dperry Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 For the first time ever, I have made a purchase from TNT (Top Notch Toys) out in Ca. I typically buy exclusively from A&A, but I've also bought from Cardinal and Brand. I was surprised to find that their catalog is quite inexpensive compared to A&A, who I thought was the cheapest supplier around. I'd like to see a little bit more variety of capsule products, but they do have a very large, and nice selection stickers and tattoos. I'm sure I'll be buying from them again.

Can you give us an example on price? Sent using Tapatalk for Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dperry Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I wrote them down when I made the order, but I threw the paper away. I'll post the prices when I get the statement from them. But I can say that most of the 1in stuff was about $14-$16 a bag of 250, some of the stickers/tats were under $30, and I got a bag of 2in shooter and spinners for around $29. Most everything at A&A is about $18/bag for 1in, and $33/box for 2in, unless it's the licensed stuff, then it's much more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good items to get are sticky squishers, crazy yo yo are very good. Xl sticky Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havending Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 One other good thing about cei/ tnt is that they are on the west coast so you get a few more hours in the day to order vs eastern time.

Good service and fair pricing. They really work at finding you the best shipping cost, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock do you order pallets? I can have a pallet of heavy items like balls and stickys delivered for around 150. And they dont charge pallet fees either. Some companies will charge a 60.00 pallet fee. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If I remember right its was a family member of the kovens that had a bulk supply place there. But not a true AA. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Nope. It was true A&A. Just like California is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those 2 ladies at TNT are great to work with. A&A needs to care more about freight costs and get us better deals on freight. Pallets are the only way to go when ordering 10+ cases of superballs. Then all the other boxes of stuff just comes along for the ride. For me, who ever gets the superball order, also gets the other stuff as well.

I've actually ordered pallets from TNT (balls and flat), OAK (machines), and A&A (machines & product) and none ever had a pallet fee. Or at least it was never listed as a separate line item on the invoices. The freight charges are usually over $150 for me....but never over $200 or so. I don't usually pay for a liftgate but I may have once...can't remember. Either way, shipping is a killer on small orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
