  • If I receive an error message while placing my order, what should I do?
    Identify the type of error message:
    • CVC2/CVV2 -- Be sure that you entered the correct three-digit code located on the signature strip on the back of your credit card.
    • Card Did Not Meet Checksum Test -- You may have incorrectly entered your account number. Common mistakes include transposing numbers or leaving out numbers.

    We will contact you if your order contains backordered or discontinued products that were just sold out.
    If the product has been discontinued, your order will automatically be cancelled.
    If the product has been backordered, we will let you know how long it will take to come back into stock and it will be your choice to either cancel the order or keep it open.
  • Do I need a membership to order?
    Hiolo does not require any membership fees or registrations to order.
  • What licenses and permits do I need to provide to buy wholesale from you?
    Each city and state has its own requirements for doing business. As long as you fulfil your local requirements, you can purchase from Hiolo.
  • Do you drop ship?
    Yes, we can drop ship a case of any product; however, we do not private label our packages or blind ship.
  • Shipping

  • Do you ship to Canada or Outside the USA?
    We only ship to the USA (48 contiguous states). We have no plans to ship internationally.
  • What are your Shipping Costs and Timing?
    Our system automatically calculates shipping costs at checkout. Prices vary depending on locations and size of the order. All orders usually ship within 24-48 hours and arrive within 5-10 working days.
  • I need my order ASAP. Can I pay for Overnight, One or Two Day Shipping Options?
    We do not offer alternative Shipping Options. All orders are shipped with our Standard UPS Ground Service. Please allow 5-10 days for delivery of your order.
  • Do you plan to offer Fast Shipping Options?
    Due to the way we work and the large amount of orders placed every day, it is not possible for us to offer other shipping services. All orders must undergo specific security checks and then follow the queueing process within our distribution channel for picking/packing and shipping.
  • When will my products arrive?
    Hiolo processes all orders within 24 - 48 hours of placement. The time it takes to arrive depends on how close you are to the shipping warehouse. We'll let you know this when your goods have shipped.
    In our experience, UPS ground freight usually takes 5-10 business days to move product across the country. So if you live in NY and the goods are coming from CA, plan on a two week delivery time. If you live in Indiana and the goods are coming from Chicago, plan on just a few days delivery time. In general, delivery takes up to 10 business days after receipt of order.
    Orders travelling from more than one shipping point or involving backordered products may increase actual delivery time. Orders over 500 pounds may also take longer for delivery.
  • Payments

  • What methods of payment do you accept?
    Hiolo accepts American Express, Mastercard, Visa, and Discover credit and debit cards through our PayPal Gateway.
  • Do you offer payment terms?
    Hiolo does not offer special payment terms as all orders must be paid in full at time of the order. See Payment Methods.

    Yes, all credit card transactions are 128 bit SSL encrypted and secured. The customer service reps do not have access to your credit card information.
  • Products

  • Are the pictures on your website the exact items I am ordering?
    Hiolo strives to provide accurate images of all products sold on its site. Please refer to our product descriptions for further information on colour, size, and style.
  • How can I get a printed catalogue of your all your products?
    We do not print a catalogue because we use the Internet as our virtual catalogue. We add 300 new products every day and take off around 150 discontinued or sold out items, so if we printed a paper catalog, it would be out of date within 3 days. With close to 50,000 different products, the Internet is the perfect virtual catalogue for Hiolo.
  • Is all your merchandise listed on your site?
    Yes, but if you're looking for a specific product or product line that you would like us to carry, we encourage you to let us know by e-mailing us from the contact us link.
  • How can I search for a specific product?
    • Keyword Search -- Allows you to search for products by typing in a keyword on any search box of the Hiolo's website. If you are having trouble getting the search results you want, you may consider the following search tips:
      • Try different search words because there are many words to describe the products for which you are searching.
      • Rather than being too specific, be a little more general.
      • Shorten the number of words in the search box to 1 or 2 words.
    • Refined Search -- If you get more results than you care to page through, you can refine your results with the list of options down the left side of the page.
