Our recommended start-up order is approximately $500.00 CAD. This includes everything you need to get your shelves stocked with Milk Paint, companion products, and marketing materials.
Using UPS or another highly reputable courier, your orders leave within 3 business days from our warehouse.
Cost of shipping is very reasonable. We pay all customs and brokerage fees for orders entering into the USA.
We do not like to put retailers so close together that they are directly competing with each other, however, we also need to balance this with the customers needs to easily access milk paint in store, where they can receive excellent product support. We have a non-exclusive territory, while taking into consideration the above.
By having the customers come into the store, you can provide the best solution for them for their project making sure they walk out the door with everything they need to successfully complete their project(s) and also encourage them to take a hands-on workshop!
Milk Paint is a unique product on the market and requires a little more hands-on knowledge in terms of how to best use the products for a variety of results. To ensure the best education, we recommend Online or In Person Training.

Our main goal is to partner with “brick and mortar” shops where the retailer and staff are trained and available to offer customer support in store. It is also ideal if space is available onsite or close by where workshops can be hosted.
