The shipping cost for your Long Lasting split pin order depends on a few basic things: how much the package weighs, its size, where it's going, and how fast you need it.
For smaller orders within the country, standard shipping usually starts between $8 and $15. If you're sending split pins internationally, regular shipping might cost $18 to $30, while faster delivery could be $35 to $55.
For really large orders (like 10,000+ split pins), we use bigger boxes and can often get better shipping rates. Sometimes there might be extra charges for things like insurance or special packaging if you're in a humid area.
The easiest way to know the exact cost is to use a shipping calculator with your package details. We pack everything efficiently to help keep the shipping costs reasonable, whether you're ordering just a few split pins or a whole lot.
A Long Lasting split pin has a straightforward design made for locking things in place. It's basically a straight metal piece with a loop or rounded head at one end. This head stops the split pin from going all the way through a hole. The other end is split into two bendable legs.
These legs are what make it work. You push the split pin through a hole in a bolt or shaft, and then you bend the two legs apart. This keeps the split pin from falling out. They come in many sizes - the thickness can be from about 1mm to 10mm, and lengths from 10mm to 100mm, so you can find one that fits your job. The legs are made to be bent easily but still hold their shape. It's a simple, lightweight part that does its job well in machines, cars, or around the house.
