Delivery
Rainbow Cosmetics Manchester Ltd, distributes and wholesales a wide range of products to more than 40 countries, the challenges of delivering to each of these countries are different and we have therefore tried to simplify the minimum order values and terms for your ease.
The products that we supply differ in price and size and as a result we have categorised products accordingly so that there is clarity on order and carriage paid thresholds.
Carriage terms for mainland UK customers:
*All price are quoted are excluding VAT.
For customers in the Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, Ireland and the Rest of the World:
For Scottish Highlands we can arrange carriage but the customer must pay the carriage costs in full.
All other orders placed are on an Ex Works basis i.e. the Buyer is responsible for arranging carriage paying any applicable duties and insuring the goods during transit. On receipt of your order we will process the necessary paperwork (including dangerous goods notes for transit) and reserve the stock whilst you organise the transport details.
Minimum order Values are as detailed in the table below:
*All price quoted are excluding VAT.
All export orders are ex-works, Rainbow is partnered with a number of freight companies who will be happy to provide you with a quote, or you can use or organise shipment with your own supplier. If you are not using a Rainbow preferred supplier (currently DSV and Trans Global) VAT will be charged on your order, but it can be claimed back once we have received a certificate of shipment (See below).
Payment must be cleared funds in our bank account before we will release your order. Payment can be received in GBP(£), USD($) and Euros(€).Important: Please note that it is your responsibility to insure goods in transit from the Rainbow warehouse to your delivery address.
We can put you in contact with one of our preferred carriers for you to arrange a quotation - Rainbow does not receive any financial benefit.

Other Information
Q. Why do I need a dangerous goods note?
A. Fragrance, nail polish and a number of other products sold by Rainbow cosmetics are classed as hazardous* by the UN and it is a legal requirement to have a dangerous goods note for the transit of these products overseas.
If your order contains any products classed as dangerous then a dangerous good note will be required for transit. We will prepare these on your behalf free of charge.Rainbow Cosmetics transports all hazardous freight in line with the regulations as set out in the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR agreement) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods code (IMDG Code). For more detailed information on ADR and IMDG, please visit the Health and Safety Executive website at: www.hse.gov.uk/cdg/manual/regenvirnment.htm#IMDG*A “hazardous product" is any solid, liquid, or gas that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment. These dangerous or hazardous goods are classified by the UN.
Q. What is a certificate of shipment and how do I get one?
A. A certificate of shipment is a document required by Customs and Excise to track the journey of goods into and out of the country. For all export orders we require a copy of the shipment of goods as confirmation your order has left the country. On receipt of the certificate we will credit the VAT back to your account.
