Why Buying Direct From Small American Makers Matters
Nested Hex is designed and made in America by a family-owned business. We’ll be on Amazon and Walmart soon, because that’s where a lot of people shop. But if you’re reading this, here’s why buying direct is best.
Where your money goes
When a small maker sells through a big marketplace, the platform usually keeps a significant percentage of every sale as a referral or selling fee. That often comes before fulfillment, advertising, and storage costs. For a small product with a modest price, those fees can easily be larger than what the maker keeps.
When you buy direct:
- More of the sale goes to the people who made it.
- We can keep making things here, in small batches, in America.
- You still get free shipping within the US.
- Checkout is secure, handled by Stripe.
What you’re supporting
Nested Hex started as a fix for a small, everyday annoyance: precision bits that don’t fit the screwdriver you actually like using. Turning that into a patent-pending, made-in-America product takes design, testing, production, and a lot of packaging tape. Every direct order helps pay for the next batch.
From our family to yours
Thank you. Whether you’re fixing a phone, tightening your glasses, building a PC, or buying a stocking stuffer for the person who fixes everything, we’re grateful you chose a small maker.
