Below you will find more wholesale information such as product minimums and ship time and methods – thank you so much for your interest in Kamibashi!

*Please note that you can mix and match types of dolls to make the 40 or 50 piece minimums. For example, an order of 25 string dolls and 25 DEBO Superheroes is enough to get you one of our displays (free with 50 dolls).

The String Doll Gang: 40 pieces assorted (no minimum per character) or 50 with a free birchwood display (made in the USA!). You choose which dolls you want or let us choose for you – and remember, the more you buy the more you sell, so why not start with 100?

Freak-O-Bags: 24 pieces assorted (no minimum per style). If FOBs are ordered along with other products we are happy to be flexible on the minimum.

BLABBOS: 30 pieces assorted. We will send a selection of all shapes, please do not order by shape. Wood display is FREE (+ $10 shipping) with 80 BLABBOs or 40 BLABBOs and 25 other dolls.

The Koonin Family Pets: 40 pieces assorted (no minimum per type of pet). Please note that pets are ordered by TYPE of pet (8 cats, 3 dogs, etc.) and not by shape. There are many more shapes than can be seen on our website and we'll be sure to send a nice variety. Tags are also assorted – please do not request certain mottos. Wood display is FREE (+ $10 shipping) with 50 pets.

DEBO Superheroes: 40 pieces assorted (no minimum per shape). Please note that DEBO Superheroes are made in limited editions of 50 and are ordered by STYLE ( 5 Maru-bo, 10 Hako-bo, etc.). You will not receive exactly the same dolls as you see on the website, but they will be the same shape and just as cool as the ones you see on the website. Tags are also assorted – please do not request certain powers. Wood display is FREE (+ $10 shipping) with 50 pets.

Greeting Cards, Stickers, Yuzen, Magnets (any combination of all four): $75, or no minimum if order accompanies a 40 piece doll order. Minimum of 6 per greeting card image.

Framed Prints: Minimum 6 assorted, no minimum per image. Framed prints are invoiced separately from other products and ship from the fabulous poster company we work with in Connecticut.

Birchwood POP display for The String Doll Gang®

Our Pop Display is a classy birchwood spinner that can be used with all of our doll products. Order it with the same header sticker on each side when buying only one type of doll, or go with a 50 - 50 display when buying two doll types. We also have a 3-way header sticker if you'd like to put all 3 Kamibashi doll products on one display.

There is a limit of one free display per product per store (in other words, an order of 50 each of all 3 doll products (150 dolls total) entitles you to 3 displays. An order of 25 of one doll type and 25 of another doll type entitles you to 1 display.) Additional displays can be purchased for $23.

Please note that displays ship separately from the dolls and a $10 shipping fee will be added to your invoice to cover this charge. We always aim for your display to arrive either before or on the same day as your dolls, but if it has not it should be there soon. Please call us if you have not received your display within 5 days of receiving your dolls (or vis versa) so that we can check into it.

Our goal is to get our products to you fast, cuz the sooner you have it the sooner you sell it. We generally get orders out within 48 hours, but during gift show season (the months of February, March, July, and August) or the mad holiday rush, we end up taking longer. Beat the rush and order early!
If it is not busy season and your order hasn't arrived within two weeks of ordering then something is probably wrong (perhaps we never got your fax) so please give us a call and make sure we're on top of it – thanks!

We normally have everything in stock (including all of our 100+ String Doll Gang characters!) but once in a great while we do run out of something for a short time. If something you order is unavailable, Kristen will immediately notify you to see if you would like to backorder it, exchange it for a different character or different product, or cancel it from your order

We ship wholesale store orders out within 48 hours of their receipt by UPS Ground, which we have found to be the safest and cheapest method of shipment. Because we are located in North Carolina, orders to the West Coast take a full week to arrive, whereas orders to the East Coast, South, and Midwest normally take 2 to 3 days. Given the ship times, if you have not received your order within 10 days of sending it to us please call or e-mail Kristen, and she'll look into it.

Please also note that all Framed Print orders are invoiced separately and will ship separately from Connecticut by UPS ground and take the same timeframe as above to arrive.

If you need your order even FASTER please call (828) 683-7994 or e-mail Kristen for a quote on next-day, 2-day, and 3-day delivery by UPS. It's best to call if you need us to ship it on the day you are calling.

Any product that arrives in less than perfect condition may be returned for a full refund. To make a return, please send an e-mail within 3 days of receipt with: 1) your name 2) store name 3) your invoice number and 4) a brief description of the nature of the problem to: kristen@kamibashi.com

She will apologize profusely as well as refund the item(s) and pay for the return shipping of any product that is deemed imperfect. Shipping expenses for shipping from North Carolina to the customer will only be refunded if the entire order is found to be damaged.

Please remember too that our products are guaranteed. If 3 months have passed and you still have more than half of your original order you may return the remaining product to us for a refund.
