Trade purchasing conditions

The process for registering as a wholesale customer consists of three steps: registering a business account providing proof of activity (website, VAT number, company registration or photograph of the premises), requesting approval by email and, once the account is activated, placing orders online. The minimum order is £200 plus VAT and payments can be made by card, PayPal or bank transfer. Delivery is free in the UK and Ireland; for Europe and the rest of the world the company provides a shipping quote on request. Orders are usually prepared within one or two working days, with next-day courier services when possible.

Editorial and industry information activity

The company maintains a blog with content aimed at its trade customers, such as an analysis of the shortage of Pokémon card stock and prices above the recommended retail price in 2025, or the presentation of its new wholesale sports equipment catalogue.
