Candy wholesalers can vary widely on their pricing. While the candy choices may be sweet to look at, you need to select a candy manufacturer with the lowest prices on products, shipping and packaging.

As you decide to beef up your candy stock, narrow down the favorite candy and size you want to order. Get favorite candy information from co-workers or clients. Pick a candy manufacturer that offers the majority of brands you prefer. Then, follow these steps to save your business money:

1. Perform a search on one of your favorite candy choices, then compare the prices on that selection.

2. Consider candy manufacturers that reward your business for frequent orders.

3. Be careful on pricing for healthier alternative candy options, such as sugar-free, gluten-free, kosher and low-calorie options.


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Compare prices for your favorite wholesale candy


Many wholesale candy providers will beat the lowest price you find elsewhere. Some providers even advertise competitors' prices to allow you to compare candy information.

I recommend: Browse MetroCandy.com to find discount prices. MyCandySupplier will match a lower price if you find it.

Avoid a candy wholesaler with a high minimum order amount


You want to be able to check out the quality of candy without restrictions. Order from 2 or 3 wholesalers to find the best fit for your business. Several candy manufacturers offer assortment tins if you want to sample different sweets before narrowing it down.

I recommend: Companies like BulkFoods set no minimum order. It'sAllDirect2U only requires a $10 minimum order. And for fun, Nationwide Candy lists the newest candy releases so you can be the first to try them.

Ask for reductions on frequent orders and free shipping on wholesale candy


Make sure you get a discount on recurring orders of bulk candy. Also ask for deep discounts the larger your order. Make sure to check out their shipping prices.

I recommend: CandyFavorites.com offers free shipping if you order more than their set minimum. Over that, they only charge on items not included in the promotion. Several wholesalers offer free shipping for orders higher than $200. CandyWarehouse allows you to create a register of your frequent orders to ensure discounts.
