ORDERING
ORDERING QUALIFICATIONS
BIDKhome is a wholesale company and sells to the trade only. By submitting your order, you are verifying that you are ordering for a legitimate business and are recognized at the federal and state level to make tax-exempt purchases for the purpose of resale.
MINIMUM ORDER
There are no minimum requirements for ordering. Please note that certain items are sold by case packs. Orders under $1,000 are shipped at the actual shipping rate (determined by the carrier), which may constitute a higher-than-average percentage of total order value. Please see the shipping section for our orders over $1,000.
BACKORDERS
We strive to ship every order as one complete shipment, but sometimes that is not possible. When your order is ready to be shipped, any item not available will be placed on backorder unless instructed otherwise. All backorders will ship unless cancelled in writing by the customer.
Please note that your order will be shipped as complete as possible, but it is not suggested to request complete shipping as this may delay the delivery of your order.
SHIPPING
We understand that shipping charges play an important role in your purchasing decisions. For your convenience, the following is a transparent and standardized zonal shipping charge structure calculated as a percentage of your order total.
Simply find your zone. Then using the table below, apply the appropriate shipping percentage according to your order total.
This new shipping structure is:
- FOB Cold Spring, NY
- Valid only within the lower 48 States. Outside of this area, actual shipping rates will apply (view table below). Freight can be quoted based on a sales order and upon special request.
- Valid for both LTL and FedEx Ground shipping
- Includes all standard handling charges.
- Carried over to backorders, if any, at the rate of the initial order.
- Valid only for orders comprising more than 50% full-priced merchandise (by value).
- Orders composed of 50% or more Attic (discounted) items will be shipped at an Actual Shipping Rate value of the items.
- Customers are welcome to pick up orders at our Cold Spring, New York Warehouse with 24-hour notice and by appointment only.
Please Note:
- Your invoice will reflect separate totals for merchandise and shipping charges.
- Zones have been recalibrated and rates are slightly increased for the first time in two years due to carrier rate increases.
- Attic, sale and discounted items will be shipped at a rate assessed to the original wholesale price.
- Due to carrier requirements, pre-authorized claims for damaged or defective items must be filed within 5 business days of receipt of shipment.
- Returns of first quality merchandise are not permitted, unless the error is BIDKhome’s.
