A cosmetic products wholesale price list is useful when it identifies the exact item, the quantity being priced, the currency and the conditions attached to that price. For a UAE retailer sourcing from a US supplier, a catalogue figure is the start of a comparison. The final quotation needs to connect that figure with your actual products, quantities and agreed delivery or handover point.
To request current Lacaco pricing, review the relevant product listings and contact the sales team with your buying requirements. This guide explains how to read the information you receive and compare offers consistently. It does not reproduce a current Lacaco trade price list or present illustrative figures as supplier prices.
Where buyers can find a current wholesale price list
Suppliers present trade pricing in several formats: downloadable lists, account-based catalogues and quotations prepared for a specific request. A PDF may help you review a range, while an account price or dated quotation may reflect a particular buyer, quantity or set of terms. Establish which type of document you are reading.
For example, Siyam’s wholesale information describes piece and carton prices together with carton sizes and minimum quantities. Najafi’s B2B site provides access to wholesale pricing through business registration. These illustrate different ways trade prices are presented; each supplier’s own terms apply.
Lacaco’s published buying guide describes receiving price information through the sales team after discussing the brands of interest. Ask for the latest applicable list or quotation, and confirm its issue date and validity. Avoid relying on an old attachment forwarded without its original terms.
Start with the product identity behind each price
Two lines can use the same brand name while describing different sizes, shades or product versions. Keep the product name, variant and retail size attached to its price. A short description such as “concealer” or “moisturiser” leaves too much room for a comparison between different items.
For instance, Lacaco lists Catrice True Skin High Cover Concealer in 010 Cool Cashmere, 4.5 ml. The shade and size are part of that item’s identity. A quotation for another shade should be reviewed as another line, even when the product family has the same name.
Lacaco also lists Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer in a 3 oz tube. Retain that full description in a buying request so it is distinguishable from other Vanicream moisturisers or package formats. These are examples of identifying listed products, not statements of their current price or availability.
Read the quantity basis before comparing the number
A price per bottle and a price per carton have different denominators. Establish the number of sellable retail items in the quoted order pack. The number of items pictured on a page, the retail size printed on a bottle and the supplier’s order-pack quantity answer different questions.
For a carton quotation, divide its goods price by the confirmed number of sellable items in that carton. For a quotation already priced per retail item, keep that unit basis and confirm the minimum quantity. If a retail product is itself a set, keep the set intact as the sellable unit rather than treating every component as a separate product.
| Field on the offer | Question it should answer |
|---|---|
| Item and variant | Which exact product, shade, version and retail size is being quoted? |
| Pricing unit | Does the amount cover one retail item, a set, an inner pack or a carton? |
| Pack quantity | How many sellable retail items are included in that pricing unit? |
| Currency and validity | Which currency is used, and until when do these terms apply? |
| Quantity condition | Which order quantity qualifies for the quoted price? |
| Included charges and handover | Which charges and delivery or collection point does the offer include? |
A worked example: compare two offers on the same basis
The following figures are entirely hypothetical. Assume both offers cover the same product and version, with 12 sellable items, priced in USD. Assume the only additional charge shown is transport to the same agreed US handover point. These are not Lacaco prices, pack sizes, minimums or shipping fees.
| Comparison | Offer A | Offer B |
|---|---|---|
| Quoted goods price | USD 72 per carton of 12 | USD 6.25 per retail item |
| Retail items compared | 12 | 12 |
| Goods subtotal | USD 72 | USD 75 |
| Assumed charge to the same handover point | USD 12 | USD 0 |
| Total for this comparison | USD 84 | USD 75 |
| Amount per retail item at that point | USD 7.00 | USD 6.25 |
Offer A has the lower goods price per item: USD 72 ÷ 12 = USD 6.00. Once the assumed charge is included, its comparable amount is USD 84 ÷ 12 = USD 7.00. Offer B totals USD 75 for the same 12 items, or USD 6.25 each.
The example shows why the scope of a price matters. It excludes international freight, destination charges, taxes and any other costs. It therefore cannot be described as the cost delivered to a UAE shop. Use the same product, quantity, currency and handover point before drawing a conclusion from two offers.
Separate the goods quotation from the onward logistics
A UAE buyer needs to know where the supplier’s quoted responsibility ends and which arrangements remain separate. Lacaco’s published buying guide states that international buyers arrange their own freight forwarder or shipping agent, and describes a separately quoted shipment to a US address when applicable. Confirm the current arrangement directly with the team for your order.
Ask whether the amount being compared covers goods only, collection, or delivery to an agreed US location. Then identify the onward costs separately with the relevant service provider. A goods quotation and a delivered-to-store amount cover different scopes. Keep that distinction visible in your purchasing records.
Keep the final quotation connected to the list
A price-list line is most useful when it can be traced into a dated quotation for the selected quantity. Check that the exact item and pricing unit remain consistent. If the quantity changes, ask whether the quoted price still applies; do not assume a larger order automatically earns a particular discount.
Keep revised offers in sequence so your team can identify the latest agreed version. If a line changes in size, shade, pack quantity or availability, review its price again on that revised basis. Carrying an earlier unit calculation into a changed product line can make a comparison misleading.
Request the relevant pricing from Lacaco
Send the product links or exact item names, variants, preferred retail sizes and expected quantities. Include your business type, sales channel and destination city and country. Where you already have a US freight-forwarder address or collection arrangement, describe the intended handover so the sales discussion covers the right scope.
Ask the team to confirm current availability, pricing currency, order packs, minimum quantities, quote validity and applicable charges. You can use the Catrice and Vanicream examples above as a model for a specific item description. Contact Lacaco for current pricing relevant to the products and quantities your business needs.
Frequently asked questions
Is a catalogue price the final delivered cost to my UAE store?
Confirm its scope first. A product price may cover goods only or a particular handover arrangement. International transport and destination costs should be identified separately before describing an amount as delivered to your store.
How do I compare a carton price with a price per piece?
Divide the carton’s goods price by its confirmed number of sellable retail items, then compare the same product and quantity. Include the same categories of agreed charges and use the same currency and handover point.
Can I use an older wholesale price list for a new order?
Use it as a reference and request current confirmation. Ask whether the exact item, pack, quantity condition, availability and price validity still apply. Keep the latest dated quotation with your buying records.
