Disney Pin Lots

[candielips]

Does anyone know a good site to order a large lot of Disney Pins? I looked on Ebay and there are so many different sellers that it is hard to know who to order from.
Any help?
Note: They need to deliver to Canada and I need to have them prior to Jan 28.
TIA!

Here's a very helpful list in getting started.

When you look on ebay, look for power sellers. In order to get that little stamp of approval, there has to be so many international sales.


As far as shipping goes, the only guarantee is to do global express or priority shipping. If you do standard first class mail, it can take up to 60 days to get through customs. Had a few of those happen with Canadian shipping. When it reached 61 days (which is the day you can file an insurance claim) is when it's magically delivered.

If you do buy a bulk order, expect to pay a bit for the shipping charges. It's not cheap to ship fast and provide proper insurance.

Thank you for the link to that thread. I never knew that I had too do this much research to pick up some pins for my kids to trade at WDW. I think I will just stick to picking them up cheap at the outlets and trading that way.
I do not want to risk getting scammed and then being stuck with a ton of useless pins.

I've bought a few off ebay, but mostly for ones out of print.


There's also people that shop/scour their local Disney Outlet store for clearance pins. Then resell in lots of 10 for a profit. These are usually previous year dated pins, or previous event dated pins. Mostly dull or boring pins that most people want to trade away for good pins.

You could also email a buyer and ask if they'd be willing to ship to the resort. I've shipped to Disney for some one staying there. It's a little tricky, as the package will be received by a sorting center and marked on the Post Office website as delivered. Then the following day, delivered to the resort through Disney's mail service.

Just stick to small lots of like 10 pins, expecting to pay about $1-2 per pin.
