Q: Can you send me product samples? |
A: Absolutely!. We will do It literally within hours. Note, that due to the volume of samples we have to send each week, freight/courier cost to overseas destinations are charged on the recipient. Don´t gimme that long face!, we promise to discount your freight expenses from the sales invoice so that you can recoup your money… Deal? :) |
Q: Do you require a minimum purchase order (MOQ)? |
A: We are very flexible: 1000 kg is the minimum purchase order for international deliveries. |
Q: Can you provide product analysis and certifications? |
A: Yes. Our latest lab analysis as well as quality certifications are there for you. Just ping me and I´ll send them right away. |
Q: Do the products run through a phytosanitary inspection prior to the shipping? |
A: Yes. All plant products such as chia seeds and quinoa are personally inspected by a USDA APHIS official at our warehouse prior to the shipping. The USDA then issues a phytosanitary certificate stating that the product is free from pests, in good condition and suitable for human consumption. |
Q: How do I know the product will get to me in good condition? |
A: Having a delivery arriving with problems, thousands of miles away it is not fun. Not for you, and definitely nor for us. So believe me we make sure every cargo is meticulously protected. How? We deliver in polypropylene bags with double layer or multilayer kraft paper bags…good luck trying to brake it Palletized cargoes are covered with 3 layers of plastic film, all around and on the top. Finally the pallet is secured with 4 plastic straps. All Full Container Loads are protected against water condensation by fully covering the interior walls and foor with a layer of corrugated cardboard and a layer of plastic film (see pictures in product description) All our cargoes carry an insurance policy against any contingency during transport …As the saying goes: Better to be safe than sorry! |
Q: What payment terms can you offer? |
A: Naturally it depends on the sales condition (Incoterm)… Let´s see: EXW Warehouse (within the USA): 100% payable before delivery. Why?: We´ve got stocks of all products offered and they are ready to go, so the lead time between the purchase order and actual delivery is extremely short. Literally within hours. FOB /FCA (overseas): 30% in advance – 70% when the cargo is ready, right before delivery. Why? The advance payment locks the deal and merchandise. Meanwhile, we make all the proper arrangements for the international delivery: book shipping turn, phytosanitay, third party inspection, etc. all of which take around 5 to 7 working days. Once the shipping turn is confirmed and cargo ready to go we will let you know and you can proceed with the balance payment :) |
Q: Would you be willing to offer commercial references? |
A: Yes, we will connect you with at least 4 of our clients or partners that can tell you about us much better than we do. |
