Wholesale Information

Almost every day, a request comes by e-mail for wholesale information on the products shown here on our website.  I am hoping this page may offer some information for you to consider before contacting us!

1. Samples: We Do Not Offer Free Samples.  These are original artworks, from the bottle stoppers so many people request, to the highest priced wine barrel carving.  Because of abuses in past dealings - here is how we now handle sample requests:

• Contact us by e-mail and let us know you are interested in the possible wholesale purchase of an item, along with the quantity you would be interested in.  If Tom is interested in producing the works, we will respond with a quote on the item(s) or a polite refusal.  (Remember, these are one of a kind works done by hand - not mass produced by machine.)  If we are too busy to work on your order at the time of request, please let us know if you would like us to contact you as our schedule begins to free up!
   
• If you would like a sample, please order one from our website or by phone.  You must pay for the sample and shipping up front - there is no discount on a sample.  If you decide to place the wholesale order, the sample will count as one of your items and the order price (minus shipping) will be applied to your total wholesale purchase order.

2.  Shipping Charges: I really must assume requests for shipping charges before any order is placed must be a spam letter.  Plus, we do not ship wholesale orders overseas.

3.  Credit: Yeah, Right.  We require full payment on wholesale orders before any work is started.  We do not extend credit until we have built a firm relationship - so several orders down the road when a client has been paying promptly, we may consider extending some credit.  Be aware we are not the bank - we are the artists known as starving. 

4.  Discounts: Not Mass Produced.  My works are hand crafted and carved right here in the USA.  Please do not expect import pricing because you will be disappointed.   Discounts will vary depending upon the item and quantity.  There is no magical formula.  Some items will provide a larger discount than others, but many, due to the time involved in creating them, will provide a smaller margin.  Naturally you are not bound by our retail pricing.

5.  Turn Around: Please assume 12 weeks from order placement until shipment.  If possible, we will attempt to beat that turn around.  Wholesale orders allow us a much smaller profit margin and as a result must take a back seat to retail commissions.  We want to produce a quality work for you and if we must burn the midnight oils to get the product out sooner, that can not be accomplished.  When placing your order, please inquire as to our projected shop schedule.
