Whether the notches and bolts come with the equipment depends entirely on the equipment you're buying. Check the product description/specifications

This is the most important step. The description should clearly state what's included. Look for keywords like "hardware included," "assembly required," or a detailed list of parts.

Look at the images

Sometimes the images show the hardware included with the item.

Contact the seller/manufacturer

If the description is unclear, contact the seller or manufacturer directly. They can give you a definitive answer.

Consider the type of equipment

Certain types of equipment are more likely to include hardware than others. For example, a large piece of furniture designed for self-assembly will almost always include the necessary hardware. A simple, single-piece item is unlikely to include bolts.*

Read reviews: If available, read customer reviews. Other customers may have commented on whether hardware was included or not. Flag for review
