It's been awhile since I've posted here, but I'm having a problem finding a good to decent source for stone bisque tiles for a variety of projects. I'm most interested in 3 3/4" square tiles. The sources I've found via the web have all come up to be cost prohibitive, with a shipping surcharge that is trough the roof.
Home Depot, forget it. Lowes, I found some good blanks there, but not the 3 3/4. Still, with that said, buying in bulk is still expensive for a decent profit to ensue.
Online stores that deal in wedding/party favors have stone blanks for under .50 when buying in bulk, but their shipping is outrageous.
Alibaba is a great source, however, a slow turn around, and the loop holes you must go through in order to get to them.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
