17. How will I know what fragrances are in the bottles if it is unlabeled?
Unlabeled does not mean that you wont be able to identify the fragrance in the bottle. Unlabeled in this instance means it won't have our logo or your logo, in other words, unbranded. Each perfume bottle comes with a seperate label on the back or bottom of the individual bottle stating what fragrance is contained within the bottle. The only instance a perfume will be sent without this label is when a customer only purchased for example 50 x 50ml perfumes and all 50 x 50ml contain the exact same fragrance. In this instance all 50 bottles will have the exact same fragrance contained in it and the need for a seperate label is unecessary.
18. Are the bottles you sell filled with perfume or are they empty?
We sell bottles filled with perfume and empty bottles. Our core business is customising customers perfume orders for filled bottles of perfumes and boxes. We are a perfume wholesaler, we are not a bottle wholesaler. However, due to customer demand we have added empty bottles to our stocklist.

You may send your logo so we can see if the quality and resolution is suitable. When you send us your logo we assume that it is already exactly how you want it printed. If you want Eau de Parfum or Perfume or 50ml added to your logo then you need to let us know about the additions and we will gladly edit it for you if its possible.
37. Please let me know why I didnt receive testers in my order that I received?
If there is no testers in your order that you received it means you did not place an order for testers and that you were not invoiced for testers. Please look carefully at the invoice before making payment to make sure all the items you are ordering and expecting are on the invoice. If an item is not on the invoice it means you will not be receiving that item. If you order a promo and testers are part of the promo then the testers will also be on the invoice as part of the stock you will be receiving for the promo. If you order a promo that has no testers as part of the promo then we do not automatically add testers to your order for free and you would have to include the seperate testers when you place an order for the promo so that we can invoice you for it.
38. How much is your delivery fee?
The delivery fee is entirely dependent on the size of your order and the delivery method and address. If you want a qoute on courier please let us know the size of your order as the courier fee will vary greatly between an order of 200 bottles of perfume and an order of 20 bottles of perfume or an order of 10 testers. The dimensions, weight and volume of a parcel all have an effect on the cost of the delivery.
39. How long does it take to send an order out?
The time it takes to send out an order is based on many variables. We dont offer just 1 standard bottle and 1 standard cap only like other perfume suppliers. Our catalogue consists of more than 200 bottle and cap combinations which will make one customers order very different to the next customers order. We cannot keep stock of more than 200 different bottle and cap combinations which means it will take time to assemble a custom order that has specific bottles and caps along with labels and boxes. It generally takes a week to assemble all the different elements to complete a custom order. If the waiting period of a week is not suitable then you are welcome to rather order our standard bottles which we do keep in stock at all times.
40. Do you provide branding if I buy empty perfume bottles and boxes?
We unfortuantelty do not provide branding on empty perfume bottles. We do not provide branding for empty perfume boxes. We only provide our branding service to customers who purchase a perfume order.
41. What type of perfume order qualifies for custom printed boxes or premium labels?
We usualy work on the same amount of perfumes equal to custom printed boxes in your order however we are open to discussing the requirements of each customer.
42. May I set up an appointment for a conference call?
You may contact us on Google Meet via the calender app at the following link Google Meet Conference Call Calender Appointment Time Slot Request. Your email address, which you used to make the booking, needs to be registered on the Meet app in order for us to make the call. Alternatively you can contact us via voice call. Each customer is alotted one conference call per month to prevent several appointment requests from one individual customer.
43. Are the bottles on your stocklist available at all times?
We cannot guarantee the uninterupted supply of the bottles on our stocklist as this is something that is out of our control and most probably out the control of most of our suppliers. If you would like a continuous, uninterupted supply of a certain bottle its probably in your interest to import the bottles directly from the manufacturer.
44. Do you sell bottles, pumps and caps seperately?
We do not sell bottles, pumps or caps seperately, we sell it as a complete unit.
45. Can I order custom printed boxes in larger quantities with my own branding?
Yes you may. We have 2 options for customers who would like custom printed perfume, roll on or lotion boxes. Small quantities (20 and less) are completed inhouse and larger quantities (30 and more) are outsourced. Custom boxes are not our core business but merely an add on to the fragrances we supply and its therefore in our customers interest to have larger quantities outsourced.
46. Can I order larger quantities of the custom branded items like t shirts and peak caps, etc?
Branding various items is not our core business, it merely serves as an add on to the customers perfume order. If you would like to order larger quantities of branded add ons we suggest a company that offers this as their core business.
