Frequently Asked Questions: Pricing And Payment
Are there fees associated with adding my logo on the bikinis?
In addition to the 10% added to private label orders, there are no additional fees unless you prefer more elaborate labels such as embroidered ones rather than printed logos or multi-color swing tags. The additional fees are minor and would just add about $1 or $2 more to the final price of the bikini.
Could you give me wholesale prices and suggested Retail?
Wholesale prices are published on our order form which we share in our general introduction email. The general rule is to resell bikinis for at least twice the amount you paid for.
