One of the first choices you make when starting with wholesale purchasing is: do you buy by the box or by the pallet? Both formats have their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your situation.
Buying by the box
A box is the smallest-scale purchasing format we offer. This is ideal if you want to test a new product line, have limited storage space, or as a starting reseller are not yet ready to make a large investment.
The downside is that the price per kilogram is usually somewhat higher for smaller volumes than for larger purchases, and that you will need to place new orders more frequently to meet your volume needs.
Buying by the pallet
A pallet consists of multiple boxes and is suitable for buyers with sufficient storage space and a higher sales volume. The advantage is efficiency: fewer ordering moments, less administration per kilogram, and often a more favourable overall picture in terms of shipping costs per kilogram.
Do take into account the physical space a pallet takes up (see our page information on dimensions per box) and the time needed to sort a larger quantity of mixed goods.
Our minimum order quantity
There is no fixed minimum for our regular catalogue priced per kilogram. For our Full Truck lots, such as Amazon Overstock Boxes, a minimum order quantity in boxes applies (see the product page), in exchange for a sharper price per kilogram.
