One of the fastest growing segments in the global industry is the trade in children's goods. One of the main reasons for this is the opportunity for retailers to work directly with wholesalers to fill their store with a variety of quality and modern children's goods at affordable prices.
How does children's wholesaler work?
The wholesaler who sells children's goods in wholesale (clothes, toys, furniture, etc.) is usually a trading company. In order to be able to offer retailers the goods they need to load stores (offline or online), they enter into agreements with several large distribution companies or work directly with manufacturers.
By concluding these agreements, the trader gets the right to import children's goods, store them, and work directly with companies (children's goods stores, distributors, etc.) that sell such goods to the end user.
Generally speaking, the wholesaler of children's goods plays the role of intermediary between the manufacturer and the retailer. This mediating role is extremely important as it benefits all parties.
It benefits the manufacturer of children's goods, who does not have to work directly with thousands of stores offering children's goods, but only with one trader who acts as an intermediary. Thus, a number of obligations such as logistics and distribution, constant negotiation and others are eliminated for him, as all this is taken over by one company (the wholesaler).
Retailers are also satisfied, as they do not have to look for different channels to buy the children's goods they need, nor to buy and store goods in large quantities. The biggest benefit for them, however, is that when shopping from wholesalers, they take advantage of discounts on the price of items and can offer the end customer a variety of children's goods at decent prices.
How to buy children's goods from a wholesaler?
You find your merchant
If you have a store, whether physical or electronic, that offers children's goods, then you need a wholesaler. To find your wholesaler, look at at least a few wholesale companies, get to know their terms and the prices at which they offer goods and products for children.
Look for additional information on the Internet, make sure that the trader is correct and there are no negative comments about his activity from other users. Then choose your wholesaler.
You register as a retailer
In order to be able to shop wholesale and take advantage of price discounts, you must register as a retailer in the online platform of the wholesaler (seller). Registration does not take much time, but it is important to know that in order to be successful you need to register with your company data.
You get access to the full list of children's goods and their wholesale prices
After registering with the selected retailer, you get full access to the catalog with its stocks, item codes and wholesale prices at which they are offered.
You choose the goods you want to buy and place an order
The standards and practices adopted by wholesalers in buying and selling are generally the following:
Preparing an order
As a retailer (buyer), you choose the children's goods you want to buy for your store and place an order with the wholesaler. You can place the order through the merchant's website or through a completed form to send to his e-mail. It is possible to place the order directly on the spot in the showroom of the merchant.
In your order you must specify the code, type, quantity of children's goods you want to buy. Keep in mind that each wholesaler has their own conditions for purchasing a minimum number of children's goods. Therefore, our advice is to read the General Terms and Conditions of Wholesale offered by your chosen seller (wholesaler) before placing your order.
Method of payment
Usually the ways in which you can pay are two - payment in full after confirmation of the order and conclusion of the contract or deferred payment (payment within a certain period after delivery of the goods).
Signing a contract
In order to carry out a purchase - sale under the legal norms established in our country, it is mandatory to conclude a contract between the two parties. Therefore, before making a transaction, you as a buyer must get acquainted with and accept the General Terms and Conditions of the wholesaler (Article 298, paragraph 1 of the Commercial Law). The contract for the sale of children's goods is considered valid at the moment you as a buyer confirm your order.
Delivery
After concluding the contract, the wholesaler undertakes delivery to the buyer the goods he has purchased within a certain period of time. The sellers deliver the order in different terms, described in the General terms and conditions, but in general, most wholesalers in our country set deadlines between 1 - 3 and 10 days for delivery of available goods. Delivery is made by courier companies that deliver the order to the retailer's warehouse.
Questions that most often concern retailers

What is the minimum number of children's goods that can be purchased by a wholesaler?
As mentioned above, each wholesaler has their own conditions for a minimum number and a minimum order value. There are merchants who have requirements for a certain minimum amount when ordering wholesale.
Others have requirements for a minimum quantity of goods that you must purchase. To find out the minimum number of children's goods that you can buy from your wholesaler, you should contact him directly to get the most accurate information.

When purchasing goods that are available in the warehouse of the wholesaler, its delivery is made by the seller within 3 to 10 days from the conclusion of the contract. Delivery is made by the wholesaler through a delivery company (courier). The goods are delivered directly to the warehouse of the retailer and upon receipt, the buyer receives an invoice for the delivery and payment in accordance with the contract concluded between the two parties.

When ordering children's goods above a certain value, the costs of its delivery are borne by the wholesaler. In other words, you as a buyer will not pay for transportation.

Other retailers bear the costs for orders over BGN 300, and there are some that guarantee buyers free delivery for an order worth BGN 600.
