bulk discounts translate into steep savings based on how many items are ordered. In a nutshell, the more you buy the cheaper the per unit price.
Try: Rapid Supplies reduces the individual price of each caster based on how many you purchase. Office-Supplies sells caster wheels for almost $3 less per item if you purchase 50 or more.

 

• In cases where wheels for office chairs are being used to wheel furniture around, consider substituting a set of furniture glides. These furniture glides protect your office floors and allow furniture to move seamlessly across it. They are also less expensive than commercial office chair casters.
