SHIPPING
US SHIPPING
We do not estimate shipping costs. We ship from Sunrise, FL 33351 and typically use FedEx Ground.
Ground Shipments
Ground Shipments will be sent via FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery or FedEx Freight*. The shipping charges will be added to your invoice. Please advise us if the address we are shipping to is a commercial or residential address as this effects the shipping charges.
If you have a FedEx account number you would like to use, please provide this number to us when placing your order.
In addition to the freight charges, handling charges will be incurred. Handling charges are $6.00 for the first carton and $4.00 for each additional carton.
Air Shipments
Air Shipments will be sent via FedEx. There are 4 different services available: FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx Standard Overnight, FedEx 2 Day and FedEx Express Saver. FedEx Priority Overnight is the most costly and FedEx Express Saver is the least costly. If you require a shipment via FedEx Air, please be advised that you will incur a handling charge of 2% of your total invoice, plus a $75.00 Document Prep Fee for the shipment of dangerous goods if we are shipping nail polish. Nail polish is considered a dangerous good because it is a flammable liquid. We do not recommend shipping by air unless absolutely necessary due to the costs involved. The nail polish products that ship by air are considered a Class 9, ID8000 Consumer Commodity dangerous good.
FedEx Freight
FedEx Freight For orders that contain 8 or more cartons, we will compare the cost of shipping via FedEx Ground or FedEx Freight. It has been our experience that FedEx Freight will be the most cost effective way to ship. If we ship via FedEx Freight, we will add the freight charges to your invoice, along with a $30.00 handling charge. You will need to advise us if we need a liftgate, inside delivery, or a delivery appointment. All bulk shipments of nail polish (5 gallon pails, 30 gallon drums & 55 gallon drums) will ship via FedEx Freight. Bulk shipments are considered a Class 3, UN1263, PGII Paint Related Material, which is flammable.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
All customers outside of the U.S.A. must provide us with the name of a freight forwarder to handle their shipment.
Please note, the only option for International Shipments is via a freight forwarder of your choice. A $75.00 fee will be applied for Dangerous Goods (DG) documentation prepared by us.
Shipments of samples only, may be sent via FedEx on our account and we will invoice you for the shipping charges. Sample orders to Canada have the option of going by ground, economy or prior¬ity, the last two being by air. You may also provide us with your credit card information to pay for these shipments.
*Please be sure to let us know if the address we are shipping to is a residence or business as there are different fees for these locations.
Information for International Customers
Every country has its own regulations about importing nail enamel. Please contact the local Customs authorities in your country to make sure that you are allowed to import nail enamel made in the USA into your country. Get information on what you can expect in terms of customs duties (taxes), and find out if your country requires special documents. Ask whether you must register the products before you buy from us. Your Customs authorities may request special documents such as: a “Certificate of Free Sale”; a “Certificate of Origin”’; a “Commercial Invoice”, or an ingredients list, etc.
It is vital that you find out all your country’s requirements, so that your shipment is not held up in Customs or returned to us as undeliverable. We can provide many of these documents free of charge to you, but some countries require documents to be signed and sealed by their our country’s consulate in the United States. If this is the case, we will let you know what the charges are for this service.
Nail enamel (polish) is flammable, therefore when shipped, it is considered a “dangerous good.” This means that shippers must have special documents prepared for this type of shipment. We charge $75.00 for the preparation of these documents, which are required every time we ship internationally (unless it is a small quantity of samples).
We will ship color samples to you using our own FedEx account, and will charge you the shipping rate. However, when it comes time for you to place a regular Private Label order, you must have either an account with FedEx, or you must use the services of a “freight forwarder.”
A “freight forwarding company” will pick up your shipment from us and arrange to have the goods delivered to your door. At your request, a freight forwarder can ship via air or sea.
Freight forwarders need to know what you are shipping, where you are shipping from and to, how many boxes (cartons) you are shipping, the total weight of the shipment, and the dimensions of your packages in order to give you pricing.
If you select a freight forwarder, you will become their customer (we are not their customer). Pricing and all other details are to be arranged between the freight forwarder and you. We will provide that company with the information on your shipment and will arrange an appointment to have your order picked up from our facility.
We recommend a particular freight forwarding company because many of our customers have been using this company for many years, but you are free to find any company that suits your needs.
It is also important to find out general regulations for nail enamel in your country: Are you required to have the country of origin on the bottle (“Made in USA”)? Must you have the ingredients on the bottle? Etc.
We accept the following payment forms: Credit Card; Bank/Wire Transfer; PayPal. Please note that wire transfers incur charges from your bank; make sure you ask what those charges are before you use this method of payment.
We want to make ordering and receiving your nail enamel, nail treatments, and cosmetics as easy as possible for you, so please ask us for help should you need it.
