Wholesale Policies
You (“the buyer”) must have a physical shop, with or without an online website, OR be an online-only seller with an established following to be eligible for a wholesale account and remain a reseller of my goods. Selling on third party websites (Etsy, Ebay, Amazon) and purchasing items for personal use is strictly prohibited.
ALL buyers are reviewed and vetted to ensure fit and to confirm that your shop is a legitimate business. I obtain the right to deny applications that may not be appropriate or decline orders if shops are in violation of policies outlined.
How to place an order
We have two ways to order currently:
- Receive a discount code unique to your store, this allows you to at shop at your leisure. You are restricted to online product quantities. Shipping times depend on order size, orders under 1500.00 usually ship within a week and 1600+ two weeks etc. No processing fee. Email megan@lakotamadellc.com to receive your wholesale code.
- Email megan@lakotamadellc.com and/or michael@lakotamadellc.com your order and receive an invoice from us. Once it’s paid we will begin processing your order and email confirmation will be sent along with an estimated date for shipping. No quantity limits, special requests are easier to process.

By making wholesale purchases from me, buyers agree to these policies.

Pricing
All pricing shown on my site is in US dollars. Wholesale pricing is 35% off retail prices. All products listed on our website are available to order wholesale with the exception of our herbal tonics due to their limited shelf life.
