Our Baskets

• What type(s) of material are your baskets made of?

  Our baskets are made from a variety of materials including willow, rattan, bamboo, fern, sea grass, rope, wire, paper, tin, metal, nylon, leatherette, and more.

• Which Lucky Clover baskets are eco-friendly?

  A majority of our baskets are made from natural materials, including willow, bamboo, sea grass, and wood chip. These are natural materials that are farmed and harvested for the weaving of the baskets. Because all of our baskets are handwoven, the carbon footprint of our operations is minimal.

• How do I locate the model number of your basket?
  You can find the model number of a basket below the product price on each individual product page.
• How do I measure a basket
  To measure a basket, begin at the top rim of the basket. Measure the inside length and width. Place the basket on a flat surface and measure the vertical height from where the basket touches the flat surface to the top rim of the basket. The overall height is the vertical height from the inside of the flat surface to the top of the extended handle (if there is one). Please note that all measurements of our baskets stated on our website are inside measurements and not outside measurements. As most of our baskets are handmade from natural materials, the baskets your receive may have a slight variance size. Please consider this before purchasing.
• How often do you clear out your items to make way for new ones?
  We generally update our clearance items twice a year, once after the holiday season and once after the summer. Please visit our clearance section periodically for new items.
• Do you carry ready made gift baskets?
  The Lucky Clover Trading Co. does not carry wholesale gift baskets that are ready packaged with products (i.e., food, gifts, etc.). Our expertise remains in designing, sourcing, and distributing the wholesale basket itself. By focusing on just the basket, our company is able to deliver superior quality, design, and pricing to our clients in the wholesale gift basket, floral, gift, hospitality, and home decor industries. The Lucky Clover Trading Co. has many clients that distribute finished and ready packed wholesale gift baskets. Please call a customer service representative at toll free 1-800-338-5825 for more information.
• I would like to order items on clearance. Are there additional discounts or restrictions when ordering clearance items?
  Our clearance items are final sale, no additional discounts will be given as they are already discounted. Please note that items purchased in our Clearance section are non-returnable.

Placing an Order

• What is the minimum amount I have to spend to place an order?
  There is no minimum dollar amount required to place a wholesale order. There is a $5.00 surcharge, however, on orders under $50. Shipping costs are not included.
• Can I order samples of baskets?
  Sample orders less than the $50.00 minimum are available at the wholesale price plus shipping costs and state sales tax (if applicable). A maximum of two (2) of each style of basket may be ordered. Please call our customer service representatives to place an order.
• Are any discounts offered?
  We offer discounts for volume purchased based on dollar amount. The discount is as follows: 5% for orders of $500.00 or more; 10% for orders of $1,000.00 or more; and 20% for orders of $2,000.00 or more.

Shipping

• Do you offer expedited shipping options?
  We only offer ground shipping at this time. Ground shipping is 2-7 business days in the US. We do not process orders on Saturdays or Sundays.
• How are shipping costs calculated?
  UPS bases their ground shipping and express shipping rates on dimensional weight and physical weight, whichever is greater. Baskets in general tend to be bulky when shipping, especially non-folding handle baskets. For example, a box of baskets that physically weighs ten (10) pounds may have a dimensional weight of 70 pounds. Therefore, a lightweight basket or box of baskets may have a high shipping charge.
• Why does my order say a freight quote is needed?
  UPS bases their ground shipping and express shipping rates on dimensional weight and physical weight, whichever is greater. If FedEx deems the package is too large, your order may have to be shipped on a palette with a trucking company. Should your order have to be shipped with a trucking company, we will contact you within one to two business days with a shipping quote.
• What are your shipping delivery times?

  Basket orders with Ground shipping as the shipping method are processed and shipped within 2 to 3 business days after the order is placed. Depending on which area of the country we are shipping to, please allow up to 7 business days for delivery.

  Note that some of our products such as fill and cellophane ship from multiple warehouses throughout the country. Please allow up to 7 business days to receive your entire order. If, after 7 business days, you have not received your entire order, please call us immediately at 800.338.5825 so that we may track your order.

  Please note that baskets are shipped from our warehouse in California. Our other items, such as our gift packing supplies ship from other locations throughout the country.

• Do you offer free shipping on any of your baskets or other items?
  We offer free shipping for some items, such as our Bulk Buy Deals (this is not applicable for Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada). For a multiple item order where there is a combination of free shipping items and non-free shipping items, you will be charged shipping for the non-free shipping items.
