Our concept is to provide our customers with a one-stop-shop platform. All your requirements can be clubbed together in small or large quantities and sent to you as a single shipment.

Our Mission

We are a small group of professionals, dedicated to Bulk / OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) supplies worldwide.

An extensive study, reveled that a large number of mid-sized importers and wholesalers are unable to satisfy a full container load requirements of any one single product.

Now, with MarkMan it is possible to order a container load of mixed products, without feeling the burden of excess inventory and a high capitalization in one single product.

Our goal is to provide a positive contribution to importers worldwide who are bulk buyers and to those enterprises who supply to Dollar Stores.

We strive to:

• Provide you with products that are interesting, innovative, and profitable.
• Develop products as per international customer’s requirements facilitating international sales of local goods and services.
• Support local manufacturers in improving product design, quality control, labelling, packaging and cataloging according to international standards.
• Contribute to the development and sales of environmentally friendly products utilizing local renewable materials

• We can develop products for your market.
• We can provide drop shipping services to your existing customer’s world wide.
• We can provide all aspects of OEM specifications
• We can provide other services like graphic designing of labels and packaging.

Corporate Policies

Quality Control: We meticulously inspect and double-check our outgoing shipments for product correctness, manufacturing quality and appropriate packaging. On our own initiative we may at times include a slightly higher number of goods to off-set any potential shipping breakage or other risks.

However, any incurred shipping breakage is principally the responsibility of the freight forwarder and we highly urge you to carefully inspect your shipment immediately upon arrival - while the freight forwarder is present - and immediately fill out a claims report with the forwarder if you notice any damage to the outside packaging or shipment contents! Without such a report there is no restitution for damages whatsoever.

In any case we try to make amends if there should be any issue arising with your shipment.

Product Origin: Our products are manufactured and shipped directly from the manufacturing outlets within India and are manufactured according to the customers order specifications.

Product Images: Product pictures displayed are for illustration purpose only. We supply product designs, labeling and packaging as per the buyers specified requirements.

Fair Trade: Our products are manufactured in accordance to fair trade guidelines. In a nutshell, Fair Trade ensures that workers get a decent price for goods produced under fair and decent conditions. It also means that goods are never received on credit or "on consignment" and suppliers and workers are paid both in advance and immediately upon completion of manufacture. Further criteria include gender equality, child protection, work-place safety and health provisions, environmental awareness and protection, improved local village community income generation.

Minimum Order – Customisations: You can order goods by email. Most items are made to order and require a manufacturing period, which starts after your payment is received. Currently most of our products are shipped directly from India. We do have a "minimum order" concept; however it depends on your product selection and quantity.

For low to mid-volume quantities we apply standard one-time processing fees for customizations like processing custom logos or hand painted designs. These fees do not include the manufacture of one or two product samples or a number of color samples, excluding shipping costs of samples.

We reserve the right to adjust prices according to actual number of items ordered. That is, if a customer initially requests a quote for 300 items and subsequently orders 30 items, we reserve the right to adjust our price to the 30 items price. Likewise if our customer initially enquires about 30 items and subsequently orders 300, we will accordingly reduce the price.

Price List: For wholesale price indications we will provide as per your requirements on your enquiry to us. Please contact us with appropriate details and we'll send you a price details. Opening our price lists with terms and conditions require Acrobat Reader, if you do not have it installed we can send prices to you in another format, just let us know if you experience a problem.

Price Quotes: Prices will be quoted in United States Dollars. We quote shipping costs and, if applicable, transaction costs separately. Currencies, fuel costs and shipping charges fluctuate constantly. Actual product and shipping prices may differ from transaction to transaction. Please contact us with product and shipping details (or delivery location and deadline) for a firm price quotation. Please note: the more specific your request, the better and quicker we can reply to you with the information you need.

Samples: We regret that we do not entertain requests for free samples. However, we do credit the cost of the samples and shipping from your first order. The Company adopted this policy in order to eliminate administrative costs generated from non-serious requests.

Shipping: We ship worldwide, to just about all countries, except some African countries which are banned by our local export regulatory authorities.

With all or our products originating directly from manufacturing in India, international shipping forms an important cost item. This cost can be reduced significantly by two factors: a) time, because the more time you have the cheaper the shipping will be and b) quantity, because the higher the total shipping volume or weight, the cheaper the shipping costs will be per piece.

We arrange shipping as a service to our customers who purchase our range of products. We generally quote shipping costs "at cost" as quoted to us by freight forwarders. We have a number of discount agreements with various shipping agencies.

Product Packaging: Individual product packaging serves to protect items during shipment and facilitates proper product storage and may serve as a point-of-sales tool.

Standard packaging for non-ceramic items ranges from individual item plastic wrapping to craft paper wrapping. Optionally goods may be individually boxed.

We can also cater to specific labeling and point-of-sales packaging needs.

Shipment Packaging: Second level packaging (multiple items) consists of multiply board cartons, and whenever required consolidated in wooden or metal crates.

Product and shipment packaging varies per product line, and standard packaging details are shown on product pages. We may, whenever needed, use shipment packaging configurations that are different from those indicated. For final packaging configurations please check with us.

Permits, Duties and Sales Tax: We currently collect sales tax for domestic orders placed in India only. Any permits and certificates relevant to the destination country, import duties, value-added (sales) taxes or other types of levies and fees, are the responsibility of the purchaser. We can assist customers by locally obtaining needed certificates, forms and other documentation to facilitate any importation requirements. Please let us know, while we can also advise based on our experience.

Security: We do not accept online payments. Instead we insist for Telegraphic Wire Transfer (T/T) or Letter of Credit (L/C) for your as well as our safety.

Payment by “Telegraphic Wire Transfer”: We accept payments by Telegraphic Wire Transfer for which details are outlined below. For your orders, we require payment by direct bank transfer. Bank transfers should be arranged by SWIFT international transfer method with bank fees on behalf of the sender. Please note that SWIFT is an international transfer method that can be processed by your bank using standard SWIFT transfer forms. It is crucial that you correctly enter our SWIFT code. We send you our bank details and SWIFT code together with the invoice for your order. For SWIFT transfers, plan about 1-3 business days for funds to be transferred.

Payment by “Irrevocable Letter of Credit”: We accept payment against irrevocable letter of credit. It is a payment alternative that grants both; our customer and us a high degree of certainty of delivery and payment. Letters of credit are usually reserved for larger orders, since they carry relatively high fixed costs. In case you are not familiar with this payment method but like to explore it, your regular bank can furnish detailed information.

We strictly accept Letter of Credit documents that are;

                 1) Issued by a Prime Bank
                 2) The document should include a Bank - to - Bank Reimbursement Clause.

Price and Shipping Enquiry

As manufacturer, exporter and wholesale supplier, we prefer to handle your information request in person. We gladly send you our price information by e-mail.

Please let us know

We'll send you our price indication, shipping estimate and production lead time. We will also include volume and shipping suggestions that we believe represent the next best optimized volumes for lower item prices and shipping. If you are interested in many various or all of our items, we do kindly request you to also indicate approximate volumes per item and preferred shipping method.

As per your preference we quote:

Shipping Costs: For sea and air freight shipping do bear in mind that on a per item basis higher quantities are significantly cheaper to ship than smaller quantities. For more details please read our "Shipping" summary.

Shipping Summary

Sea Freight Shipping:
Sea freight shipping is the lowest cost method when volumes are over 1-2 cubic meters and takes around four to six weeks. It is often arranged by our clients through client's shipping company. Alternatively we can also arrange sea freight shipping and quote you cost-insurance-freight (CIF). Consignments may be by full container or partial container (partial container space by full cubic meter). While sea freight seems to imply shipping by sea only, it can actually cover the overland portion to your inland destination as well. Sea freight is usually delivered to your nearest sea port. You'll need to arrange customs clearance and delivery to your location from there. You can also contact an agent to do this for you. For sea freight we quote product prices delivered on board ship at India's major sea port (Nhava Sheva)

Air Freight Shipping:
Air freight shipping is usually arranged by us (CIF) through an air freight shipping company, and is used for more urgent volumes over about 50-100 kg. It takes about 3-5 days to reach your nearest international airport or other airport with a customs warehouse. Similar to sea freight, you'll need to arrange customs clearance and delivery to your location from there. You can clear and pick up the consignment by yourself, or contact a forwarding agent to do this for you. For quite a few locations, the major courier services are just slightly more costly than air freight, while arrange all customs and formalities and deliver to your doorstep.
