Whether you’re placing an order that qualifies for our new Mix ‘n’ Match discount or you have a coupon code you’d like to use, Blue Buddha’s new shopping cart will be able to calculate and apply your savings as you shop – displaying them in your cart as you go along. No more waiting for refunds – you’ll get your deal right away. There is also a handy little notification that will appear at the top of your cart page letting you know when you are close to receiving a discount so you can decide if buying more now might save you more later.
This post explains more about our new discount structure.
Our new Mix ‘n’ Match discount structure is replacing our old volume discount structure and offers discounts starting at a much smaller threshold on all our metals (yes, even silver and niobium!) Depending on the pack size you purchase, you can qualify for your first discount level with only 5 packs! The overall discount levels range from 5% – 40%. For the the complete breakdown of how this discount works, visit our new Discounts page (LINK COMING SOON!!)
The best part about this new discount structure (and our new shopping cart) is that your discounts will be taken automatically as you add items to your cart and you’ll see your savings reflected right away.

As a bonus, our cart also gives you little notices at the top of the page when you are close to reaching an even higher price break point.

We are thrilled to be able to offer these new discounts and deliver your savings to you right away. No more waiting on refunds!
It is important to note that this Mix ‘n’ Match discount is also replacing the 1000-pack mix n match we previously offered on our anodized aluminum. For those of you really only purchase our AA and used this discount a lot, the new discount structure will take a little getting used to. You’ll need to purchase 5 packs of rings to receive a discount, and the discount at the level will be slightly less than our original deal. We did agonize over the decision to get rid of these Mix n Match 1000 packs knowing it would affect some customers.
Ultimately however, we realized that the including the anodized aluminum in with all our other metals would help a much larger majority of our customers reach the threshold to begin receiving discounts across the board. We also felt most people would appreciate the simplicity of having all metals Mix n Match rather than having to keep track of this kind over here and that kind over there to get the best deal.
We created the Mix n Match 1000 packs back when we were a much smaller company with vastly fewer products and it served us and our customers well for a long time. At this point though, we think this new discount structure is the way to go and we hope you agree and are able to benefit from it.
You will also notice that, for most metals, we have eliminated the 500 packs. These packs were not as popular as the 250 and 1000 packs and we thought this would help keep our discount structure more simple. It will also help our inventory assistants, allowing them to make more of our most popular pack sizes, getting them ready for your orders more quickly!
