Q: How do I get started?

A: In order to resell Little Forest products, you may want to get a seller's permit from your state tax board. If you do not have a sellers permit on file with us, you will be charged tax on the FULL RETAIL price of what you order. Residents in all states will need to get a Seller's Permit / Sales Tax Number from your local State Revenue Board. For a list of State Revenue Boards please go to: http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/smallbiz/practitioner/governmentsites.aspx or contact us directly 415.601.9669. Without this permit we will have to charge full retail price and sales tax on all Little Forest Product orders we fill. Once you have obtained this permit, we require that you fax or mail us a copy for our records. You will need this permit in order to properly collect sales tax from your customers and to report your income.

Some states will also require that you get a business license in order to sell products to the general public. Business licenses are obtained through your county or city government agencies (City Hall). The IRS has a great website that can walk you through all of the appropriate steps to setting up your own business: http://www.irs.gov/smallbiz/newbusiness/index.aspx.

Of course you will need to report this income when you file your taxes. For questions on reporting this income please go to www.irs.gov, or call 800-829-1040.

We suggest you consult your own professional legal and tax advisors regarding these important matters. Little Forest does not provide legal or tax advice.

Q: Are there order minimums?

A: No! Your annual membership fee is what determines if your account is active or not.

Q: What if a retail store is interested in buying Little Forest products?

A: At this time, Little Forest is focusing entirely on our Parent to Parent network to actively sell its products directly to consumers. Please do not approach any retail stores.

Q: What if one of my customers wants to return their products? What is the return policy?

A: Little Forest always stands behind our product 100% and will issue a complete refund for any product returned by the consumer within 30 days after shipment. Simply refund the customer's money, take back the product in question, and call Little Forest to credit your account. Little Forest does request that you notify us of the customer return within 30 days of that return in order for us to credit your account. Independent Consultant accounts will only be eligible for credit if Little Forest is notified in writing of the return within 30 days of that return. See the return policy.

Q: What if I decide I no longer want to be an Independent Consultant?

A: If you decide you no longer want to sell Little Forest products at any time you can arrange to get an RA # (Return Authorization Number) with Little Forest to return your current unused/unsold inventory, and receive a refund for 80% of its purchase price (to allow for restocking). Little Forest will allow Independent Consultants to return this inventory for a refund within the first 30 days of their termination date. Unfortunately we cannot issue refunds for products returned after 30 days from termination date. The Independent Consultant must pay the shipping costs to return the inventory to Little Forest, LLC.
