What is the MOQ and Lead time for the order?

Once we agree on all the details and costs, we will start preparing your order as per agreed terms. As we work with factories, forecasts are the best way for “large” business.

What are the payment methods accepted?

Our payments terms are 20% by bank transfer on pro-forma and balance 80% by bank transfer 24 hours before loading from our warehouse or before unloading the goods at customer’s place – It is possible to discuss individual terms with our Directors once your account is opened.

Which Currencies do you accept?

We accept : EUR, USD, CZK or PLN.

Do I need to order FTL of 1 product?

We can combine FTL of various items for you. For instance, road transport typically handles around 25-33 pallets (up to 24 tonnes), depending on how heavy each pallet is. We have a lot of SKUs available on the floor, but some are only to order or ordered less frequently, which can impact lead times. To keep it simple, you can order just one pallet of a product, but going for FTL with a single SKU is often the quickest and most cost-effective choice.

Why are the prices not visible?

There are quite a few reasons for this, just to highlight some :

– The pricing strategies of competitors, manufacturers, distributors…
– The global situation is constantly evolving, which means prices and availability are also fluctuating…
– There’s a big difference between ordering 1 pallet versus 500 pallets…
– It matters a lot if a product needs a sticker placed in a specific spot, whether it’s done by machine or hand, or if a new sleeve is needed, and so on…

There are many factors to be considered, but you can count on us to always aim to provide the best prices and services for our B2B partners.

Do you offer stickering/labeling service?

Yes we do, this is our area of expertise since 2015. With the operation of a large logistics center and warehouse in the heart of Europe, we are equipped with multiple labeling and repackaging lines for all the products we provide. We have the capability to label and repackage a variety of items, including cans, bottles, jars, confectionery products, chocolate bars, and bags of crisps—essentially any product you require.

We maintain an in-house department dedicated to this service, where we design labels tailored to your products. Once you approve the design, we proceed with printing. Since this process is conducted internally, it is efficient, and adjustments can be made as often as necessary. Each product, due to its unique shape and size, requires a specific sticker size, and we will recommend the most suitable option to ensure that your products present a professional appearance.

To get a correct price quotation, please go to Shipping Cart and add labelling service to your order.
