Each has its own benefits, but also some major drawbacks. Buying from a master distributor means avoiding sourcing risks, communication struggles, complicated paperwork, and other hassles of international trade. But is that worth paying the overhead for multiple distribution centers all loaded with excess inventory and bogged down in operational inefficiencies?

Conversely, cost savings can be found by buying direct. But is that worth the headaches of sourcing high-quality, reliable international manufacturers or managing factory delays, long lead times, and high minimum purchases?

The Current Way

Buy from a large importer and master distributor with

warehouses across the country.

Traditionally, buyers have had two options when purchasing high-volume commodities:

1

Buy direct from an overseas manufacturer.

At Zirks, we’ve come up with a solution that makes volume purchasing of high-quality fasteners both efficient and cost-effective. No, Really, We don’t sell fasteners out of a distribution center; we sell them while they’re on the water.

The Zirks Way

We source fasteners from factories that we know and trust. These are manufacturers we have thoroughly vetted and with whom we’ve established long-standing relationships so that you can rest assured that the products we import meet our high-quality standards.

1We purchase full containers instead of the minimum run. This means we can sell you fasteners, one pallet at a time, at discounted, whole-container pricing.

2

Once the boat leaves port and the container is on the water, we make the product available for instant purchase. You can go to our website, see what products are available for sale and how many days until they get to us, and place an order.

3When the container arrives at port, it doesn’t go to a warehouse to sit in inventory. We immediately break down the container into pallets and ship your order to wherever you want it to go. Once they’re off the boat, pallets are shipped within 5 days.

The Benefitsof ZIRKSZirks responds to the industry by eliminating the operational inefficiencies and costs associated with traditional importing (e.g. multiple facilities, inventory, people). By buying differently, you can expect:

But what’s the real story here?Here’s where we make the most impact. With Zirks, you have the potential to realize as much as a 50% cost savings over your current way of importing.

How will that affect your gross margin? Let’s look at an example.

Customer-controlled purchase price. When you place an order, you decide how much you want to pay, based on quantity and timing. As your quantity goes up, your price goes down. To add to that, if you make an immediate ACH payment, your price will be even lower.

Shorter lead times. You can purchase and receive your order in as little as 5 days, or, at most, 5 weeks, depending on the time you make your purchase. This is a significant improvement over the typical 24-week (or more) lead time that may be affected by factory delays, import volatility, and other unforeseen complications.

Container pricing. We harness the power of factory-direct container pricing and pass these savings along to you while you purchase by the pallet. You no longer have to worry about the cost of financing imported goods, meeting minimum purchase requirements, or housing slow-moving inventory. Furthermore, our pricing doesn’t include the huge markup that other importers build into their pricing to cover the overhead of maintaining their distribution facilities.

Hassel-free importing. Zirks handles the sourcing, the factories, the relationships, the paperwork, the shipping, and all the various issues related to international importing. In doing so,

you benefit from a streamlined business model, supply chain transparency, and cost- and time-saving strategies – all contributing to your company’s success.

Continually-expanding product offerings. We pride ourselves in bringing in the most sought-after fasteners. Product selection is done based on our extensive knowledge of the fastener industry. Additionally, we actively collect feedback from our customers as to what products they’d like to see so that we can continue to regularly introduce new items for sale.
