Tricks of buying Reinforcement in pcs from small scale sellers..

So I mark out three closest locations to the site where they sell reinforcements and I literally priced at the three locations but they all want to make too much profit on this because I am buying in pcs..

the one in which location is far to the site agreed with cheaper transportation rate compare to the one close by
