Melonz Wholesale FAQ's

Fill out the retailer form above and I'll get back to you within one business day. We'll talk about your store, your customers, and which display fits your floor. Most stores are set up and stocked within a week of that call.

Independent specialty retail — surf and beach shops, sunglass specialty stores, coastal and resort gift shops, marinas, bait and tackle, general stores, and boutiques. Melonz is currently in 24 doors across the Southeast and Gulf Coast. Single-location stores and regional chains run on the same program.

No. One store or thirty, the program and terms are the same. Multi-door retailers often test Melonz in a single location first and roll it out from there.

Yes — Melonz sells wholesale to retail businesses only. Have your resale certificate ready when we talk.

Melonz is a brick-and-mortar program. If you have an online store attached to your shop, let's talk about it on the call — we're careful about channel and pricing, which is part of why we don't get marked down.

We're based in Georgia. Wholesale orders ship from our Atlanta-area warehouse.

Jarrod Sanders, the founder. He spent 30 years as a sunglass retailer before starting the brand, and he still takes the calls himself. There's no rep layer to deal with.

Better than keystone at 55%. Exact wholesale pricing comes out on the call, along with the sizes and styles that fit your store.

Prepaid to start. Once we've got some order history together we discuss moving to Net 30.

Yes, and it depends on the display. 24 pairs for the 12-piece counter display (~$450), 96 pairs for the 48-piece tower (~$900), 144 pairs for the 96-piece floor display (~$1,800).

No. The opening order is the only commitment. There's no contract, no annual minimum, and nothing you have to hit to keep the display.

No minimum on reorders but shipping at least 6 melonz is ideal from a cost standpoint. Order what your display needs.

Three. A 12-piece counter or table display, a 48-piece tower that stands 75 inches tall on an 18"x18" footprint, and a 96-piece floor display the same height with a 24"x18" footprint. All three are free with your opening order.

Two square feet. It's 18 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 75 inches tall — real presence without giving up much floor.

Three square feet. It's 24 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 75 inches tall — real presence without giving up much floor.

Because the display works like your footwear selection — one of each on display, sizes behind it.

Yes, and plenty of stores do. We'll swap your old display for a new one at no charge.

Let's talk about it. The displays are built around the three-size system, which is what makes melonz really work on the floor. But we can figure out what makes sense for your space.

Every Melonz style comes in three incremental sizes — Small, Medium, and Large-XL. Head widths vary by about 30mm across adults, which is more than a full size range in shoes, and almost every sunglass brand sells one size. Melonz is built to fit the customers head no matter what size.

Small fits head widths around 115–130mm, Medium 131–139mm, and Large-XL 140mm and up. Customers can find their size easily just by trying them on. It's a totally new way to try-on and buy sunglasses.

We make a shape for every face and a size for every head. Nine styles — Bodacious, Crenshaw, Guava, Papaya, Sugar, Valencia, Honeydew, Honey, and Calypso — covering aviators, wraps, squares, rounds, and cat-eyes, each in multiple color across all three sizes.

Yes, every pair, at no additional cost. We do have a non-polarized style coming soon designed just for sports.

No, and it won't be. The founder hates selling on Amazon and other marketplaces. It's just not for us.

Most markets are wide open right now. If there's a store nearby you're concerned about, bring it up on the call — we're not looking to put Melonz in every store in the same area.

Melonz carries a 365-day warranty and we handle it directly. Customers register with us, so warranty claims and repairs never land on your staff.

However you want. Send a photo of your display and we'll match it against your store planogram and fill the gaps. Or email or text us an order form, send your sell-through report, or just call it in. Either way you're not working off a line sheet — we build the order from what actually sold.

We ship wholesale orders fast as we know what its like to need product before the weekend. So same day or next shipping once we receive your order.

We set your opening assortment based on your store, your customers, and what's turning in our other stores. You get a planogram showing where every style and size goes so anyone on your staff can refill it correctly.

A simple map of your display showing which style and size goes in each slot. It means restocking doesn't depend on the one person who remembers how it's supposed to look.

Yes but its minimal. Most orders ship for only $6 to $15 via UPS Ground.

We swap it. Slow movers swap out once a season, and usually we'll flag it before you have to ask. When new styles or colors come in, we tell you what to rotate and handle it.

Then we'll make it right. First we'd look at the assortment together, because a slow start is usually a mix problem rather than a brand problem. But you won't be stuck holding it.

Yes. You get a planogram with your opening order, we set the assortment, and we build reorders off your sell-through. Adding Melonz doesn't add more work, just more sales.

The displays carry the size messaging, which is what does the work on the floor. Talk to us about anything else your store needs.

We're still a smaller brand so you'll work directly with the founder on any issues.
