Early Buy
Early Buy is MPG's seasonal reservation program. You reserve standard catalog pallets ahead of the season, at program pricing, and we produce and ship them to land in the delivery window you plan around. It is how garden centers make sure the pallets they counted on for spring or fall are actually there when the season opens.
What is in it for you
- Your pallets are reserved for you, produced for your order rather than pulled from whatever stock remains.
- Program pricing is set when you reserve, ahead of the season.
- Delivery lands inside a published window, so your spring and fall sets can be planned months out.
- Your pallets ride within MPG's container program, alongside our own warehouse orders.
The windows
Spring Early Buy: order by July 30, for delivery the following January through March.
Fall Early Buy: order by March 1, for delivery July through September.
Late Spring window: orders placed August 1 through October 30 arrive the following March to April.
Factory production takes about 45 days and ocean transit about 60 more. The deadlines exist because the calendar is real, and we would rather publish it than promise around it.
How it works
1. Get approved. Early Buy is for MPG wholesale accounts. If you are new to MPG, start with the Become a Wholesale Partner application.
2. Reserve your pallets. Choose your pallets from the catalog and place your order by the window deadline. A 10 percent down payment reserves them.
3. Receive in the window. We produce and ship your pallets to arrive inside the delivery window. A 30-day warehouse hold is available on arrival if your floor is not ready.
Good to know
Early Buy orders are standard catalog pallets. If you want a catalog pallet built in your own mix of its catalog colors, that is a Special Reserved Order, and it runs year-round. Every program is summarized on our Wholesale Programs page, and common questions are answered on our FAQ page.
