Pricing Information

Yes, we only sell wholesale, business to business. All prices are listed at manufacturer published wholesale pricing unless an item is on sale.

No. As a wholesale distributor, we offer the convenience of ordering items by the piece. Some items are sold as “displays,” which means you must purchase the entire display. Often, display items also are sold individually and have a distinct item number and UPC code. If you need help finding individual items, please contact your Account Manager.

Because we sell exclusively wholesale, only approved customers can log in and view pricing.

Suggested retail should be at least 100% above wholesale price, unless the item has a MAP policy. MAP policies must be adhered to with no exceptions.

Orders

We prefer that you place all orders online; however, we also accept orders by phone, email and fax.

We strive to ship orders same-day, as long as they are received by 12:00pm PST. Regardless, all orders received by Honey’s Place are shipped within 24-48 hours.

Our goal is to ship all orders received before 12:00pm PST. If you need to make a change or cancel an existing order, please call or email your Account Manager immediately so they can make the necessary changes.

Some circumstances prevent us from making changes or cancelations, and we cannot guarantee changes or cancelations on orders that have already been submitted. We are unable to make changes to orders that have been closed or shipped.

Please note that changes made after an order is submitted may result in the delay of shipping.

Shipping Information

Honey’s Place currently offers shipping via USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL eCommerce. We strive to provide the most secure and cost-effective options to our customers.

Shipping cost and calculations are dictated by the shipping carriers. The cost depends on the density of the package, which is the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its weight. For each shipment, your charge is based on the dimensional weight or actual weight of the package — whichever is greater.

UPS, DHL eCommerce and FedEx calculate shipping cost by dimensional weight, which takes into account length, width, and height along with the weight of a package.

Yes, you can link your own shipping account to your Honey’s Place account. Please contact your Account Manager or our accounting department to set this up.

Honey’s Place works hard to get all orders processed and shipped same-day, as long as they are received by 12:00pm PST. Regardless, all orders received by Honey’s Place are shipped within 24-48 hours.

We ship using the default carrier that was selected at the time of your account set-up; however, you can change the carrier on a per-order basis via our website. If you need to change your default shipping carrier setting, please contact the accounting department or your Honey’s Place Account Manager.

Each carrier has its own policy and limits related to shipping insurance and what is automatically insured. If you would like more information on what each carrier insures, please click here. Any additional insurance is your responsibility to purchase.

All orders are shipped 100% discreetly using non-descript boxes with no identifying marks or branding.

All orders are shipped out F.O.B. San Fernando, CA. You are responsible to pay for all shipping charges associated with your order. For international customers, this includes all import duties, taxes, and fees associated with importation of goods into your country.

Returned or refused orders can be re-shipped at your expense. Orders returned again will be sent only after pre-payment. You may be subject to a 20% restocking fee and are responsible for all shipping costs on any returned or refused orders.
