Import Crate Growth Initiative 2025 – A New Era for Wholesale

For years, Import Crate has been more than just a supplier—we’ve been a part of the car community, serving businesses and enthusiasts who share our passion. As the market evolves, we’re making changes that aren’t just about upgrading a website but about creating a better, more accessible wholesale experience for businesses of all sizes. This is why we’re launching the Import Crate Growth Initiative 2025—our plan to make wholesale easier, smarter, and more profitable for resellers.

Why We’re Making These Changes

We started our wholesale business in 2005, originally distributing My Shaldan products and later expanding to Treefrog and Diax brands. Our focus was on serving established retailers. However, as we expanded and transitioned our public-facing brand to Import Crate, we recognized that many small businesses, independent resellers, and new entrepreneurs wanted to carry our products but faced barriers like high minimum order requirements, shipping costs, and limited product selection.—like high minimum order requirements, shipping costs, and limited product selection.

We knew that if we wanted to help businesses thrive, we had to evolve. That’s where Import Crate Growth Initiative 2025 comes in.

What’s New?

Lower Minimum Orders – Resellers can now start with smaller orders, making it easier for small businesses and individuals to enter the market. Whether you’re a retailer or just getting started as a reseller, our wholesale program is now more accessible.

New Import Crate Products – We’re expanding our product lineup with lower-priced wholesale items, such as credit card skins ($15 per case of 6), giving resellers more variety to offer their customers.

Local Pickup Option (DFW Only) – To help businesses save on shipping, we’re now offering local pickup at our mall location for small wholesale orders. Simply place your order online, select local pickup, and we’ll notify you when it’s ready.

Smarter Shipping Strategy – We’ve improved our shipping guidance, ensuring that customers can better optimize their orders to avoid unnecessary shipping cost jumps. By structuring your purchases in recommended increments, you’ll be able to save more.

Improved International Order Support – With growing demand from resellers outside the U.S., we’ve made it easier for international customers to coordinate shipping and place orders with confidence.

Enhanced Product Information – Bulk pricing, case sizes, and ordering details are now clearly displayed, helping resellers make informed decisions when stocking up.

This Isn’t Just a Website Update – It’s a Wholesale Evolution

Many businesses update their websites, but this is about more than just a new look. This is a strategic shift to help resellers succeed. Whether you run a retail store, a detailing business, or just want to start reselling, these changes are designed to support your growth.

Our products are already available in select Kinokuniya stores, a well-known Japanese bookstore, and they’ve been performing well. We’re looking to expand to even more of their locations as part of our growth initiative. This is just the beginning of Import Crate Growth Initiative 2025, and we’re committed to making wholesale better than ever.
