You may have noticed that consumers can order our puppets online through the Folkmanis.com website. This online store is set up through the Quivers system so that retailers like you can reach a wider audience! Folkmanis never sells directly to consumers, and this was a perfect solution for us to offer ecommerce on our flagship website.
Here's how it works: if a customer (say in Dayton, Ohio) places an order online through Folkmanis.com, the order will be fulfilled by the geographically closest Quivers-participating retail partner to their Dayton, Ohio address who has the puppet(s) in stock. This way, if a store carries our full inventory, they can broaden their customer base by tens of thousands!
To claim an order on a Quivers order, you must already have the puppet in stock. Quivers expects a 24 hour turn-around in shipping time, and drop-shipping is not allowed from the Folkmanis Warehouse.
If you have any questions or need any help please contact Quivers Support. If the issue is regarding an order please include the order number on the Subject line.
