1.) IMPORTANT: This is sterling silver catalog #18. It REPLACES sterling silver catalogs #12 - 17. We also carry a stainless steel line of jewelry which can be found at:
www.stainlesssteeljewelrywholesale.com
, or you can call for a paper catalog.
2.) Ordering Information: Wholesale to the trade only. We must have a copy of your tax resale certificate or have your resale number on file. Orders may be phoned in Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Orders may be faxed or emailed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We prefer and encourage fax and email orders. If you prefer to phone your order in, we request that you already have it written down - style number first, then quantity. Please have ring sizes and stone selections written down as well. Take note: we do NOT carry half sizes in rings. If, however, you are interested in buying large quantities of half-sized rings, we do offer a service for this. You may order any of our ring styles in half sizes with a minimum of 50 per size. Many of our customers utilize this service for our smaller rings which they then sell as non-adjustable “360 degree” toe rings. Most orders are shipped within 24 hours. However, things get a tad hectic sometimes - especially during the holidays, and orders may take longer. PLEASE PLAN AHEAD
3.) Blank Catalog: With wholesale catalog #18, we also offer a “blank” catalog #18 for a nominal charge. This is the exact same catalog, but without any “Welman Group” information. The cost of the blank catalog is $5.00. We also have digital images available. Please call for details.
4.) Prices: The Welman Group, LLC has been in business for 27 years. From our beginning until about 2005, silver prices were essentially steady at approximately $4.50 - $5.00 an ounce. Beginning in 2005, silver (and all other precious metals) began an extraordinary rise. For purposes of consistency since our early catalogs (#12 and #13) were priced at $4.75 silver, in ensuing catalogs, we continued to price our jewelry at a base price of $4.75 an ounce. To compensate for the higher raw silver prices, we add a “surcharge” to our base wholesale prices. The current surcharge can always be found at our website (
www.wholesalesterling.com
) or by calling us (888-333-0870). We make every effort to keep our prices as low as possible, however we obviously cannot control silver prices, duty rates, or currency fluctuations (for example, the U.S. $ is VERY weak right now). Prices are subject to change without notice. We are not responsible for typographical errors.
5.) Minimum Order: There is a $100 minimum EVERY time you order. We do understand that you may occasionally wish to place smaller orders. Orders under $100.00 are subject to a $10.00 service fee. There is a $300 minimum order on international shipments. Keep in mind that you may combine a stainless steel jewelry order and a sterling silver jewelry order to reach the $100.00 minimum. Unlike our silver line, there is no surcharge on our stainless steel jewelry. An order consisting of the two lines will also be eligible to receive discounts (please see #7 on page 3 for our discount schedule).
6.) Payment Options: There are three ways to pay: COD, Credit Card, or Net 30.
1a) COD certified check or money order: Unless paying by credit card, all new customers must pay by COD certified check or money order (UPS does not accept cash). We will call you with your exact total on the day we ship your package, so you will have time to obtain a certified check or money order made out to: The Welman Group, LLC.
1b) COD company check: You must be approved for COD company check acceptance. Please contact us for an application.
Credit Card: We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club.

7.) Discounts that apply when paying COD or by credit card:
Over $500 less 5% PLEASE NOTE: For approved open accounts you
$1000 less 10% may choose net 30 terms OR have the discount, but you
$2000 less 15% will NOT receive BOTH net 30 terms and the discount.
Note: Past due accounts will be charged 1.5% interest per month. Chronically late accounts will revert to COD certified check or CC terms.
8.) Shipping: We ship by UPS and charge you exactly what they charge us. There are no extra “handling” charges except for international shipments ($10.00 additional). Insurance (required on all packages) is $2.10 on orders under $200 and $.70 per additional $100. UPS raises their rates slightly every January. Approximate shipping cost for a 1 pound box:
Ground: $7 - $10 UPS charges slightly more for residential deliveries and
Orange (3-Day): $11 - $16 up to $5.35 more for some rural areas.
Blue (2-Day): $14 - $20
Red (Overnight): $30 - $48 COD charge is $10.00.
9.) Refused Orders: The customer will be charged full shipping costs for all refused or unclaimed COD shipments that UPS returns to our office. If the package is reshipped, the customer will pay for all additional shipping. If the customer no longer wants the merchandise, they will be responsible for all original shipping charges plus a restocking fee equivalent to 10% of the value of the merchandise. In either case, the customer will be put on a credit card or prepayment basis. Refused orders that have been filled but not yet shipped are also subject to a 10% restocking fee.
10.) Bounced Checks: There is a $20.00 charge for all bounced checks. Customers who bounce checks will be put on COD certified check or credit card terms. Bounced checks or net 30 balances that go unpaid will be turned over for collection, and the customer will be responsible for all collection costs and legal fees.
11.) Back Orders: No Back Orders.
12.) Defective Merchandise: If you receive any defective jewelry, call our office for a return authorization number (RA#) within 10 days of receipt. Include the RA# in a note explaining the specific problem. Please pack the jewelry carefully in a small box or bubble envelope and put the RA# on the package. Do not send jewelry in a regular envelope. Packages without valid RA#s will NOT be accepted. We only exchange defective pieces for the exact same item. If you do not wish to have it replaced, we will issue you a credit. Any return unaccompanied by a note will be issued a credit to your account.
13.) Environment: We make every attempt to reuse and recycle and would encourage you to do the same. On a similar note, if you are receiving duplicate catalogs or would like to be removed from our mailing list, please let us know.
