Special Order Requests

Submitting this form is just a request for information on the item you would like to special order. We will reply with pricing, availability and lead time. We do not order the item until you have replied to the pricing email we send you and confirmed that you want the item ordered.

Special Orders can take anywhere from 4 to 8+ weeks and are never guaranteed! Average time is 4-6 weeks.

The following items cannot be special ordered due to production issues:

  • #1824 AP Richly Delicious Fudge Brownie Mix 4 lb. Bag EACH
  • #1823 AP Classic Creme Cake & Muffin Mix 4 lb. Bag EACH
  • #1822 AP Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pancake Mix 4 lb. Bag EACH
  • Please note that special orders are not guaranteed. We can still be shorted by the supplier or find out that it’s no longer available.
  • When requesting special orders you are simply asking for info and if we are able to get an item. Once that info is given and you have confirmed that you want to order it, that it is a commitment to buy it when it comes in. Be sure your customer knows!
  • Be sure to look online for the item you are wanting before requesting the special order to make sure there are none in stock. 🙂
  • Don’t forget that most items have to be ordered by the CASE.
  • HD (Hot Deal) Products cannot be special ordered at the same price and are not always available in the same package size.
  • Special order items will be added to net 10 orders for your customers unless otherwise requested or a current order exists when the item is received.
  • CHEESE: Josh is willing to Special Order cheese products only if we have carried them before. Be aware that they will come frozen and do NOT qualify for any refunds as we would prefer NOT to freeze cheeses other than those we’ve tested and have on catalog.
  • STEP 1
    Use the form below to request a special order. Include as many details about the item that you can. Please include the product name, description, flavor, item number if we’ve carried it previously. If it’s a new item include the brand and size you are wanting as well.
  • STEP 2
    We will respond back to you with info on the item we found and pack sizes, and if we can special order the product you are looking for. If you do not receive an email response within 2 days, LET US KNOW.
  • STEP 3
    Once the product is received at the warehouse, we will notify you by text so we can place the Net 10 order for your customer.
