Who May Order
For U.S.A. based customers, we will sell to you only if you have
a tax-resale number or tax-exempt number. We sell wholesale only
and do not charge sales tax. Non-U.S.A. customers must have businesses
in their home countries and must be buying for resale.
|
| Payment Terms |
|
All accounts are COD unless "net 45 day" terms
are established by us after approval of your credit application.
COD accounts require a $25 deposit for each order (which will be
deducted from the balance due UPS at the time of delivery). Alternatively,
you may leave a $50 security deposit on file, which will not be
deducted from the balance due UPS, but will permit you to fax or
e-mail your orders. The $25 or $50 checks may be company checks,
but balances due UPS must be certified checks or money orders, unless
"company check" status has been approved by us.
|
| Past-Due Balances |
|
We reserve the right to charge 1.5% per month on
any past-due balance. If your account is placed for collection due
to non-payment, attorneys' fees and collection costs will be added
to the amount owed.
|
| Prices |
|
Prices are subject to change without notice. While
we have double-checked the prices that appear here, we are not responsible
for errors. If you believe a price is incorrect, please contact
us before placing your order.
|
| Minimums and Multiples |
|
While we never require a minimum dollar amount
per item or per order, many items are sold in particular multiples.
For example, most trimmings and bandings are sold in 6 or 12 yard
multiples. Most buttons, buckles and appliques are sold by the dozen.
In the event that you want an amount different than our standard
multiple, order it with the understanding that if it is not available,
the amount will be increased to the next "standard" amount. Rhinestones,
pearls and other crystals are usually pre-packaged and sold by the
packing unit, which is determined by Swarovski and our other vendors
(for example, article 2012/5ss is sold 10 gross to a package, while
article 2012/30ss is sold 2.5 gross to a package). We never break
packages to fill an order.
|
| Discounts |
|
All of our prices are net, and for most items there
is no difference between the price of 12 pieces and the price for
1200 pieces. If you believe your order is so large that a quantity
discount is justified, please contact us prior to ordering.
For certain packaged rhinestones and rhinestone bandings, quantity
discounts are available and are already factored into the pricing
on this site. These are noted on the site where applicable. If you
have specific questions about these discounts, please contact us
|
| Sizes |
|
We have included sizes in the
item descriptions where it is possible to do so. For many items
the sizes are standard to the industry (i.e. "ss" for "stone size").
If you are not familiar with these measurements, please refer to
the size chart.
|
| Colors |
|
While we have attempted to photograph items with
perfect color clarity, it is possible that your computer display
may alter the color of an item. We are not responsible for variations
between the display and the actual item. Also, particularly in the
case of rhinestones, colors may vary slightly from lot to lot and
even within lots. The colors of rhinestones are shown in the color
chart, although not every item and size is available in all colors.
|
| Items not found on this site |
|
In addition to the thousands of items contained
on this site, we have many more items in the line. In some cases,
the item may not be listed here but is obviously available (for
example, a banding may appear as available in one, two and four
row; even if three row does not appear here, it is available because
multiple rows are cut from wider pieces). In other cases, a whole
category is available though not listed because we have close-out
quantities only and do not intend to reorder the item (although
our close-out quantities are often very large). In either case,
please note your interest on your order form, or call the sales
department with your request.
|
| Swarovski Products |
|
We are one of the few independent authorized Swarovski
wholesalers in the world (Swarovski is a registered trademark and
may not be used without the permission of D. Swarovski & Co. in
Austria). In the case of certain items, we sell previous style numbers
interchangeably with newer style numbers (for example, article 2000, 2012
and article 2028). There is no difference in quality between the
items and they may be listed either way on this site.
|
| Returns |
|
All requests to return merchandise must be made
within ten days of receipt must be authorized by us and are subject
to a 20% restocking fee. Under no circumstances will we authorize
the return of packaged rhinestones.
|
| Shipping Options |
We ship exclusively via U.P.S. You have the option
of choosing ground, third day, second day or next day service. We
ship prepaid and add the shipping charges to the cost of the shipment.
Shipping charges depend on weight and are a reflection of U.P.S.'
published rates.
You are welcome to pick up your order rather than having it shipped.
Our normal business hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.
If you are approved for net 45 terms and are located from 5th to 9th
Avenues, 35th to 40th Streets, we will deliver your order without
an extra charge if you request it. |
| International Orders |
If you are located outside the U.S.A., your order
will be filled and priced for shipment via U.P.S. International. The
price will include merchandise and shipping charges, as well as a
wire transfer fee to cover charges imposed by your bank (if your bank
charges you for all fees, you may ignore the wire transfer charge).
You must include a fax number when you place the order, because we
will fax you a pro-forma invoice and wire transfer instructions. After
our bank receives your payment in full, your order will be shipped. |
