Does my item have to be manufactured?

The item you submit for a product evaluation should be a manufactured item or, at the very least, a working prototype.


Will BME Retail help me manufacture my product or idea?

As a general practice BME Retail does not assist inventors and entrepreneurs with manufacturing.


Is there a fee?

BME Retail does not charge for a product evaluation nor does it sell its airtime.


Is there a minimum quantity of product that BME Retail buys?

A minimum purchase order is typically $1,500-$5,000 per item at wholesale cost. The first initial purchase order quantity must be made available up to 120 days for sales testing.


May I speak with a buyer to discuss my product?

Due to the volume of product submissions, we must ask you to follow BME's product submission process as a first step. Speaking with a buyer will not expedite the decision-making process. To access the BME Retail application process for submitting an item for review, use the form at the bottom of the page.


Does BME Retail sell cause-related merchandise?

At times, BME Retail sells cause-related merchandise where a donation is made to a specific charity. As with any product BME Retail sells, the cause-related product must have general appeal and salability. If BME Retail is interested, the product will be reviewed using BME's normal evaluation procedures and then scrutinized against BME's guidelines on marketing.




Application Process


I have more than one item. Should I submit an application for each?

Only one application per company is necessary. You will receive an e-mail requesting images of your product. Please reply to the e-mail, attaching the images for all the products you wish to submit and send the e-mail back to BME Retail. Be sure to include a price sheet if you have multiple items for review.


How can I have my product reviewed by BME Retail and how long will the review process take?

The first step in the product review process is to complete the BME product submission form below. Our Vendor Relations Department, will contact you via e-mail in approximately 4 to 6 weeks from the time your form is received to inform you of BME's level of interest in your product.


Should I mail BME Retail a product sample?

BME prefers that you do not send unsolicited product samples. If BME requests a sample, please enclose a copy of your product submission including the submittal number. Do not send any materials that cannot be replaced, for example: an original prototype or mold. BME Retail accepts no responsibility or liability for the safe arrival, handling or return of any submitted materials. BME Retail does not return unsolicited product samples.


How do I know if my application was successfully submitted?

You will receive an e-mail within 24 hours from the time you send your product submission. The e-mail contains a product submission number and a request that you attach and return an image of your product. Please see the example e-mail letter below.


Dear  Potential Vendor:

Your product submission has been successfully received.

Submission Number: XXXXX
Product Name: XXXXX
Product Submission: XXXXX

The next step is to supply a digital image of your product by replying to this e-mail and attaching the image. The only acceptable file formats are .jpg, .gif, and PDF.

In order for us to properly review your submission, you must provide a digital image. When sending your digital image please note your product submission number in the subject area of the submission. You must include this information on any future correspondence regarding your submission. Any submission that is received without a digital image, their product review will be declined. 

After receipt of your digital image, BME Retail's Product  team will review your product's market appeal to BME's current merchandising strategies.

This process may take 4-6 weeks. Upon completion, you will receive an e-mail whether or not BME is interested in having further discussions with you about your product.

Note your submission number above. You MUST include this information in the subject field of your e-mail.

Thank you, 

BME Retail Product Review Team


What factors should I keep in mind when calculating my cost to BME Retail?

As the vendor, you determine the cost of goods to BME Retail, based on the charges you incur in manufacturing, packaging and shipping your products to us. Since the address to which you will be shipping is not determined until a purchase order is issued, we cannot provide you with a specific address at this stage of the process.


May I have access to BME Retail's shipping & product requirements?

Once BME Retail has made the decision to move forward with your product, we will provide you with access to our Policies, Procedures, Packaging and Labeling Guidelines. We do not release this information until it is determined that BME Retail is interested in your product.
