Timing for Large
Orders
It takes from 6-8 weeks to manufacture a typical
container load of Natural Salt Lamp products,
a bit longer for Geometric shapes (Spheres, Cubes,
Pyramids etc) and customized shapes (Suns, Moons,
Hearts, Fire Bowls…use your imagination),
a bit shorter for a container filled with all
“basic” shapes. Timing is also partly
dependent on our order backlog. We can give you
a better idea of the timing of your order when
you are ready to place it with our company.
Shipping
It will then take another 3-5 weeks of transit
time from when they leave the Port of Origin.
It takes a little longer for partial container
loads (LCL) as they will need to wait for cargo
heading to the same port before they can depart.
About 10 days into transit you will receive documentation
detailing the shipping line, and specific vessel
upon which your container is crossing the seas
along with an estimated arrival date. Delivery
time to the Port nearest your warehouse is dependent
on some factors out of our control including US
labor strikes, random National Security document
review once the ship enters USA controlled waters,
Customs inspection backlogs, and final inspections
at the Port. Once the container clears Customs
it takes only a few days to deliver your container
anywhere in the Country.
All our orders are shipped FOB Point Of Origin
and you will be billed for sea shipping, insurance,
Customs clearance and inland delivery directly
by the providers of these services. We do not
profit on this part of the process but will gladly
assist you in any and all aspects of these final
steps in getting the product delivered to your
door.
Smaller Orders, Wholesale and Distributor Opportunities
If the idea of importing, or the dollar commitment
needed to enter the business at this level feels
like too big a risk, we are happy to supply you
from our warehouse stock. Single pallet loads
of under $2000 in wholesale value, can be shipped
to anywhere in the country from our Oregon facilities,
prepackaged and ready to sell to your customers
at a fair profit. We can typically fill your order
in two weeks dependent on market conditions, the
size of your order and the product assortment
you are ordering. In most cases, please note,
a direct shipment from overseas of at least $2000,
though taking a little longer to arrive, will
be a much less expensive alternative. Feel free
to discuss your options with us.
We encourage Distributors with existing sales
teams to consider adding our Natural Crystal Salt
Lamps to your assortments. They can be a fresh
new opportunity for you to increase your importance
to your customers while adding a unique product
category to what you have to offer. We are currently
seeking distribution to many Central and South
American countries.
For any of these circumstances please contact
us by email and let us know your interests: Wholesale@TheSaltOfTheEarth.com
Payment Terms: With pre-approved
credit, we require 2/3 of the total cost upon
placing your order and the balance of 1/3 upon
receipt.
