Tips in Buying River Sand at Cheaper Price

• Negotiate to the supplier of river sand for the cheapest price if possible.
• If you need a high volume of river sand, then you can negotiate for the lowest price.
• If you own a truck or vehicle for transporting river sand by your own, negotiate for the lower price.
• Supply of river sand is abundant during rainy season due to the rain and floods that wash away sand to the river banks. So, keep an eye during rainy season and get the best price.
• You can also go directly to the people or person who works for quarrying sand in the river. Most of them are contracted by the sand and gravel aggregates supplier. If you can go directly to them and negotiate the price which is best for both of you, then you're lucky.
