Buy USB sticks in bulk and save big

I buy a lot of USB sticks. Some are for my personal use for transferring files between my desktop and my laptop or for taking files with me when I travel. Others are for my kids who have them on their school supply list—and because they seem to “misplace” them a few times each year.

I use USB sticks for business as well. In fact, one of my best (and most secret) promotions I have right now is gift pack that includes 12 of my best technology audio programs on a USB stick, 3 months of my Noobie Unplugged newsletter, 3 additional audio programs and a $20 gift certificate, all for just the cost of shipping and handling, $3.99.

As you might imagine, I have to buy a lot of USB sticks to fulfill the orders from people requesting this gift pack. Incidentally, I don’t have a product page or even an order page for this offer on my website but if you are interested in getting your hands on this secret gift offer, please contact me at [email protected].

Buy in bulk

The key to getting a good deal on USB sticks is, like anything else, to buy them in bulk. I have been hesitant in the past to do this because I bought a 12-pack on Amazon a few years ago and every one of the USB sticks was complete junk and didn’t work. I ended up returning the entire 12-pack and got a full refund but the entire experience still soured me.

But when I got in touch with ABAZAR, a different company that also sells USB sticks in bulk, a few things caught my eye about their bulk USB product. One was that the USB sticks were labeled as plug & play ready so I wouldn’t have to worry about formatting them or dealing with drives that were formatted to some foreign standard that makes it difficult to use on my PC.

Second, the drives come with a 100% manufacturer’s warranty which means you can replace them or get a refund for up to one year after you purchase them.

I’m happy to say when I plugged in one of the USB sticks from the 10-pack I purchased from ABAZAR, it worked flawlessly on the first try. I even transferred files from one computer to another to make sure it worked on both of my computers. It did.

16 GB USB sticks!

The final thing that caught my eye was the capacity of the USB sticks. Usually, bulk USB sticks come with very little storage—often 1 GB or 2 GB. Each USB stick in the 10-pack of USB sticks from ABAZAR has a 16 GB capacity! That’s more than enough to store all of your documents, certainly enough to backup most people’s photo collection, and even enough to store a handful of your favorite high definition movies.

As for price, although I received my 10-pack of USB sticks at a discount, the retail price as of this writing on Amazon.com is $36.99 for a 10-pack of 16 GB USB sticks. That works out to approximately $3.70 per USB stick—for a 16 GB USB stick! Compare that to the average price for a single USB stick on Amazon, which is $5.99, and you are saving nearly $2.30 per USB stick, or $23.00 if you buy 10 of them.

Now obviously, if you only need one USB stick, paying $5.99 is still the way to go. But if you have uses for more than one, or have friends that you can share your purchase with, a 10-pack of 16 GB USB sticks for $36.99 is still the way to go.

A few more things I like

There are a few more things I like about ABAZAR’s 10-pack of USB sticks. I like that each of the USB sticks has a swivel cover to protect the USB connector when you’re not using the USB stick. And, when you are physically reading or writing from the USB stick connected to your computer, it lights up to let you know not to pull the USB stick out.

Also, if you’re into bright colors, the 10-pack of 16 GB USB sticks from ABAZAR has you covered. They come in red, orange and blue. Or if you prefer, a more neutral black color, they have you covered there as well.
