Hi,

u have to call the reception and ask for the revelant buyer incharge,make appt to see them and fill up the vendor application form.
There is a opening account fee.Last time carrefour is $3000.
Now i m not sure.You make ask the reception.
As for dept store,same method applies!

good luck!

i had been a account holder with carefourr since last year and for my advice u better go and get a push cart or event to sell your product rather then to consign to them.

1) first u need to pay them a fees to open an account
2) u need to pay them additional for stupid listing fee which are useless
3) u need to pay to their vendor to set up a b2b account in order to recived and see your invoice account,,and also to collect money

in short before u start to get ur selling money in 45days (which drag to 60days) u have to come upfront of few thousand first,,,also dun forget of your own stock cost.....

and worst of all, they keep asking u to take part their outside event to show support and u still need to pay additional rental charge beside of their percentage intake.

so please think twice before step in,,,
i think just rent a space with one of those organiser is a wiser choice..

hope it helps..

Hi ,

On top of the opening account fee, you will need to pay a margin.it's depend on how you negotiate with the buyer.Payment terms is 45 days - 60 days depending .

Fyi,these applies to all department stores as well,the margin can kill.Especially john litte / robinson margin,it is 45%-50%.Not worth to do it.It is better to join those event organiser to sell your products.:)

By the way, what products are you selling?
