Talking to some Chinese gals. They won't sell less than 25 tons of it. That's like 55,000 pounds I think. They want $1,060 a ton, which is cheap as hell, it sells for WAY more money here in the states. But that is over $25k, I don't want to cough up that much money. Anybody want to come in for halvesies or quarteries or any big amount? Let's do this guys!!!!!
Any you guys want to go in on bulk potassium nitrate buy with me?

Blowing up a bunch of foot massage parlors is not my thing
It is the Cadillac of plant/hydroponic fertilizer. It contains 2 of the 3 most critical minerals in abundant amounts. And it is fully soluble in water. In short, it is amazing as a fertilizer.
Oh, and you can make firecrackers and blow shit up with it too LOL. Awesome stump burner/remover as well.

This is the secret ingredient I add to my chicken fried steak to make it taste like a restaurant I visited.

I'll bite if shipping is free.
I asked them about shipping cost and they said its "FOB", but didn't say a destination, so I assume that is FOB to delivery at a U.S. port. i.e. shipping to U.S. port is free. Are you seriously interested?

Something tells me this is going to end up with the OP in an uncomfortably small room with an unusually large mirror where he is having a long conversation with the DHS. I'm guessing they are sifting through your financial data as we speak.
Like I said above, I think shipping is included to U.S. port. I have a buddy with a F-250 or whatever the big ones are we can take it from there.

Fiest...25 US tons is 50,000 lbs, not 55,000.
Next, your friend's F250 ain't gonna haul more than 1/4 of that...including the weight of a trailer.
Finally, F.O.B. does NOT necessarily mean freight is paid to the destination port. It could also mean you are responsible for shipping from the point of origin.

You had better get that explained BEFORE you buy.

METRIC TONS
FOB usually means that they will get it to the port and everything after that is your responsibility when getting stuff from china.

It's 25 metric tonne. And it is FOB Origin so basically you have to arrange pickup and shiping.
Op is the usual idiot.

Metric tons makes sense...since it's coming from China...but that only makes hauling it worse.
FOB origin means, nor only is he responsible for freight to the US, but also most likely, responsible for freight to the port...plus, he's also responsible for anything that happena along the way.( storm sinks the ship, cargo hold gets flooded, etc... (yes, I know, insurance...also on his dime)

He was looking for one metric tonne. Two cubic yards from local company is enough.
