Shopping Guide: Fiber Pricing vs. Wholesale

NEAFP offers two tiers of pricing: Fiber Pricing and Wholesale

Fiber Pricing is the most cost-effective way of purchasing our U.S. Alpaca products because the cost of goods takes into account your raw fiber submission towards the purchase. By contributing your alpaca fiber towards the purchase of our finished goods, you can get the very best price available, increasing your profit margins and maximizing the use of the fiber your herd produces.

All of our alpaca products listed in the FIBER PRICING product category include the raw fiber submission towards the purchase. Each item will have its monetary manufacturing cost + Fiber Grade and Weight Requirement listed in the description.

FIBER PRICING PRODUCT LISTING

As you can see, 1 pair of Survival Socks will cost $10.30 + 0.4 lbs of Prime Alpaca Fiber to complete.

How to Utilize Fiber Pricing

Utilizing Fiber Pricing begins with Creating a Fiberbank Account and getting your fiber to NEAFP through Mail-In, Drop-Off, or Collection points. Once the Fiber Arrives, our sorters will sort through it and verify the fiber contents.

Once sorted, you will receive an email with your Fiberbank Statement that states how much Prime fiber, Seconds, and Thirds you have in your bank to use towards purchasing the Product. Your Fiberbank will essentially become an online bank statement of your submissions.

Getting started purchasing items at fiber pricing is as easy as placing your first order. The Fiber requirement is automatically calculated and will be deducted from your fiber bank account. Please allow 24 hours for the Fiberbank to update.

If you have sent in fiber for the first time and are waiting for it to be sorted from a collection, you can still place an order under wholesale while your fiber is in the queue. If you have sent in fiber previously, and are waiting for fiber from collections to be sorted, you can still place a fiber pricing order and we will use your previous deposit as a reference for how much fiber you will have with us.

If you are mailing in fiber, you also have the option to place a fiber pricing order beforehand, and once payment is processed the order will be marked as "Waiting on Fiber". The order will be sent out after the Fiber arrives to us and is sorted.

Wholesale Pricing

Wholesale is more expensive than our Fiber Pricing but does not require alpaca fiber to complete the purchase. Wholesale is great for farms that sell more finished goods than their herd can support each year in fiber production.

Our Wholesale pricing is just like ordering from other vendors. An order is placed, payment is processed, & the products are shipped.

Inside our WHOLESALE category, all our items are listed at pricing that does NOT require raw alpaca fiber to complete.

WHOLESALE PRODUCT LISTING

1 pair of Survival Socks will cost $13.70 at the wholesale price.

Purchasing at Wholesale is as easy as adding the items from this category to your shopping cart and following the normal checkout procedure. For first-time, non-alpaca farm retailers, there is an initial minimum purchase of $350. After your first order, there are no minimums!
