How buying by the kg works
Priced per kg, by weight
Every size has a price per kg that falls as your order grows. The whole order's weight sets the price, so mixing sizes still counts. Order from 1 kg per size, in steps of 1 kg.
Trade prices for approved accounts
Wholesale prices per kg are public. Approved trade accounts also see trade-only prices where we set them, marked “Trade price” in the shop, the cart and at checkout. You always pay the lower price.
Quotes from 25 kg
Orders of 25 kg or more are priced by quote, so we can confirm stock, freight and the best price for the volume.
Shipped from Zimbabwe
Everything ships from Zimbabwe. Freight for orders by the kg is quoted and invoiced separately. Prices exclude VAT: 15.5% is added for deliveries in Zimbabwe, and exports are zero-rated. Payment is upfront.
Trade orders start at 20 kg in total.
