Wick: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.002 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.001 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.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $0.002 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $0.002 |

| 10,000–24,999 units | $0.002 |

| 100,000+ units | $0.001 |
What moves the price
For wick, the drivers are material, fiber density, purity, length, compatibility — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale quotes for very similar custom absorbent cotton wicks are mainly from China-based factory listings and show strong scale pricing: one factory quote for replacement cotton wicks lists US$0.013 at 10,000-99,999 pieces and US$0.012 at 100,000+ pieces. A related car perfume cotton wick listing shows US$0.001-0.003 per piece at 10,000 pieces, which supports a lower landed-equivalent band for simple custom wicks at volume. Realistic supplier routes are OEM/ODM factories on Alibaba or Made-in-China for custom dimensions and fiber spec, while US-facing vape/candle wholesalers mainly publish finished retail or small-bulk pack pricing rather than true factory unit economics.
