Following a wholesale order, an invoice will be generate with a due date of 7 days from the issue date. Payment is required prior to your items being dispatched.
Meeko does not enforce any minimum order quantities (MOQs) or a minimum re-order period.
WHOLESALE PRODUCT AVAILABILITY
We may not always be able to provide products in your desired quantities. We will, however, always endeavour to make those items available to you in the requested amount as soon as we possibly can.
There may, at times, be some products, including limited edition products or certain product lines that may not be available for wholesale purchase. We reserve the right to exclude certain items or entire lines of products from wholesale.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
We kindly ask for payment of your goods up front, unless other terms of payment are negotiated at the time of your application. An invoice to be paid within 7 days by EFT, Credit Card or PayPal will be sent to your nominated email. The invoice will reflect the total amount due, including any relevant postage and the payment due date.
Orders under $700 will incur a flat rate postage fee of $30.00. Your stock will be held until the invoice due date. Once confirmation of payment is made your order will be dispatched to the nominated shipping address.
If your invoice is not paid by the due date we may cancel your order and make the stock available to other wholesale or retail customers. You are free to re-order your required stock, however, we cannot always guarantee its availability.
Repeated instances of unpaid invoices may result in the suspension or cancellation of your wholesale account with Meeko. Refer to our the CANCELLATION OF WHOLESALE ACCOUNT section of these terms for more information.

Additional fees also will apply to express postage requests.
Domestic orders will be shipped out within 1-3 days of payment notification. You will receive tracking information via email. Please allow at least 4-12 days for your order to reach you (if in Australia or New Zealand).
