1. Does World Distributors, Inc. drop ship merchandise?

We will drop ship merchandise only on prepaid orders. If you would like to use a credit card, then we ask that you fill and sign a Credit Card Drop-Shipment Authorization form which is downloadable by clicking on the link. We can place your name and address as the return address if requested. 

INTERNATIONAL DROP-SHIPMENTS

We do not drop ship to international addresses or APO/FPO addresses on credit card payment. This is because all such shipments must be sent with an accompanying Invoice for Customs purposes. This could result in your customer possibly receiving the Invoice with your prices listed on it. 

The only way this could be achieved is if you send us a Mail order with a Money Order payment along with the Invoice you wish to have shipped with the merchandise. We will then mail you your Invoice and mail your customer the Invoice you sent us.

2. How many catalogs does World Distributors, Inc. publish?

World Distributors, Inc. has only one catalog that we introduce annually around the end of July. We also have supplemental flyers that we publish seasonally and aimed at target audiences.

Our main catalog has two variations: Wholesale (Item Code: "WNC"), and Retail (Item Code: "NNC"). The wholesale catalog is for our wholesale customers and it contains the wholesale as well as suggested retail prices. The retail catalog does not have our name or the wholesale prices on it, thus enabling our customers to distribute them to their own customers who only see the Suggested Retail price of the items.

We do not publish Confidential Price Lists. Our wholesale catalog acts as the Price List.
