We get this question a lot, and we mean a lot... so much so we created a whole page dedicated to the exact question (click here)!

This is one of those instances where looks can be deceiving. Each and every jar of our dust and/or glitter is filled by weight as opposed to volume. Whereas our product is manufactured using various amounts of edible pigments, the lighter colors such as white and clear are packed tighter than some of the deeper colors such as Gold and Silver so while it may appear to the human eye that certain jars contain less product, in reality, the weight is exactly the same in every jar. Simply put. some powders are more fluffy than others but rest assured, you're still getting the same amount of product.

WHOLESALE - The difference between buying wholesale vs becoming a Bakell® Distribution partner is that when you buy products wholesale from Bakell.com, although you can purchase as little or as much as you need with no obligation while still getting the lowest wholesale prices, however you cannot lock down the region or territory you plan on selling in. For some, this is absolutely fine and is not needed. So if you plan on re-selling our products but don't believe locking down a regional area or territory is needed for the area(s) you plan on selling and/ or reselling our products, OR, simply don't want to get tied down to any volume oblations, no problem - just keep purchasing wholesale - it is a perfect for you!

DISTRIBUTION - Becoming a Bakell® authorized distribution partner means we will not sell wholesale to any customers in your market and/ or region, your region would be considered "Locked-Down." A locked-down distribution territory means we will not sell to any reseller or retailer within a 90-mile radius of your establishment or defined region, it's all yours! This is done to protect your sales, your margins and to protect your physical retail footprint in your area. We want customers buying from you and then coming back for more! To become a Bakell® Brand distributor and own a region and/ or territory, it is required that the distributor/ reseller maintains the following; 1) Spends a minimum of $12,000 per/ quarter 2) maintains positive payment history against the account 3) no expansive/ escalated customer service issues 4) If quarterly spend increases to $24,000 per/ quarter, the lock-down mileage distance increases to a 180 mile radius 5) If spend per quarter exceeds $24,000 Bakell will further improve lock-down radius based on a case-by cases basis.
