Buyer FAQ
What buyers ask us first.

    What is the minimum order?Three containers per year. The minimum is set by packaging production runs, but you don’t take all three at once. You commit to the annual volume and order containers as you need them during the year.

    How do you deliver?FOB direct: you buy FOB from the manufacturer and manage your own freight and import. We import for you: we handle freight, customs and import, and deliver full containers to your DCs. U.S. stock: we import, hold safety stock in our U.S. warehouses and ship by the pallet.

    What is the lead time?The first order ships about 120 days after artwork approval, which covers packaging production and the first production run. Repeat orders take about 60 days.

    How long does a new program take from concept to shelf?Usually 8 to 12 months. That covers product development, samples, artwork, packaging production, the first run and delivery.

    Can you match a national brand?Yes. Our goal is to match or beat the national brand on quality, at a shelf price typically 15 to 20% below the category leader, depending on the category.

    Do you provide samples?Yes, at no cost. We develop as many sample rounds as it takes to get the formula right and the product approved.

    Who handles artwork and packaging?Either side can. Send us your approved artwork, or our team designs it to your private brand guidelines. Either way, we coordinate the technical work: dielines, printer specs and label compliance.

    Who is the importer of record?It depends on how you buy. If you import directly, you are the importer of record. If we import for you, we are the importer of record and responsible for FSVP compliance.

    Do you carry product liability insurance?Yes. We carry product liability coverage matched to each customer’s requirements.

    Do you support retailer-mandated audits?Yes. Our manufacturing partners hold the certifications major retailers require, and we coordinate any additional third-party or retailer QA audits. Every supplier has also been personally vetted by our President, Alberto Cohen, to make sure it meets our customers’ standards.

    How do you handle quality issues?We have never had a recall. Our manufacturing partners guarantee 100% of any quality issue, so the risk never lands on your business.

    Do you support EDI?Yes. We set up the EDI transactions each account requires, from purchase orders and ship notices to invoices.

    Do you ship direct to stores?No. We deliver to distribution centers, by the container or by the pallet from our U.S. stock.

    Do you support national and regional programs?Yes, both. Most of our programs are national.
