Drop shipping

This catalog provides weights of the shippable items so you can estimate the shipping charges. Weights are to the nearest pound, rounded up; minimum weight for any item is one (1) pound. Remember to consider the weight of the box and packing materials when determining shipping costs.

Handling Fee

All orders will be assessed a 3% handling fee on total order excluding any freight charges.


Food Guarantee

Food items are perishable. Please remember to rotate your stock. We pride ourselves on getting food to you with a long shelf life. We store our foods in a climate-controlled warehouse, rotate our stock with every shipment and practice rigid pest prevention and control. We guarantee the freshest foods are delivered to you. However, we cannot guarantee the sale of food items in your store. Please order wisely and rotate stock regularly to prevent having expired foods on your shelves. This will reduce unnecessary returns and help to keep our prices low.
