I have submitted my account registration but I cannot log in?

Our minimum order is $250. Items must be ordered in full case packs – we do not break-up cases. All items are sold on a non-guaranteed basis.

Product/Inventory Questions

How can I tell if an item is in stock?
The product page will state if an item is available to order, sold out for the season, or available to backorder. You will also be able to see if an item is low in inventory. You must be logged into your wholesale account to view availability and pricing.

       Inventory Terms

  • Available: Item is in stock.
  • Low Inventory: Low quantities of the item are available.
  • For Backorder: The item is currently not in stock but is available to backorder. 
  • Sold Out For The Season: Item is sold out for the current season.

While we do our best to make sure our website reflects accurate inventory, please note that updates may be delayed due to call and/or order volume. If you would like to confirm whether a specific item is available, please contact our Customer Service team.

Please note, we do not hold orders for backordered items unless otherwise requested.

Can I be notified if an item is back in stock? 
Yes, if an item is out of stock you can request to be emailed when that item becomes available. On the full product page, you can click on the "notify me when it's available" button to input your email to be notified (not valid for items sold out for the season). 

Can I order an item in a specific color or size? 
Our products come pre-assorted unless otherwise stated. Please note, colors, designs and assortments may vary and are subject to change during the season without notice. While we try our best to ensure our product photos are as accurate as possible, please note colors may vary from your monitor. 


Shipping/Backorder Questions
 
Once my order is submitted, when will it ship?
In-stock products are generally shipped same day or next day. During peak times and/or holidays, please allow extra time for your order to be processed and shipped out. If you want your order to ship at a later date, please specify this in the "when would you like your order to be shipped out?" field at checkout. Transit time is not guaranteed and is subject to the carrier
 
How do you ship orders?
We ship via FedEx and common carrier. Smaller orders are generally shipped via FedEx and larger orders are generally shipped common carrier. Please be assured we always look for the most cost-effective and efficient way to ship any order.
 
How much will shipping be?
We ship out of Derry, NH. Shipping varies based on the size of the order and the products ordered. Shipping quotes can be provided upon request. Shipping will only be calculated for in stock items ready to ship. Backordered items are subject to their own shipping cost which will be calculated when they are ready to ship. Shipping charges are calculated as commercial address shipments. Freight is to customer dock. If any accessorial services are needed, the customer must add the services needed at checkout or let us know at the time of ordering. 
 
What are accessorial services? (see terms page for accessorial fees)
Accessorial services are additional services that trucking companies provide at the request and/or necessity of the customer/shipper for delivery of goods. This includes liftgate, appointment, inside delivery, etc. 
  • Inside Delivery: (Common Carrier/Pallet Shipments Only) The trucking company will bring your order inside the building.
  • Notification: (Common Carrier/Pallet Shipments Only) If notification is requested, the trucking company will give you a call to let you know they are on their way to deliver.
  • Appointment: (Common Carrier/Pallet Shipments Only) If an appointment is requested, the trucking company will coordinate a delivery appointment with you. Please be sure to provide us with the best phone number for them to reach you.
  • Residential Address: If your order needs to be delivered to a residentially zoned address.
  • Power Liftgate (Common Carrier/Pallet Shipments Only): The shipping company will drop the pallet onto the ground for you. Please note, if the customer does not have a dock and a liftgate is not ordered the customer is responsible for unloading their order off of the truck.

How do backorders work?
We will not hold an order with available items for backordered items, unless otherwise requested. Unless you request no backorders, any item out of stock at the time of shipment will be shipped out separately upon arrival. Please note, backorders are subject to their own freight cost which will be calculated at the time of shipping. If you would like us to notify you before we ship out any backorders, please let us know in the comments section at checkout. 


Billing/Tracking Questions

I am a new customer but at checkout it is only asking for the last four digits of my credit card?
Once an order is received from a new customer, a secure credit card authorization form will be emailed to you via DocuSign. This must be completed and returned for the order to be processed.

Why are there multiple charges on my credit card?
Once an order is released for processing, your credit card is authorized. The card authorization will include any backordered items on the order. At time of shipment, the card is charged only for the product shipped and freight total. The authorization amount should disappear from your account within a few business days.

How will I receive my invoice?
Invoices are mailed out at time of shipment. If you would prefer to receive an emailed version, please let us know in the comments section at checkout.

How can I track my order?
Your invoice will include the carrier and tracking number. Most carriers allow online tracking. Feel free to also give us a call and one of our customer service reps would be happy to track your order for you.
