The Story
Though Elements International was built on imports and hosts some of the top merchandisers in the business, the news here is that the fast-growing company offers a variety of buying options with a program designed to fit customers of all sizes, from the Top 100s to single-store operations. Those on the hunt for direct imports, for example, can depend on the company’s excellent factory relationships in an expanding list of source countries, and take advantage of the option to import on Elements’ contracts, with Elements handling logistics and customs.
Mixed container programs are available thanks to warehouses in both Malaysia and Vietnam where top-selling products are stocked—giving customers the ability to buy a full container of goods and mix as many groups (dining, bedroom, accents and occasional) as desired on one container. Orders will typically ship from these facilities within two weeks. Direct containers are, of course, dependent on factory lead times, and typically hover around 90 days.
Known for outstanding customer service and quality control, as well as its innovative product assortment, parts for all imported goods are stocked domestically with the big news here definitely the company’s rising domestic presence. The Dallas warehouse typically ships goods within one week, and supports truckloads, LTL, CPU, and drop-ship orders from customers of all sizes. The company also continuously shops the best freight rates to afford customers the most competitive possible.
