Ordering process
Is there a minimum order value (MOV)?
Yes — the MOV is € 1.000 net per order. Each brand also has minimum purchase quantities (master pack sizes) — you'll see these on the relevant product page.
Can I order samples?
For many brands, yes. Just message your account manager — we'll coordinate it with the manufacturer.
Can I change an order after placing it?
As long as the order hasn't entered the picking run (usually a 24h window), we're happy to adjust quantities or addresses.
Prices & terms
How are prices tiered?
All prices are net and refer to the master pack. Volume discounts vary by brand — you'll see the relevant tiers on the product page.
What margins can I expect?
For most brands, you can calculate retail prices at 2,2× to 2,8× of the purchase price. We actively track RRP violations.
Shipping & delivery
Who delivers the orders?
Standard shipping with DHL (tracking + insurance). Express: FedEx and UPS, depending on the destination country. Freight forwarding from 8 master packs.
How long does delivery take?
DACH 1–3 working days · EU 2–5 working days · UK 3–7 working days (incl. SCPN customs clearance).
Payment & invoicing
What payment options are available?
Prepayment / SEPA transfer (2 % early-payment discount within 7 days), invoice at 14 days (from your 2nd order) or SEPA direct debit.
Will I receive an invoice with a VAT number?
Yes. Intra-Community supplies with a valid VAT number are exempt from VAT. The invoice accompanies the shipment as a PDF and is also sent by email.
Compliance & Regulatory
Are the products CPNP- and SCPN-compliant?
Every product has CPNP notification (EU) and SCPN notification (UK). CPSR and SDS are available on request.
Marketing assets

Returns & complaints
What to do about transport damage?
Photograph everything immediately (packaging + damaged goods) and email it to your account manager. We'll arrange a replacement or credit note.
What about expiry dates?
As a rule, we deliver with at least 18 months' remaining shelf life. We'll let you know in advance about shorter best-before dates.
