Wholesale

The trade offer explained: what it costs, how the packs work, and how to apply. This is the only page in the shop that search engines are allowed to find, because it is the one meant to be discovered by shops looking for a supplier.

Alphabet photographs for shops, galleries and studios. The same prints we sell one word at a time, bought as stock and sold on however you like.

Assortment

Why the packs are balanced

A rack of letters sells the way words are spelled. You will sell far more E and A than Q and Z, and a shop that ordered evenly runs out of vowels in a fortnight and holds the rest for years.

Both packs are weighted the way letters actually occur, so what arrives is stock that turns over rather than a set that looks complete on a shelf. Choose your own once you know what your customers ask for.

FAQ

Questions

Do I need a resale certificate?

Not to buy at wholesale prices. A valid California resale certificate means we do not charge sales tax, because the tax is then yours to collect when you sell. Without one you still pay $2.85 a print — we just add sales tax, like any other sale.

Can I buy wholesale if I am not a retailer?

Get in touch with what you have in mind and we will sort it out. We work with designers, studios and people buying at volume for their own reasons.

Can I choose which photographs I get?

You choose the letters and the quantities. Which photograph of each letter we send is ours to pick, so that the spread across your order stays varied.

Are wholesale orders returnable?

No. Wholesale sales are final. We will always put right anything damaged in transit, defective, or sent in error — tell us and we will replace it.

What are the prints?

Loose 4 × 6 black-and-white photographs, one letter each, on the same stock as our retail orders. Not mounted, matted or framed — they fit any off-the-shelf 4 × 6 frame.
