3. EMPIRE DISTRIBUTION USA

Empire Distribution USA (Empire Wholesale & Distribution Inc.) is established as a wholesale and distribution company. Our area of expertise encompasses the marketing of a wide range of products, generally in large quantities, to both independent sellers and corporations. The company's operations are centered on digital platforms, which reflects our commitment to operational efficiency and a prompt response to our customers' requests and needs.
Our product portfolio is extensive and diversified, including, but not limited to, items such as nutritional supplements, vitamins and a variety of high-demand consumer goods. We manage a substantial inventory, which leads us to face challenges inherent to efficient inventory management, such as tight control of expiration dates and optimizing logistics throughout the supply chain.
Empire Distribution USA is distinguished by its focus on quality of service, ensuring that each product offered meets the required quality and safety standards, while guaranteeing the satisfaction and fulfillment of our customers' expectations. Our goal is to be a reliable partner in the supply chain of our customers, providing comprehensive solutions in wholesale distribution and contributing to the success and growth of their business.

 

4. PRODUCTS IN STOCK

The vast majority of the merchandise we offer to customers is in stock and in our warehouse, however, we sometimes offer products that we do not carry or that are coming into our warehouse. Unless otherwise stated, Empire Distribution does not claim to have merchandise in stock. Empire Distribution USA will allow a reasonable period of time to process and ship all orders. This does not include any lead time that may be given to you via email, Telegram or verbally. Empire Distribution USA reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order placed by the customer for any reason.

 

5. ORDERS

Empire Distribution USA is a B2B wholesale website. Empire Distribution USA only sells to retailers and charities that have FEIN/Tax ID and can provide a seller's permit (if applicable). For the purpose of purchasing our wholesale products, users or prospective customers must register and complete all required fields during registration. All requests are reviewed within one business day and the response will be sent to the user's email address. Please note that no orders will be processed without user registration or a valid seller's permit.
By placing an order, you offer to purchase the products for the price advertised and indicated on the website at the time of placing the order. Please check the prices, features and variants of the products before placing the order.

Purchase orders, emails, verbal or Telegram messages are legally binding agreements to purchase merchandise. CANCELLATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. By placing an order, the buyer agrees and warrants that they are purchasing the merchandise and will ship payment within 2 business days unless there is a delivery time and it is mentioned on their invoice. Failure to pay may result in Empire Distribution taking legal advice from an attorney to pursue the funds, which you are obligated to pay. Buyer pays all litigation fees.
When a customer places an order, Empire Distribution USA will send that customer an email which aims to confirm the purchase and payment. This email confirmation will be produced automatically so that the user has the confirmation of his purchase and the details of the order. 
If a part of your transaction with Empire Distribution involves us bundling merchandise or preparing your order for Amazon FBA, the following charges will apply:

  • $0.30 per FNSKU labeling, 
  • $0.50 for bundling and/or polybagging. 

Not all orders are eligible for labeling or bundling services. Buyer must inquire and purchase such services when ordering.

Empire Distribution USA will not offer any supporting documents in addition to invoices for any issues on third party marketplaces, including Amazon. After confirmation, all sales will be considered final without any resolution. No cancellations are allowed after receipt of a purchase order or payment. Once Empire Distribution USA has a mutual agreement with a buyer that an order is considered finalized, either in writing or by verbal agreement, it CANNOT be cancelled and the order is non-refundable.

We reserve the right to limit the number of units purchased by each user. Empire Distribution USA also reserves the right to limit sales of our products on a regional or jurisdictional basis.
Empire Distribution USA may cancel any order and not supply products if it is reasonable to do so and may change or discontinue the availability of products at any time in its sole discretion. If an order is cancelled, any payments made for products will be refunded in full. This does not affect your statutory rights.
All new orders are considered separately and each is treated individually.
Important: Please note that the products available on this website are intended for resale or export. By purchasing our products, you represent and warrant that all purchases are intended for final delivery to locations within the USA.

Published prices do not include taxes and shipping charges. Such taxes and charges will be added to the total price and will be detailed during checkout and in the order confirmation email.

If you find any inconsistency in your billing, please contact us through our contact information or you can make the claim through the customer service of the corresponding payment platform.
