To qualify for a wholesale account, you must meet the following requirements:
1.
You must have an established business, either online or brick &
mortar store, or both. Validity of your business will be checked. Online store startups are not accepted at this time.
2. You must be prepared to show average store volume.
3.
There will minimum order requirements for diaper products. We will offer
drop-shipping but on a very very limited basis and should not be used
as your main source of stock. Quarterly minimum volumes must be
maintained.
4. Most orders will need to be placed via purchase order
form. Because of the high cost and the long process of manufacturing
the minky diapers, we cannot realistically keep wholesale quantities of
these in stock at all times. There may be a 4-6 week lead-time on
orders, so you must be able to plan your stock needs ahead of time.
5.
If you are planning on selling our diapers, you must have extensive knowledge of cloth diapers, washing techniques,
care & use. You must know how to troubleshoot common
cloth-diapering problems.
6. You must be able to handle all customer
returns/product defect issues & replacements by yourself. Because
there is no way for us to know when and where a customer has purchased
their diapers, unless it was bought directly through us, the customer
will be redirected to the retailer they purchased the products from.
Our
goal is not to be able to get as many retailers as possible selling our
products. We are looking for highly qualified retailers that are
interested in promoting our brand, and not just adding it to their long
list of competing brands offering similar products.

following information outlines our Polices, Terms and Conditions for

selling below our minimum retail price guidelines. Any form of
discounting on the products must be approved.
EXCLUSIVE TERRITORIES
We do not provide any type of exclusive territorial agreements except for distributors.
CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE
In
order to best serve our customers, we require that all retailers have
experience in using cloth diapers and be knowledgeable about all the
products you choose to sell from our line. You will be supplied User
Guides with each order that you may pass on to your customers. Unless
products were purchased directly from us, any customer inquiry about
product usage will be redirected back to the store it was purchased
from.
RETURNS, EXCHANGES & WARRANTY ISSUES
All
products are guaranteed against snap or manufacturing defects for 90
days from the date of purchase. This covers stitching, seams, snaps,
hook & loop, and elastic. All retailers are expected to handle all
returns, exchange and warranty issues on their own. Should a customer
experience any problems with our products from manufacturing
irregularities, you are expected to replace the product for them from
your own stock. We will gladly replace all defective items as long as it is coming directly from the retailer. Please do not send your customers to contact us
about items purchased from your store. We will not replace items
purchased from retailers unless there is a known widespread problem on
the products.
