What is the MOQ? Minimum order quantity for most stock items is approximately 5,000 units.

Are quantity discounts available? Yes, while each brand has its own cost structure, we can normally quote a discounted price based on quantity per shipment.

Can Select Amenities distribute the retail sizes of items shown on its website? No, we only handle amenity-size products for the travel-amenity market.

What is the shipping point? We have a West Coast warehouse (postal code 90221) near the port in Los Angeles & LAX airport and an East Coast warehouse (postal code 07083) near the ports in New York/New Jersey and JFK airport.

Is Select Amenities a “known shipper”? Yes, we are registered with the TSA as a known shipper and can, therefore, ship hazardous materials such as aerosol shave cream or alcohol-based hand sanitizer by air in the most efficient manner.

Can you quote on a delivered basis? We normally quote ex-warehouse so that all our customers are offered the same cost. However, we plan to start offering DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) pricing as an alternative.

Do you pack airline amenity kits? No, we focus on serving the companies that design and pack F/C, B/C, and comfort kits, as well as leading hotel amenity suppliers.
