Does anybody know an online store or company that sells computer parts in bulk?

Thanks

asked for bulk suppliers and pointed out that consumer shops sometimes do bulk deals but are country-limited. For someone outside those local markets the practical routes are different: authorized IT distributors (B2B), wholesalers/liquidation houses, OEM direct accounts, and trade marketplaces. Each has different paperwork, minimums, and warranty rules, so pick the channel that fits your volumes and risk tolerance.

Start with a short, practical process:

  • Define exact SKUs, target volume, and acceptable condition (new/OEM/refurb).
  • Prepare business credentials commonly requested: company name, tax ID or reseller certificate, contact info and billing address.
  • Request written quotes from several vendors. Ask explicitly for MPN/part numbers, MOQ, tiered pricing, lead times, shipping/incoterms, RMA/warranty terms, and whether items are OEM or reboxed retail.
  • Insist on a small sample or pilot order before committing large sums.

If you cannot qualify for distributor accounts, consider pooled buys, local refurbishers, or reputable liquidation dealers. When buying from third parties always verify authenticity: confirm manufacturer part numbers, ask for clear photos of labels, request serial ranges when applicable, and check the seller's trade references or business registration. Include landed cost (price + shipping + duties + VAT) in comparisons so unit price is not misleading.

Cautions: counterfeit and grey-market parts are real risks in bulk buys. Protect yourself with documented warranty terms, negotiate short inspection windows, and use payment methods that offer recourse for fraud. Quick checklist for the first outreach:

  • SKUs and target qty
  • Business/reseller docs ready
  • Ask for MPNs and sample
  • Confirm warranty/RMA policy
  • Calculate total landed cost

This approach keeps negotiations factual and helps avoid surprises when scaling a hardware purchase.

Those would probably be good if I was in the UK, but I'm not :(, lol. I guess I could just use Newegg, but if I could buy parts in bulk from a distributer that would be better (and probably cheaper per part). Thanks though.
