At Sunshine Pilipinas, we consider our Resellers and Distributors as Partners. 

Sunshine Reseller

A Sunshine Reseller buys Sunshine-branded products in smaller quantities, either from a distributor or directly from Sunshine Pilipinas. Resellers focus on selling these products to customers through online or offline channels—or both—primarily as part of their retail operations. They manage their own marketing, branding (if permitted), and customer service, usually operating on a smaller scale with minimal investment. Resellers must present the designs as creations of Sunshine Pilipinas and cannot claim them as their own.

Sunshine Distributor

A Sunshine Distributor partners directly with Sunshine Pilipinas through a formal contract and purchases products in larger quantities using a Purchase Order process. Distributors have flexible options for their purchases:

1. Generic, unlabeled products for their own branding.
2. Generic products with distributor-branded packaging.
3. Sunshine-branded products.

Distributors work closely with Sunshine Pilipinas during the creative process to customize products before they are manufactured, creating a tailored experience for their specific market needs.

The minimum order quantity varies depending on the scale of your business and your goals:

• For Resellers: A minimum Batch Order of $3,000.
• For Medium-Scale Distributors: At least one Truckload for Sunshine-branded products available in our catalog  which will be shipped from our CA warehouse. Transporting of the products will be the distributor’s responsibility unless a freight arrangement is specified in the Purchase Order.
• For Large-Scale Distributors: A minimum of one 20ft x 10ft container for generic products or large-scale distributorship. This operates under a Freight-On-Board (FOB) arrangement, where Sunshine Pilipinas delivers the goods to the agreed port of shipment - within the Philippines, and the distributor assumes responsibility for freight costs and logistics from there.

We’re here to help you determine the best option for your business. Feel free to reach out for more details!

We offer special pricing for larger orders. Resellers receive discounts on Batch Orders, which apply to smaller quantities suited for their retail operations. Distributors, on the other hand, benefit from a more substantial discount based on their Truckload or Container-load orders, reflecting their larger-scale purchases and ongoing supply needs.

The pricing will come later in the process specifically for the custom-made orders.

Yes, we can accommodate custom-made product requests for Container-load orders. Once you enter into a partnership with Sunshine Pilipinas, we will collaborate closely through a comprehensive creative and manufacturing process. This includes:

• Product sampling
• Material and product specifications study
• Design reviews
• Prototyping
• Packaging development
• Final pricing

This process ensures that your custom products meet both your expectations and regulatory requirements. Please note that duplicating designs from other brands is strictly prohibited, and all raw materials used must comply with customs regulations.

All these details will be outlined in the Distribution Partnership Agreement (DPA), which formalizes our partnership and ensures mutual understanding. Feel free to reach out to start the conversation!

We do not impose geographic restrictions on distributorship. Instead, we focus on exclusivity at the product level:

Exclusive Distributor Designs: If a distributor sells their own designs under their own brand, those designs will be exclusive to that distributor. Sunshine Pilipinas will not sell these designs as our own, nor will we provide them to other distributors.

Sunshine-Branded Products: For Sunshine-branded products, there are no restrictions on quantity, coverage area, or location. This ensures all distributors have the flexibility to sell our products and expand their reach.

This policy encourages distributors to innovate and build their brand identity while fostering collaboration and flexibility in distributing Sunshine-branded products.

Generally, Yes. We replace products that are damaged due to a manufacturing fault or error.

For  Distributors purchasing container-loads, since we operate on an FOB (Free/Freight on Board) basis, responsibility for the products transfers to the buyer once they are loaded onto the container.

At Sunshine Pilipinas, we have a robust quality assurance process in place during manufacturing to ensure our products and packaging are designed to endure ocean travel. Additionally, we are committed to working closely with you and your brokers to ensure the process is as seamless as possible.

To further safeguard your shipment, we strongly recommend arranging proper handling and transit insurance for added protection during transport.

All our products are showcased in the catalog on our website, and the photos displayed are of the actual items. Potential partners are welcome to purchase items from our catalog as part of the Purchase Order process for sampling.

For custom-made products, we encourage partners to share their vision boards or brand catalog so we can collaborate on the design and prototype. This ensures we deliver a product that perfectly aligns with your expectations.

As part of our partnership, we will work closely with you throughout the creative process, which includes product sampling, material and product specification studies, design reviews, prototyping, packaging development, and final pricing. Our goal is to bring your vision to life while ensuring quality and satisfaction.

An FOB (Free/Freight on Board) agreement applies exclusively to Container-load orders. Under this arrangement, Sunshine Pilipinas is responsible for the goods until they are loaded onto the shipping vessel. Once the cargo is onboard, the Distributor assumes all costs and risks, including transportation, customs clearance, and delivery to the final destination.

Why is FOB the Best Option?

FOB provides transparency and flexibility, allowing buyers to take full control of their logistics after the cargo is loaded. This means buyers can choose their preferred freight forwarders, negotiate competitive shipping rates, and streamline the import process according to their specific needs. It is particularly advantageous for managing costs and ensuring efficient delivery.

Payment Terms for FOB Orders

• A 40% deposit is required upon finalizing the Purchase Order to initiate production.
• The remaining 60% balance is due once the cargo is loaded onto the shipping vessel.

Additional Costs for Sampling and Prototyping

For custom-made products, we recommend starting with a vision board or brand catalog to guide the design and prototyping process. Please note that sampling and prototyping may incur a minimal cost to cover materials and production efforts.

We understand that navigating the costs and responsibilities under an FOB agreement might feel overwhelming at first. However, Sunshine Pilipinas partners with a reliable U.S. customs broker who will guide you every step of the way—from customs clearance to the final delivery at your warehouse. This partnership ensures a seamless process, so you can focus on growing your business while we handle the logistics.

You are responsible for, but not limited to, the following costs once the cargo is onboard:

• Customs fees and duties.
• Transportation from the port to your warehouse.
• Any necessary storage or handling charges.

Everything prior to cargo boarding, including manufacturing, quality assurance, and loading onto the shipping vessel, is handled by Sunshine Pilipinas.
