Wholesale Program

• Wholesale Discount: Walnut Studiolo can fulfill large quantity orders with discounted prices to bicycle clubs and accepted vendors. Walnut Studiolo is a small, handcraft workshop that provides high-quality, hand-tooled, and unique designs. This means that we cannot provide progressively deeper discounts for larger orders, because we still have to make them all, by hand. Not all of our products are eligible for wholesale discounts, including website combo specials, so please read our Line List carefully. Our products that are eligible for wholesale are available for a 50% discount with a minimum purchase. Wholesale discounts are non-negotiable. They are calculated on the amount of materials and labor required for each item.  
• Wholesale Products:Web-specials and discounted combo pricing are not eligible for wholesale discounts. Some products, such as the Blueprint Tube, are not available for wholesale due to its labor-intensive hand-stitching process. Eligible products and prices are listed in the LINE LIST.
• Catalog: To request a Retailer Kit in the mail, please fill out this form HERE. 
• Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ):To qualify for wholesale pricing as a retail store, accepted wholesale vendors must submit first orders of a minimum $300 of our consumer goods (after discount) and no less than 3 of any one item (mixtures of color for each item are okay - for example, 3 pairs of city grips, 1 each of a different color).
  • For our Drawer Pulls / Interiors collection, please see our Design Trade Program.
  • For Amazon distributors and resellers, a different MOQ may apply; please contact us for details. 
• Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP): Our MSRP is the price for our products on our website, available on each product page. We reserve the right to change the MSRP at our discretion. We generally revisit our pricing annually during 1Q. Please sign up for our wholesale newsletter if you'd like to be kept informed. 
• Minimum Advertised Price (MAP): At no time may wholesale vendors, distributors, or resellers sell our products lower than a 20% discount of MSRP. 
• Application Process: Walnut Studiolo requires new interested vendors to complete a short online application form prior to their first order. The application form is a Google form located HERE. We will contact you after receiving your application and notify, within 2 business days, whether you have been accepted.
• Acceptance: Please note that we have enacted the following guidelines for accepting vendors:
  • Walnut Studiolo will exercise its discretion in accepting vendors. Completion of the application form is not a guarantee of acceptance. 
  • Being an accepted vendor is not a guarantee that we can fulfill all orders, depending on workload and current turnaround time. We will let you know as soon as possible if we cannot.
  • Walnut Studiolo encourages all brick & mortar vendors to apply. Conversely, it is highly selective of fellow internet-based vendors. 
• Lead Time and Stock Quantity:It depends on your order! In the Line List, we have a column indicating turnaround time as "Fast, Medium, or Slow" - generally this indicates how regularly and how fast we make batches of each product, and it is a reflection mostly of the amount of labor time and hand-stitching involved with each product. We keep a small stock of most of our items. If we have it in stock, we can turn it around in 1-3 business days. Small out-of-stock quantities can be turned around in 1-2 weeks. Large quantities are made to order. For large wholesale orders, we require a lead time of approximately one month, more or less, depending on our current work queue. We can provide an estimate or information on inventory for you if you have specific questions, just email us at walnut.b2b@gmail.com.
• Samples:As the maker of handcrafted items using an expensive material, we do not provide free samples. If you would like to put in a sample order as an accepted vendor, we will extend the wholesale discounts to your sample order. 
• Blackout Times: Walnut Studiolo will only accept wholesale orders between January 1-October 15 due to the busy holiday online shopping season. Please put in your holiday orders early! 
• Packaging:In the Line List, we have a column indicating which products come with retail packaging included.  
• Hang Tags:We can provide one branded hangtag per product in each order upon request. To order additional hangtags, please email us at walnut.b2b@gmail.com. 
• UPC/EAN Bar Codes: Yes! We have registered UPC/EAN bar codes but we do not provide bar code stickers. UPC/EAN codes are listed as a column in our Line List. 
• Product Specs:More information about our products, including shipping weight and dimensions, can be found in the Line List.  
• Shipping: We can ship with regular post using the US Postal Service, FedEx domestically, or DHL Express internationally. We are able to ship using your preferred carrier's account number if you prefer. Please let us know of any deadlines so we can recommend the best shipping service. We can provide an exact shipping estimate once we have an order. We cannot offer free shipping on wholesale orders, regardless of size. 
• Dropshipping and Fulfillment Centers. We do not dropship. We do not provide packaging, labeling, and shipping services for fulfillment centers. 
• Payment Terms:Walnut Studiolo requires payment in full prior to beginning work. 
  
• Methods of Payment: Shopify invoice with multiple online payment methods are provided and preferred. Checks and wire transfers may be accepted, but with a 10-day waiting period to ensure the payment clears prior to the order being sent. 
• Wholesale Program: This wholesale program and pricing are evolving and will be reviewed and revised from time to time, at least every January and every time a new product is launched. Please sign up for our wholesale news list if you'd like to be kept informed.
