Wholesale Purchasing

Use the online Registration Page to apply for wholesale purchasing privileges. This is available under the Wholesale menu heading or by clicking the preceding link.

Wholesale purchasing is now available to qualified buyers under the following conditions:


First Purchase

You must register with the site in order to purchase wholesale. Once I have approved your registration, you will be able to order online. The minimum order for first-time buyers is $150.  There is no minimum on subsequent orders, but I reserve the right to change that policy if I need to.

You must pay for your first order before I will ship or deliver it. After that, the terms are net 30. I reserve the right to terminate a buyer’s net 30 status if they fail to pay in a timely manner.


Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions

Please review my Wholesale Terms and Conditions. These terms and conditions may change over time and as necessary in response to issues that get raised. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me for further information.

Wholesale Terms and Conditions

Minimum Order – Minimum wholesale orders are $150 for the first purchase. There is no minimum order for established wholesale customers after the first purchase.

Prices are subject to change without notice, however, I will inform you of any change prior to processing your order.

Payment Terms – New customers must prepay prior to shipping. Established customers may pay net 30 days. I reserve the right to cancel 30-day privileges for failure to pay in a timely manner.

Limitations – I will accept wholesale orders from September through April. No wholesale orders will be accepted after May 1st or before September 1st. Orders placed in April are subject to stock availability and delivery dates cannot be guaranteed. Carol Lake Studios will sell wholesale to only one business entity in a municipality. I do not grant contracts for exclusive territories. If you are buying for shops in more than one town please be sure to inform me.

Shipping – Carol Lake Studios currently ships by USPS. I can ship via UPS at customer request. It is often less expensive for larger orders. When possible, I will also deliver wholesale orders myself to purchasers within a two-hour drive from my location. This is especially true if I will be making multiple deliveries. Shipping charges will still apply in these cases.

Variations – Giftware and fine art made by Carol lake Studios are made one piece at a time by hand. As such, minor variations in size, shape, and color common to hand-crafted products are to be expected. Every effort is made to assure that all pieces sold in a set are as closely matched as possible. It is not possible to guarantee a perfect match to items you may already own.

Swap Out – All sales are final. Buyers may swap out items of equal value if desired. Swap-outs are not limited by the dates mentioned above but are subject to availability. Buyers are responsible for all shipping costs when swapping items. I will only exchange items that arrive intact. Please contact me to arrange a swap.

Warranty – Carol Lake Studios does warranty its products against manufacturing defects. However, I do reserve the right to examine pieces that may have been damaged due to such defects. I further reserve the right to determine if defects in manufacture were the cause of the damage. Every effort is made to assure that giftware and fine art leaving my shop is entirely free of defects but I cannot assume any responsibility for the manner in which items are handled after they leave my hands (with the exception of breakage during shipping – read on).

Breakage During Shipping – Check your merchandise immediately after you receive it. If you find any damage, please read and follow the instructions included with your shipment. The instructions vary depending on the carrier.
