Buying Floor Tiles Wholesale: A Guide for Dealers and Distributors
Wholesale buying is a different relationship than a one-off order — pricing, credit terms and stock planning all work differently. Here's how it fits together.
How wholesale pricing tiers work
Pricing usually steps down at container-level volumes rather than per-box quantities — a dealer ordering 2-3 containers a quarter gets a meaningfully better rate than a one-off single-container buyer. Ask for the full tier table upfront rather than negotiating one order at a time; it makes planning easier on both sides.
Consolidating multiple SKUs into one container
Most dealers don't want a full container of one size and finish. We regularly consolidate floor tiles, wall tiles and sanitary ware into a single container so you can stock a broader range without over-committing to any one SKU — see our manufacturer guide for how body types affect what can ship together.
Payment and credit terms for repeat buyers
First orders are typically advance payment or a letter of credit. Once a track record builds, many exporters — us included — can offer partial credit terms on repeat orders. This is a conversation worth having explicitly rather than assuming it isn't on the table.
Building a stocking program
If you're distributing rather than project-buying, agree a rolling order schedule (e.g. one container every 6-8 weeks) rather than reordering reactively — it smooths pricing and avoids the lead-time gap between placing an order and it clearing customs.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for wholesale pricing?
Wholesale tiers typically start at container-level volumes rather than a fixed box count — ask for the tier table so you can see where the next price break is.
Can I mix floor tiles, wall tiles and sanitary ware in one container?
Yes, this is normal for dealers stocking a broader range rather than one product line. Tell us the split you want and we'll plan the load.
Do you offer credit terms for repeat orders?
First orders are usually advance payment or LC; credit terms become possible once a track record builds. Ask us directly — it's a normal conversation for repeat buyers.
