Frequently asked questions
Where are the wholesale markets for imported food and goods in Vancouver?
Main Street Punjabi Market (VERIFIED); Little India in Newton, Surrey (VERIFIED); Vancouver Produce / Malkin Ave wholesale district (ASSUMPTION).
Can you deliver cotton bed linen door-to-door in Vancouver?
Yes on DAP terms through partner forwarders, provided the importer of record in Canada handles customs clearance.
Does a higher thread count mean better sheets?
Not always. Yarn quality (long-staple, combed) and weave matter as much. Very high counts often use multi-ply yarns.
Percale or sateen?
Percale is a plain weave: crisp and cool. Sateen is a satin weave: smoother with a sheen, slightly warmer.
