Since they do not make anything, And don't do volume discounts I wonder if there is any way to find out who actually makes these?

Same price if I buy 10 to 10,000 is crazy.

These guys have a lot of balls....

....but it seems like you already have a good price @ $1.20...no doubt you can find cheaper prices, but also lower quality...

If you really want to know who makes them set up an account with MFG.com (if you are eligible) and put in a request for manufacture of the quantity of balls you need.

Select what countries you would to receive quotes from and submit.

In just a couple of days you will receive quotes from an assortment of qualified manufacturing facilities in the regions you specified.

Providers are rated and critiqued by customers, and interestingly the customers are rated as well.. no fake yelp or google review concerns.

I found MFG.com through CR4 (thanks!) and as of recently I'm a satisfied user.

Thanks for the help with that 911.

...and that's one way to find the manufacturers of those.

I'd recommend the site to any of you with a variety of needs in manufacturing.

You can thank me later.

If you are willing to pay a little bit more to get it tomorrow, call McMaster Carr. If you want a quality product from a name you know and trust, call someone else. I use them aplenty, but in my experience, you won't know who made it until you get it; and sometimes, not even then.

You do not buy bulk supplies from a retail operation. All they do is buy boxfuls and sell one at a time; if someone is foolish enough to buy a box full, that is just manna from heaven.

Buy 10000 and you will find the manufacturer on the packing box inclusive other details.

If you are luck they are packed in tens and you can sell the stuff for 9999 times for a profit.
