You need to protect your margins while still giving your retailers a fair shake.

This is the total, per-unit cost of a product ready to be sold, including all the hidden expenses that will eat away at your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For home and living, your landed cost must include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Product Itself<\/strong>: The cost of materials, labor, and assembly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protective Packaging<\/strong>: The cost of inner and master cartons, corner guards, and foam. This is non-negotiable for fragile goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inserts<\/strong>: The cost of things like hardware bags and instruction manuals for flat-pack furniture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inbound Freight &amp; Duties<\/strong>: The cost to get the goods to your warehouse, including import duties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DIM-Weight Surcharges<\/strong>: For bulky but light items like lampshades and pillows, carriers charge based on the size of the box, not the weight. This can destroy your margins if you don&#8217;t account for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>3PL &amp; Palletization Fees<\/strong>: The costs for a third-party logistics provider to receive, store, and pick\/pack your goods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Damage\/Returns Allowance<\/strong>: This is a non-negotiable line item. Budget for a<strong> 1\u20133% allowance<\/strong> on decor and a <strong>3\u20135% allowance<\/strong> for fragile items like stoneware and glass to cover inevitable breakage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Example: A Set of 4 Stoneware Mugs<\/strong> <br>Let&#8217;s say your product costs are <strong>$8.10<\/strong>. You need to add $0.50 for foam, $0.35 for the master carton, and $1.20 for freight and duties. Then, factor in $0.55 for 3PL and a <strong>damage allowance of 3%<\/strong> ($0.32). After a small allowance for operations, your <strong>true landed cost is $11.20<\/strong>.

You can allow buyers to mix and match colors within a case.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lighting<\/strong>: Ship 1 unit per master carton, with an MOQ of 4\u20136 master cartons across a collection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use <strong>assortment codes<\/strong> (e.g., \u201cCushion\u2014Neutrals 6-pack\u201d) to make ordering mixed variants simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='tiered-discounts-that-are-logical'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tiered Discounts That Are Logical<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Discounts should never feel random. They should be tied directly to a real logistical win for you, like a full case, half-pallet, or pallet. Don\u2019t offer a total discount past <strong>10\u201312%<\/strong> unless the savings from palletization are significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Example: Stoneware Mugs (MSRP $40, Wholesale $20, Landed $11.20)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><strong>Tier 1 (MOQ)<\/strong>: 12 sets (2 cases) at <strong>$20.00<\/strong>.

Wholesale Pricing for Home and Living Stores<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For home and living brands, running a successful wholesale program means protecting your margins from the thousand tiny cuts that come with shipping fragile and bulky goods. This guide helps you do just that. It walks you through how to build your prices from the ground up, factoring in critical costs like breakage and dimensional weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We then show you how to structure your catalogue with easy-to-ship case packs, simple tiered discounts, and clear policies for freight and damages. By supporting your retail partners with the visuals they need and setting up a clean Shopify system, you can build a wholesale channel that is both profitable and painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='frequently-asked-questions'  id=\"boomdevs_11\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755154495658\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='why-does-dim-weight-matter-for-my-business'  id=\"boomdevs_12\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Why does DIM weight matter for my business?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>DIM (Dimensional) weight is a hidden cost that can really catch you off guard. Basically, a carrier will charge you for either a package&#8217;s actual weight or its &#8220;DIM weight&#8221;\u2014whichever is higher. For bulky but light items like pillows or big lampshades, the cost is almost always based on size, not weight. If you&#8217;re not factoring that into your landed cost, your shipping expenses can easily wipe out your entire profit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755155316194\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='what-s-the-best-way-to-handle-a-damage-claim-on-fragile-items'  id=\"boomdevs_13\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What&#8217;s the best way to handle a damage claim on fragile items?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The most important thing is to have a clear process that makes it easy for your buyers. Ask them to report any damage within a few business days with a photo of the item and the packaging it came in. This gives you what you need to file a claim with your carrier. As for the solution, it&#8217;s best to handle it in this order: try to send a replacement, then offer a credit, and a refund should always be your last resort.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755155354000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='what-s-the-best-way-to-handle-freight-costs-for-bulky-items'  id=\"boomdevs_14\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What&#8217;s the best way to handle freight costs for bulky items?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For small, dense items, you can use a flat rate. For large, bulky items like furniture, it&#8217;s often best to use an <strong>FOB origin<\/strong> policy, where the buyer arranges their own pickup. For everything in between, a <strong>prepaid freight threshold<\/strong> (e.g., free shipping on orders over $1,200) is a great way to incentivize larger orders.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755155360625\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='should-i-offer-different-pricing-to-different-types-of-customers'  id=\"boomdevs_15\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Should I offer different pricing to different types of customers?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Absolutely. You can create different pricing tiers for different types of customers (e.g., standard retailers, interior designers, distributors). On Shopify Plus, you can do this with native B2B price lists. On a standard plan, apps can handle this by tagging customers.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755155371846\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='how-do-i-calculate-a-damage-allowance-in-my-landed-cost'  id=\"boomdevs_16\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>How do I calculate a &#8220;damage allowance&#8221; in my landed cost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The damage allowance is a small percentage you add to your landed cost to cover the cost of replacing damaged goods. For textiles and decor, a 1\u20133% allowance is standard. For fragile items like glass and stoneware, you should budget a higher 3\u20135% allowance. This money acts as a buffer so that one broken item doesn&#8217;t eat into your profit.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1755155390549\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 id='what-s-the-difference-between-a-case-pack-and-an-moq'  id=\"boomdevs_17\" class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What&#8217;s the difference between a case pack and an MOQ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A <strong>case pack<\/strong> is the number of units that come in a single shipping carton (e.g., 4 mugs in a case pack). The <strong>MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity)<\/strong> is the smallest number of units a buyer can purchase from you (e.g., 2 case packs, or 8 mugs).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re in the home and living space, you know that shipping a beautiful ceramic vase is nothing like shipping a t-shirt.
