Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

What shipping options do you offer?

As a standard we send out orders with express air freight shipping, DAP, which takes from 3 days up.  Shipping times depend on country so please speak to your account manager if you need a clearer estimate of shipping times to your location. If you would like to discuss other shipping options please contact your account manager.

We distribute your products from our warehouses in Thailand, Netherlands and United States depending on your location.

How much does shipping cost?

We offer free express shipping on all orders over $2,000 USD. For orders under $2,000 USD the shipping costs will be shown, based on your location, at checkout. We work hard with our logistics partner to ensure we have the best possible rates for our customers.

Who do I contact if I have a shipping problem?

Please contact orders@superbee.me

Are import duties and VAT included in the shipping cost?

– No, import duties and VAT are not included in the cost of shipping. If the customs officer chooses to randomly charge your products, the import duty is 3-6 % as per our HS code: 6305.1.
– You may be additionally charged your country’s version of VAT/GST/MWST, which should be tax deductible when doing your tax return. Not all countries will charge this. The best thing to do is contact your local customs office, or work with a custom’s agent.
– We are not responsible for any extra storage charges and fees for late pick-up of shipments at their destination.
– If you are based in a country with strict import procedures we recommend you work with a local customs agent to speed up the process.

What if my products are damaged in transit?

We do our best to pack all your orders securely so damaged items are very rare. However, if any of your products are damaged in transit please take photos of the box and any damage to the products and send them to orders@superbee.me. We will send you replacements as soon as possible. We need the photographs and precise number of damaged products for the insurance claim.

Ordering Process

I have a special request, can you help?

Your regional account manager will be happy to discuss any special requests with you.

How long will it take you to prepare and ship my order?

Production times will depend on the size and complexity of your order, but we try to dispatch all smaller orders within 5 working days. If you need an order urgently please contact your regional account manager who will do their best to meet your deadlines.

Payment

What payment options do you offer?

You can pay by bank transfer, credit card or PayPal.

What payment terms do you offer?

All orders should be paid for before they can be dispatched. If you have any questions about payment terms please contact your regional account manager.

Are there any other fees or charges?

We charge a 2.5% fee for any transactions made via PayPal but we do not charge for any other payment methods, so where possible we recommend paying via credit card or bank transfer.  We charge this fee because PayPal charges us 3 – 6%, plus currency conversion fees, depending on your country.  As their fees are so high we need to split them, with you, our customers. Thank you for your understanding.

Returns

If any of your customers have quality issues with our products please send us photos and details of the issue and we will investigate and replace the faulty products.

Because of the high margins we offer to you, our wholesale partners, we are unable to accept the return of wholesale products. The shipping and bank fees do not make it viable. Our goal is to make sure our wholesale products are affordable and effective so you can help to get plastic alternatives out to the global market.
