Shim: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.55 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.10 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For shim, the drivers are sensor type, front or rear fitment, connector style, wire length, tone ring compatibility, wire gauge, relay rating, connector type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale pricing for automotive shim products is most available from brake-pad and valve-shim manufacturers, plus import marketplaces that quote FOB at tiered quantities. The main price drivers are thickness/gauge, material grade, coating, and whether the shim is a simple stamped part versus a tighter-tolerance or pre-cut/custom configuration. Realistic sourcing routes are direct OEM/ODM factories on China marketplaces for the lowest tiers, and US industrial distributors for stocked or smaller-batch alignment shims.
