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.

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.


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 cannot ship to a Post Office box number when using UPS and FedEx.  We use US Mail for International shipments and small US shipments.   

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 which is more expensive than business 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 12 weeks minimum for the delivery of our merchandise. 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.
