How It Works
The Buyer Services program is a purchasing service, NOT a design service. The opportunity allows for the procurement of a minimal amount of items in a limited shopping time frame. Room/home design services are not offered. The benefits of the Buyer Services program are access to designer product at the designer net rate plus a nominal mark-up to the Buyer Services Representative for his/her time and service.
Upon completion and submission of the online request form, the Buyer Services Representative will contact you with an initial telephone "meet & greet" at no charge, explaining how the service and fee structure works. You are encouraged to be prepared with information as to the product(s) you wish to purchase, measurements of space, paint/fabric swatches, etc.
Once the criteria for the Buyer Services program is confirmed, you will meet with the Buyer Services Representative at L.A. Mart® Design Center for an on-site consultation at no charge, which includes an hour of shopping for the desired item(s).
Product purchased within the first hour of shopping is at the designer net rate plus a 20% Purchasing Service Fee to the Buyer Services Representative.
Product purchased after the first hour up through the term of the second hour is at the designer net rate plus a 25% Purchasing Service Fee to the Buyer Services Representative.
Should the consultation/shopping period move beyond the term of the second hour, the Buyer Services Program terminates, along with all associated services and benefits. You will have the option to transition to a designer/client relationship and can continue with the Buyer Services Representative as his/her personal design client and in accordance with his/her company's fees and policies. Or, you may select an alternate from our Designer Portfolios listing.
