You can’t buy that kind of thing by just putting it in a shopping cart and checking out on some website. You have to call, work with a salesperson for a company that specializes in the product, and then place an order. They’ll send you the product and an invoice with payment instructions. This will usually be a check or wire transfer. If it’s a big enough order, you also have to work collaboratively on logistics to receive it. How far they will take it and how far you have to go get it will depend on your contract. This can be as little as “you have to pick it up from our warehouse” or as much as “we’ll get it into your warehouse” They might take it as far as the nearest rail yard and you have to organize trucks for the last mile.

I wonder if anyone ever bought the 55 gallon barrel of sex lube that was for sale on Ebay?

Probably call up IGI Wax in Toronto and ask them.

wtf are you manufacturing?

Doesn’t exactly answer your question, but the folks over at Donut bought a cheap truck from China and had to deal with the logistics of getting something shipped over. I think it’d give you at least a high level idea of how to coordinate getting things put in a shipping container and getting it sent over, and then receiving it.

It’s interesting seeing someone coordinate all of this, and how expensive it gets

… dunno what you’re planning… but usually things are done in much smaller lots. Regular but more frequent shipments.

A ship full of wax is a lot of wax. You’d have to arrange for shipping - possibly international shipping…- and transport from the port to your warehouse etc.

There’s a lot of overhead for something you’re probably not going to be able to use much more than a few pallets at a time anyhow.

Assuming your making something to sell…Keep in mind there’s a lot of overhead for product you may go out of business before you can fully use.
