Wholesale Information and Guidelines

The following information contains the requirements that shops and home studios must meet to receive a discount on our merchandise. To be sure that you qualify for a wholesale order please read all of this info carefully before calling or faxing an order. We hope you will understand that we are trying to be fair to both shops and studios as we set these new guidelines into place.


QUALIFYING REQUIREMENTS

STATE RESALE CERTIFICATE
Please provide a copy of your State Resale or State Sales Tax Certificate depending on what your state requires. To qualify for a retail shop discount you must have a retail store that keeps regular daily hours in a location other than your home. We will also need your business phone and your home phone. To qualify for a studio discount please send us a copy of your State Resale or State Sales Tax Certificate and the location of your studio.


MERCHANDISE
We do not have a catalogue. All our merchandise is listed on our website. We only discount tinware manufactured for us and patterns published by Della. All of the tinware that is marked Folk Art Tin is manufactured for us.

All other tinware listed is manufactured by others, but some of it can be discounted if you order in large numbers. When you are ready to order contact us and we can tell you what arrangements can be made.

(Please note that the 29” trees can only be packed two to a box or they would exceed the maximum length allowed by UPS and FedEx. This is important because it makes your freight more costly than the 22” trees…keep this in mind in your pricing when you order the trees). We may need to contact you and adjust the shipping charges.


WHOLESALE AND QUANTITY ORDERS
Wholesale and quantity orders must be placed well in advance. If we are out of a product it takes 90 - 120 days for us to get it to the states and for it to clear customs.

SHIPPING
We ship UPS and FedEx Ground for most of our shipments. We can use US Mail for International shipments. It is not convenient to ship US Mail so we limit these shipments. We have daily pick up with FedEx and that is our service of choice. Their prices are also less than UPS.

When you place your order please tell me if you are a business that keeps normal business hours. If not it will be shipped via UPS at residential rates. If the UPS truck delivers a package that I have shipped to your home and I listed it as a business address they will add a hefty penalty charge to my account. Since they bill me I have no control or recourse but to pay the amount they penalize me. Please be fair and tell me what type of delivery the UPS man will be making. If I am charged a penalty you will be billed for the excess freight charges.


ORDERING FOR CLASSES
Our products are imported and it takes 8 weeks minimum for the delivery of our merchandise. Try and order as early as possible so we will be sure to have the product in when you will need it. We are trying very hard to keep all the merchandise in stock, but it is not always possible to anticipate the needs of our products.
