bulk orders
Quantity discount purchases
Bulk orders are purchases of goods in large quantities, typically at reduced per-unit prices.
Businesses place bulk orders to stock inventory or secure volume discounts: We get a 20% discount on bulk orders over 500 units.
The term appears in wholesale, manufacturing, and retail contexts where quantity thresholds trigger special pricing or shipping arrangements.
