Drop Shipping Via Syncee

The Bone Art Place is an ethnic arts gallery based in Auckland, New Zealand.

We are dedicated to the art of genuine hand crafted New Zealand and Pacific bone carving, jade carving and wood carving in its many forms, from the very traditional Maori carving styles to the more contemporary designs for gifts and jewelry.

Some are set into sterling silver mounts, some are in the form of delicate earrings and others are unique gifts such as framed artworks or free standing sculptures.

Most of our products are hand crafted by local artists so while most are available on an ongoing basis, many are also unique one of a kind original pieces that will be removed from our gallery permanently when sold.

We represent a diverse group of approx 35 top local artists and ship worldwide.

Drop shipping with Syncee gives you the opportunity to retail products but not actually carry stock or have to deal with shipping and fulfillment etc.

Syncee is a managed feed service that makes it easy to add selected products to your web site and keep them synced with The Bone Art Place so stock levels and pricing are always up to date.
If something is sold out on The Bone Art Place its will also show as sold out on your web site so no issues with selling something that is not available.

UK Orders = Special Note:

= The new Brexit VAT rules:
From the 1st January 2021 and as part of Brexit the UK removed their tax exemption for low value items imported into the UK and moved the requirement for the collection of VAT from the border to the seller when the order value is less than £135

All companies directly selling anything into the UK shipped from anywhere else in the world including the EU are now required to register for VAT in the UK and to collect and remit VAT on all orders under £135

We can ship orders to the UK for drop shippers but for orders valued at less than £135 we will need you to provide an official invoice on your letterhead showing your company details and showing the purchase price and UK VAT component.

If you sell via an online marketplace such as Etsy or Amazon they will add the VAT and do the VAT returns for you so a copy of their invoice to the customer will meet the invoicing needs for the UK Customs service.

For shipments over the value of £135 the seller is not required to collect or account for VAT as the VAT will be collected from the customer at the border so you don't need to do anything special for those orders other than advise the customer that VAT will be charged at the border along with any other applicable duties..

As we are not the seller we are unable to provide sales invoices nor account for VAT with the UK government which is why we ask for a copy of your customer invoice to include with the shipment.

= Placing UK orders over the value of £135:
Just place orders as you would for all other countries.

= Placing UK orders under the value of £135:
After the order has been placed email us a copy of the official customer invoice showing your company details and showing the purchase price and UK VAT component.

Customer Contact = Important Note:

We do not interact directly with your customers at all.
All automatic notices such as order confirmations, shipping confirmations and tracking details are sent to you at the "billing address" email so you can pass the info onto your customer in any format you wish.
You are totally responsible for payments, charge backs and communications with your customers.
We are simply selling you a carving at a discount and shipping it to a different address so you are our customer.

Use of Manual Drop Ship Discount Codes:

You can not combine a drop ship discount code and any other promotional discount codes or offers.
Your drop ship code is highly confidential, DO NOT allow it to be used by any unauthorized person or published in any form

Retail discount codes or coupons:

From time to time we offer our customers special short term retail discount codes to our newsletter subscriber or Facebook followers etc.

Our system will only accept one discount code per order.
You can not combine drop shipping codes and retail codes for a larger discount.
If you use a retail discount code instead of your Drop Shipper Code, your order will be treated as a standard retail order and shipped with all of our usual branded paperwork etc.
That means no blind drop shipping and no additional custom documents etc will be included.

Stock & Availability:

You can set up the Syncee feed to keep your up to date with current stock levels at The Bone Art Place.

We have a wide range of hand crafted products broken into two main sections.

The stock products are items we make in volume so we keep a reasonable stock on hand and when we do sell out they are generally restocked again relatively quickly.
The Feature Artist products are mostly original and unique one of a kind or limited edition pieces so when they sell the are they are removed from our gallery permanently.
These products will have a bolded comment in the listing saying that they will be removed when sold.

Sold old out stock product on our web site that are likely to be made available again will have a link on the product details page that will allow you to registered for an email notification when that product becomes available again.

If a sold out item does not have the "notify me" link on the product details page that means we are unlikely to have it available again.

Customs Duties or Import Taxes:

Whenever you or your customers import any goods into another country they are subject to customs inspection and possibly import duties.
As every country uses different rules we are not able to tell you what if any duties may be payable to your local customs service so we recommend you contact them to find out before importing goods.
There are often duty free limits so that if an order is under a certain value import fees are not charged.
As a genera rule we find that most packages shipped by courier will be inspected and if over the duty free limit customs duties will be payable.
"Most" packages shipped by post if not too large and not of high value will pass through without customs inspection or duties payable.
The customer is the "Importer of Record" and is totally responsible for paying any such fees applied by their local authorities.
If a package is returned because your customer refused it or failed to pay any duties by due date we will be charged for return shipping and possibly customs duties.
We will deduct any such costs from any refund due on return.

Warranty:

We are very proud of the high quality of our work so we are happy to provide a 60 day full refund no questions asked return policy.

If on receiving your order you are not 100% happy with your carving for any reason at all, we will provide a full refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping) on return of the carvings in original condition within 60 days.
