Wholesale Pebbles Exporter for Bulk International Buyers
Wholesale supply is judged on three things: whether the second container matches the first, whether packing suits your resale channel, and whether the quoted quantity actually loads. This page covers how we handle all three.
Who buys at wholesale
- — Decorative pebble and stone importers
- — Landscaping stone wholesalers and trade counters
- — Garden pebble distributors and retail chains
- — Natural stone distributors and merchants
- — Landscaping contractors buying by container
- — Project procurement teams for large developments
What to send for a wholesale quotation
- Products and size bands you want to stock
- Quantity per line in tonnes, and whether it repeats
- Packing format: loose bulk, bags, jumbo bags or retail packs
- Destination port or delivery city
- Preferred Incoterm (commonly FOB or CIF)
With those five, a quotation can usually be prepared in a single exchange rather than a week of messages.
Approximate weights by packing format
Useful for a rough handling and storage plan. Exact figures depend on stone density and are confirmed on your quotation.
| Format | Typical weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Woven bag | 20–25 kg | Retail-ready; roughly 40–50 bags per tonne depending on stone density |
| Jumbo bag (FIBC) | approx. 1,000–1,500 kg | Best balance of handling speed and packing cost for yards with a forklift |
| Loose bulk | n/a — tipped or grabbed | Lowest packing cost; needs handling equipment and storage space at destination |
| Retail pack | 1–5 kg | Shelf-ready pouches or tubs; highest cost per kilogram, used for premium retail lines |
More detail is in our full packaging options page.
Building a wholesale product range
- List every colour and size band you plan to stock, not just your best sellers
- Decide which lines are retail-packed and which are sold loose or by the bag
- Check that your slower-moving colours still justify a full pallet or jumbo bag minimum
- Confirm your reorder cycle so future containers can be sorted to match the first
What actually drives wholesale cost
The stone price per tonne is only one line in a wholesale landed-cost calculation. These are the other factors worth modelling before you compare quotations.
Packing format
Loose bulk is cheapest to pack but adds handling cost at destination; retail packs cost more to produce but sell at a higher margin.
Freight and Incoterm
FOB leaves freight to you; CIF bundles it in. Compare both against your own freight rates rather than assuming one is always cheaper.
Container payload utilisation
Stone reaches weight limits before volume limits, so a well-planned mixed load fills payload more efficiently than a single product alone.
Order consistency
A stable, repeat specification reduces sorting time and disputes compared to changing the size band or colour mix on every order.
Checklist for comparing wholesale quotations
- — Is stone priced separately from packing, so you can compare each line independently?
- — Is the quoted quantity checked against your destination's container payload?
- — Is the Incoterm stated, and does it match how you actually arrange freight?
- — Is a size and colour tolerance stated in writing for the specification quoted?
- — Does the quotation state whether the price is for a one-off or a repeat scheduled order?

Wholesale FAQs
- How is wholesale pricing decided?
- By product grade, size band, packing format, total quantity, Incoterm and destination. Because those five inputs move the price significantly, we quote per enquiry instead of publishing a list.
- Can we mix products in one wholesale container?
- Yes. Mixed loads are the norm for distributors building a range across colours and size bands.
- Do you support scheduled repeat shipments?
- Yes. Tell us your reorder cycle at the first enquiry so sorting can be planned for consistency across shipments.
- How do we estimate how many tonnes we need?
- Coverage depends on stone size, depth and application. Use our bulk calculation guide as a starting point, then confirm figures against your project drawings.
- Can wholesale orders be split across two destination ports?
- Sometimes, depending on quantity and packing. Tell us both destinations at enquiry stage so we can confirm whether splitting a container is workable.
- What is the single biggest driver of wholesale landed cost?
- Usually packing format and freight, not the stone price itself. Loose bulk and jumbo bags reduce packing cost but need handling equipment at destination, which is its own cost to factor in.
- Do larger wholesale quantities always mean a lower rate per tonne?
- Generally yes for the stone itself, but not always for packing or freight, which can have their own thresholds. Ask for the full landed-cost breakdown rather than judging on the headline rate alone.
- Can you hold a colour and size specification across multiple future orders?
- Yes, if you confirm the specification once and reference it on each reorder. This is standard practice for distributors running a stable product range.
