Wholesale Policies

You (“the buyer”) must have a physical shop, with or without an online website, OR be an online-only seller with an established following to be eligible for a wholesale account and remain a reseller of my goods. Selling on third party websites (Etsy, Ebay, Amazon) and purchasing items for personal use is strictly prohibited.

All buyers are reviewed and vetted to ensure they are a legitimate business. We reserve the right to deny applications or decline orders if shops are in violation of these policies.

How to place an order

1. Please fill out the form listed on this page, and our wholesale team will reach out if we need further information. If you are approved, you will receive an email request to set up your Lakota Made B2B account.
2. Once your account is set up, you can place orders as usual. These orders will be submitted for review by our wholesale manager. After review, you will receive an invoice via email.
3. Upon payment, we will begin processing your order and send an email confirmation.

By making wholesale purchases from Lakota Made LLC, buyers agree to these policies.

Wholesale Pricing

There are three different tiers with varying discounts applied based on first time, or repeat customers, and minimum dollar amount of the order. Once I have that information, I will assign your account a catalog of our available products. You will receive an access email for all of this after that. You can login and view the products automatically at their discounted prices.

Tier 1: First time orders of $1000 minimum at 35% off retail, following orders placed minimum of $500, discount remains the same.

 Tier 2: First time orders of $500 minimum at 30% off retail, following orders minimum of $250, discount remains the same.

 Tier 3: All orders over $250 minimum at 20% off retail.

All products listed on our website are available to order wholesale with the exception of clothing, jewelry, star quilts, and our herbal tonics due to their limited shelf life.

Youth & Elder Tribal Programs

Additional Discounts

Since buyers already receive a discount, wholesale pricing does not qualify for additional discounts unless offered during a promotion. Orders that have additional discount codes applied at checkout will be cancelled.

All orders are shipped from Mankato MN, unless prior local pickup arrangements have been made.

• Selling on third-party sites (Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, Daily Deal Sites, etc.)
• Drop-shipping sites (Buy.com, Overstock.com, etc.)
• Classified sites (Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc.)
• Selling in bulk to B2B accounts, or other wholesalers
• Purchasing items for personal use.
