special order service

it's important to me that you have other options to purchase the silk aquarium plants i've designed; that's why special orders are always welcome.

see something you like but the size isn't what you need, not a problem. i can easily design styles that are better suited to fit your personal tank situation.

simply choose any style(s) featured on the aquarium life-style blog and email the request. the email should include the following information: the style #,
quantity, and preferred height along with a contact name & email address. also include any other "special requests" or questions, as well. if there are styles you've selected that are currently not in stock, you will be notified via email, shortly after your original request. should you want the design on the "hook" style, please indicate that as well. note some styles are not available on a hook because of restrictions by manufacture; i.e. stem length, bendability; will notify you if that's the case.

special orders do take a few extra days and are available at no additional cost for this service. all other costs and shipping rates apply. free shipping on all orders of $25 or more (U.S. only). shipping rate per item averages about $5 per unit (priority mail U.S.), some rate variations apply. for international orders, please send your request and i will respond back with shipping rates.

you will receive, via email, a final invoice of all items ordered/total amount due, including price and shipping costs before the special order design request is begun. once you agree on the emailed special order & invoiced total amount due, you are responsible for payment in-full of that order. your payment in-full signifies that you agree with all items/amounts invoiced. payment preferred via paypal; invoice emailed with paypal payment link. personal checks are accepted and take about 5-7 business days to clear. once check clears and/or paypal payment is received/posted, the order will then be started. any special order, once paid for, will begin and cannot be changed in any way. an additional $30 service charge for any returned checks applies. all sales are final.

any questions, please email them to me and thanks for your interest.... ron

wholesale pricing

Wholesale pricing details:


You, the reseller, would receive a 30% discount, per item, based on the retail price which is set by the designer. Discounts would also apply to any designs currently listed on my ebay auction (ID rlbeck) site / page


http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZrlbeck


The 30% discount comes off the public listed “buy it now” price which is noted on each auction page. You will be invoiced via paypal of the total cost & shipping of your purchase. You are not required to have a paypl account to purchase from ebay, they are just an e-billing service.


Additional designs for resell can also be chosen directly from the blog: http://aquariumlifestyle.blogspot.com/ by emailing the style # and/or the sap or pap #'s and quantity of the design requested. Specific heights or the “hook / clip” design feature can also be requested. Some styles are not available on the “clip / hook” nor a re some styles that are considered “seasonal”. Any changes to the said requests will be addressed via email. Once all the designs are requested, I will then calculate the costs and email a order proposal to the reseller.


Once the reseller reviews the order proposal and emails back an “o.k. proceed with the order” , I will then begin the designing. All wholesale purchases via ebay must be paid in full before shipping. Specific requests from the blog, require a 50 % deposit (based on total purchase price + shipping) before any designing will begin.


Shipping details:


  • If a wholesale order totals $49.99 or less, the reseller is responsible for the entire amount; an email of that amount would be provided.
  • Orders that total $50 to $99.99, I (the designer) will pay for half the shipping costs; an email of that amount would be provided.
  • Orders that total $100 or more, the shipping is free to the reseller; paid by myself, the designer.

All shipping rates are within the United States only, based on the current USPS Parcel Post rates, calculated based on the destination zip code / total weight.

The design process / shipping time can take several days or more once everything is aggred upon, so please be patient. I will keep you posted on the progress of your order and or any other unforeseen situations that may arise.


The blog is updated every time there are new designs / styles available. I also have a database of all my past & present customers that receive a "new designs" email as well. Once you have purchased from me, I will also list your business name / location and logo on the blog with a link to your web site. This service is free as long as you are a current retailer of my designs.


All sales are final.



the mechanics:

i use non toxic products on all my designs and when ever possible try to always first use recycled products (plastics: empty register tape rolls, empty ribbon spools). leaves are always "dip tested" in water that’s 80* to check for colour bleeding before design begins. I'm constantly pursuing other design choices and products; quality and value are a must always. if it’s stale, then it shouldn't go in the tank. I buy from a variety of suppliers both locally and online. since supply and demand are always a constant, when one is out of stock i will then pursue further elsewhere. unfortunately, there are times when i can only get one style from only one supplier; from time to time I'm forced to wait. since each design is done by hand, no one design is exactly like another. for example if you ordered 6 pieces of one particular style#, not all the leaves would point the same direction. the overall quantity of product duplication would be the same though.

The design process / shipping time can take several days or more, so please be patient. I will keep you posted on progress and or any other unforeseen situations that may arise. The blog is updated every time there are new designs available. I also have an email contacts list of past bloggers and ebay buyers that also receive update notices. All sales are final.


I dislike how cold & thoughtless businesses have become over time. therefore, i operate in a very calm, relaxed mode; I don’t rush my art out!. I also have to deal with my multiple sclerosis and its unpredictability on a daily basis, which also takes time away from designing.

if you would like further information, please email your request along with a brief description of your business. email link located on the main blog page top right.


thanks for your interest! ron
