The terms of every partnership.
These terms govern every partnership with Ede — dropshipping and wholesale alike. Plain language, no surprises. Questions before you order? Write to us at partners@edeshoes.com.
Last updated 15 October 2026
Who we are
"Ede", "we" and "us" mean EDE GIFT LLC, a Wyoming (USA) limited liability company, operating edeshoes.com. Footwear is produced in our partner atelier in Gaziantep, Türkiye — a third-generation family workshop making leather footwear since 1950. "You" means the partner — a dropshipping or wholesale business buying for resale. "Your customer" means the end buyer you sell to.
Partnership & eligibility
Trade prices are published on every product page, and businesses buying for resale may order directly. You may also request a written partnership proposal through our proposal form. We may decline orders or end a partnership where resale practices damage the product or other partners — counterfeiting, misleading claims, marketplace policy violations, breaches of the pricing policy in section 13, or use of the Ede name contrary to section 12.
Ordering
Dropship orders are placed per pair through the site, with your customer's shipping address at checkout. Wholesale orders are placed by the carton — ten pairs of shoes or six pairs of boots, mixed across models, leathers and sizes; shoes and boots cannot share a carton. All orders are confirmed by email. Sizes run women's US 3.5–14.5 (EU 34–45) and men's US 7–16.5 (EU 39–50); orders are placed in US sizing.
Payment
Payment is due at order placement through the payment methods offered at checkout. Orders enter production once payment clears. We do not offer credit terms at this stage of the partnership.
Shipping, duties & addresses
What shipping costs, and who pays import duties, depends on where the order is delivered. The delivery address sets the zone, and checkout shows the exact shipping cost before you pay.
Zone 01 — DDP. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means duties and import taxes are included in our price: neither you nor your customer pays anything at the door.
Zone 02 — DAP, import VAT on delivery. Shipping is free, but import VAT is not included in our price. The courier collects the destination's import VAT, and any handling fee, from the recipient on delivery. If your company holds an EU Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) number, enter it at checkout: we print it on the shipment, you account for the VAT through your own checkout, and your customer pays nothing at the door. For the UK or Norway, write to us if you already collect VAT at the point of sale. If you sell into Zone 02 without such a number, tell your customers before they order that import VAT is collected on delivery. Iceland and Switzerland are not part of Zone 02.
Zone 03 — duties paid on delivery. The shipping fee is added at checkout: $60 for one pair, $220 for a six-pair boot carton, $348 for a ten-pair shoe carton. Import duties and taxes are not included; they are set by the destination country and paid by the recipient on delivery. If you sell into these markets, tell your customers before they order. Where a route turns out to cost substantially more than the checkout fee, we may contact you before production; if we cannot agree, we cancel the order and refund it in full.
Write to us first. Some destinations cannot be ordered at checkout — conflict zones, countries under sanctions, and markets where customs routinely hold or return parcels. For these, write to partners@edeshoes.com with the country and what you would like to order; we confirm the route, the cost, the timing and the duties before anything is made.
Addresses. We do not ship to P.O. boxes. APO, FPO and DPO military addresses cannot be ordered at checkout — write to us first, as above. Every order needs a phone number for the courier — your customer's, or yours if your store does not collect it.
Dropship parcels ship directly to your customer with no Ede branding, and tracking is sent to you, not to your customer. All zones are set out on the Shipping & Lead Times page.
Lead times
Every pair is made to order. Production: 5 business days for single pairs, dropship orders and samples; 15 business days for full cartons. A first order with a new logo may need 3–5 extra business days for proof approval. Shipping: 3–5 days to the EU, the UK and Norway; 5–7 days to the US and Canada; elsewhere, transit varies by route.
The tracking number reaches you the day after you order; the parcel moves once production is done. Full details are on the Shipping & Lead Times page. Lead times are estimates, not guarantees; where a delay materially exceeds them, we tell you before you have to ask, and you may cancel the affected order for a full refund.
Samples
You may order any single pair of any model as a sample at its published page price, to evaluate quality, fit and finish before committing to cartons, and you may order as many samples as you like. Your samples are free: they are refunded as you order cartons. Every 10 pairs of shoes in your later carton orders refunds one shoe sample, and every 6 pairs of boots refunds one boot sample, with no time limit. Models and leathers may be mixed; single dropship orders do not count toward refunds. Samples ship under the same zone rules as any other order (section 05).
Dropshipping program
Under the dropship program you list our products on your channels, sell at your own retail price within the policy in section 13, and place each order with your customer's address. We produce, pack and ship directly to your customer. You are the merchant of record for your customer; we are your supplier.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your listings and for your own customer service, including sizing, exchanges and returns, using the product information and media we provide. When you sell to consumers in the EU or the UK, you provide their statutory rights, including the 14-day right of withdrawal on distance sales, and you meet the product-safety duties that apply to your sales — in the EU, including a responsible economic operator under the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). We supply the manufacturer and product information you need for this.
Wholesale program & private label
Wholesale partners buy by the carton at carton pricing and hold their own inventory. Private label is available on every order, from a single pair: your logo laser-engraved on the insole free of charge. If you send no logo, the insole is left blank and the pair ships fully unbranded. Each pair is wrapped in paper in a sturdy plain box with no Ede branding. A box carrying your logo is available from your first order for a one-time $100 setup; once you reach 300 pairs in a calendar month, boxes carrying your logo are produced at no extra charge from the following month. We produce Ede's own models and leathers only; we do not produce partner designs or modify the construction.
Product nature
Every pair is handmade to order from natural leather. Minor variations in colour, grain and texture are characteristics of genuine leather and of handcraft — not defects. Leather develops a patina with wear; this is intended, and worth explaining to your customers before they order.
Cancellations, returns & defects
Leather is cut against your order, so an order cannot be cancelled, returned or exchanged once payment clears — not for a size change, a colour change or a change of mind. The only cancellation rights are the delay rule in section 06 and the Zone 03 route rule in section 05. This is why samples exist: order one of each model you are considering before you commit to volume.
Defects. Report a manufacturing defect, a shortage, a wrong size or model sent, or transit damage within 14 days of delivery, with photos and the order number, to partners@edeshoes.com. We reply with a decision within 2 business days. An approved remake enters production within 5 business days and ships free of charge, including any import duties on the replacement — for a dropship order, to your customer under your branding. Where a remake is not possible, we refund the pair. Normal wear, misuse, moisture damage and improper care are not defects.
Your customers' returns. What you offer your own customers is your decision, under your own return policy, and those returns stay with you.
Media & intellectual property
Partners may use our product photos, descriptions and specifications to list and market the models they carry, and for no other purpose. Product photos show the Ede logo inside the shoe; partners replace it with their own logo or remove it before use. For images that show exactly what the customer receives, we recommend photographing samples made with the partner's logo. Lifestyle photography, model imagery and production stills remain Ede property and are not licensed for partner use. The licence ends with the partnership.
"Ede" and its associated marks belong to the atelier and are not licensed to partners. Partners may not use the Ede name or marks in product names, listings, packaging or advertising, and may not register or imitate them. Products are sold under the partner's own brand or unbranded, never under the Ede name.
Pricing
13.1 — Partner pricing. All partner prices are fixed per product family and published on each product page. Dropship pricing applies to single-pair orders. Carton pricing applies from one full carton — ten pairs of shoes or six pairs of boots — and takes $10 off every pair.
| Product family | Single pair | Carton | Min. advertised |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loafers, oxfords, flats, ballet flats | $99 | $89 | $140 |
| Penny loafers, sneakers, moccasins, boat shoes | $109 | $99 | $155 |
| Chelsea boots, chukkas | $119 | $109 | $170 |
| Ankle & tall boots | $129 | $119 | $200 |
13.2 — Minimum advertised price. Where permitted by applicable law, our Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) policy applies to publicly advertised prices on every channel. The policy is published on the Dropshipping Program page and applied unilaterally and evenly to all partners. You remain free to set your own final selling price.
13.3 — Currency and validity. All prices are in USD. Price changes are announced to active partners at least 30 days in advance and never apply to orders already confirmed.
Liability
Our liability on any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for your lost profits, your platform account standing, or claims arising from your own listings and representations to your customers.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, USA. Disputes are first addressed in good faith between the parties. We update these terms as the program evolves; the version published on this page, dated at the top, applies to new orders from that date.
