FAQs

  • You place your order with us, and then we place your order directly with the vendor, so you can receive our trade partnership discount. We charge a small fee for this service that is a percentage of your total discount. See an example here.

  • The ordering service fee would be 30% of the total savings (with a $75 minimum ordering fee).

    For example: If you wanted to purchase a $5500 item, and Folkway Co.’s trade discount was 20%, the total savings would be $1100. Our service fee would be $330, and you would still save $770.

  • Generally no. If an item in on sale most retailers do not let us stack discounts. (Restoration Hardware is the exception).

  • We place your order using all of your contact information, so any returns, exchanges or shipping inquiries you handle directly with the vendor.

  • Each store is different but the typical discount between 10%-30%.
