• WHAT IS WHOLESALE FEEDERS?
  • We are a company set up to offer the best pricing on new, used and rebuilt feeding equipment and related products. The equipment can be used in automation, part feeding, conveying, bulk feeding, weighing, counting, packaging, and secondary operations, etc.
•  
  
• WHY DO WE OFFER THE BEST PRICING?
  • 1) Since all of our offerings are paid for 'up front', we're able to offer the very best deals on feeding equipment. There are no losses due to bankruptcy, failure to pay, or the expense of carrying slow payers. This removes the risk for us and allows serious buyers to get the best deals available.
    
    2) We search high and low for the best bargains in used automation equipment. For several years, the U.S. manufacturing sector has lost large quantities of jobs and capacity, which makes it a 'buyer's market' for those with the capital to invest. If we can make a reasonable profit on a deal, it's a win-win situation.
    
    3) Since we offer our suppliers full payment, along with purchasing in volume quantities, we're also able to offer the best pricing on new equipment from suppliers you may already know and work with.

    2) What you're looking at is in stock (if it's used) or will have a ship date shown (if it's new). Our items are 'off-the shelf', so lead time is reduced drastically, and guesswork is eliminated!
    
    3) There is no need to buy in large volumes, you can buy one or two items, if that's all you need, and still pay the best price anywhere. Of coarse we'll gladly entertain larger orders at your request.
    
    4) Shipping costs are lower because we ship from our location in Illinois, not from Asia or even Mexico. You may even be able to save extra money by using vendors like Freightquote.com (you may choose your preferred method of shipping).
