We reserve the right to change our prices at any time when we feel that this in necessary, due to rising costs in ingredients and shipping. You will be informed when this happens and we will send you a new order form.

Turn around on your order

All our products are made to order, to ensure you receive the freshest products available, to sell on to your customers. This means that Lead times from order to delivery can vary depending on the quantities you require. Most wholesale orders can be delivered within a 7 working day period, however, please note that our cold process soaps take time to cure from pouring to curing time. So large soap orders/orders may take up to 3-4 weeks to be delivered.

We suggest if you are ordering any of our cold process soap products that you order with plenty of notice to ensure you are not short of products for your customers. Also, busy times of year such as Mother’s/Father’s day and especially Christmas we can get quite busy and lead times will increase. Again, we suggest any Christmas stock is placed as early as possible allowing plenty of warning, (Our Last order date for soaps is 10th November, other products 1st December) so you don’t go short.

We will always give you an expected date of delivery for any order you place with us and do our best to get it to you on time.

MOQ and delivery

At Sheffield Skincare Company we have a minimum order quantity of £200 to be eligible to receive our wholesale prices. Higher basket totals will give a better rate when buying in bulk

This minimum order is for all our products offered at wholesale, there is no minimum order on specific products, so you can share the cost across our whole range.

Cost of delivery can vary depending on the size of your order and the final weight of the products ordered. Generally most MOQ orders incur a charge of £10 - £20 delivery costs.

We will not deliver any goods until payment has been received from you.

Ordering and payment

Currently we accept orders and payments in these ways…

  1. We can set you up with a wholesale account, where you can access our wholesale prices, order through your account and pay directly through the website. (We would prefer this method if possible)

  5. ALL ORDERS MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE UNLESS SPECIFICALLY ARRANGED OTHERWISE, this has some flexibility for long standing customers when a relationship has developed over time.

 We send all our Wholesale parcels via tracked delivery with UPS/DPD, as we have found them to be the most reliable company with the best reputation and customer service.

Please ensure that someone is at the address you provide us when the item is due for delivery and the place of delivery is safe (ie not shared corridors where public may be able to take your parcel) We cannot accept responsibility for parcels that have been signed for by someone and then not received by yourself or a trusted employee. If you don’t have a safe place to receive your goods we can arrange for them to be taken to a safe UPS pick up point.

The nature and the storage of products

Please be aware that our products are 100% natural and due to the nature of our products they need to be looked after and stored correctly, Sheffield Skincare company does not hold any responsibility for products not stored according to our guidance.

Be mindful of storage

All year round, natural products need to be stored in a cool, dry location where temperature doesn’t change repeatedly or drastically. This helps reduce the likelihood of fresh ingredients spoiling, melting and altering their molecular makeup. So please don’t store our products next to heaters or direct sources of heat. A dark cool store cupboard is best before you place them in a shop front.

We use glass and aluminium packaging as well as kraft boxes and biodegradable bags. An ideal temperature is to keep them below 25 degrees Celsius and above 5 degrees Celsius. Direct sunlight, UV rays and artificial light can impact your natural products, breaking down their consistency and creating heat in their containers, both of which can encourage the product to lose consistency and change the scent of the essential oils in the formulation

Our products are safe to be stored for up to 24 months when stored somewhere cool. The shelf life of a product, once it has been opened, will vary depending on the product this is usually 6-12 months. Each product will specify this on the labelling.

If you require dummy pots for a window display we can provide these for a small cost, ask for details if you are interested.

Samples and testers

Sheffield skincare can provide you with a tester for each wholesale product free (only with your first order) Any subsequent testers will need to be paid for by yourselves, (obviously at the wholesale rate) If this is something you wish us to provide. We do recommend you use testers as this will help to push sales by allowing people to ‘try before they buy’ Please let us know if you would like some testers with your first order, we wont send these out automatically

As discussed above our products generally have a shelf life of between 6 – 12 months when stored correctly upon opening. We recommend changing your samples/testers at least every six months to keep them fresh for your customers.

Keeping lids on your testers can keep them fresh and stop essential oils from evaporating
