Pricing Policies
ALL PRICES LISTED ON THE WEBSITE INCLUDE GST and we hope this makes it easier for you to calculate the total cost of your goods. We do require receipt of payment prior to shipment of orders.
Wholesale Pricing & Discount Pricing Requests
Being an online supplier, all our prices are wholesale. So we do not have a separate wholesale price list for raw materials or our bases. You will achieve a deeper wholesale price break based on volume - the more you purchase for your business, the lower the kilo/liter price.
Purchasers of large volume raw materials (this includes bulk soap bases) are asked to use our website and the drop down arrows to ensure we do not already have the size/volumes required already listed. With regards to our Melt & Pour Soap Bases, there is a further 5% discount if purchasing 100kg of any mix of 20kg cartons which is shown on the website. If the volume required is greater than the largest quantity shown, then we ask you to input multiples of the largest quantity shown and then when in the checkout page to write in the comments section that you wish for a quotation price. Please do not request cheaper pricing if the website states there is no further discount available. There is no discounted price available on any of our kits due to the labour intensive packing.
Our minimum order is $40.00 and all products that have an applicable wholesale price break are shown on the website, just drop down the arrow to view. You achieve the most discount by purchasing the largest size of product/ingredient. In order to offer the best pricing to to all customers our pricing structure offers a wide range of sizes and prices so you can obtain the best price we can offer.
If the size you require is already listed on the website (ie 20kg) then no further discount is available on this item. Multiples of the largest size listed may achieve further discounts unless stated otherwise.
There is no discounted price available on any of our kits due to the labour intensive packing.
Aussie Soap Supplies reserves the right to adjust as necessary any listed price at any time in response to raw material price increases or freight price changes.
