Stone Veneer Minimum Order Amounts

When shopping our manufactured stone veneer, you might notice that we have minimum order quantities (MOQs) in place. This is a common practice across the building materials industry, and while it might seem restrictive at first glance, there are good reasons behind it that help ensure you get the best value, and delivery experience possible. Here’s why minimum order quantities matter, and how they ultimately benefit your project.

What are minimum order quantities?

A minimum order quantity is the smallest amount of stone veneer you can purchase in a single order, designed to ensure you receive enough material for a practical, real-world project. For most of our products, this quantity is determined by the total square footage you’ll need or by the number of boxes required to cover a standard installation area, such as a fireplace surround, accent wall, or exterior facade. This approach helps keep your project consistent in color and texture, while also making the ordering process more cost-effective and efficient. By setting these minimums, we can better serve your project needs and maintain the quality and appearance of your finished space.

Why do we require MOQs for stone veneer?

Shipping efficiency and damage prevention are important reasons behind our minimum order quantities. Manufactured stone veneer is heavy and fragile, and shipping very small quantities simply isn’t practical. Orders below the MOQ can end up loosely packed, which increases the risk of breakage during transit. By requiring larger, palletized quantities, we can secure the stone veneer more effectively for LTL (Less Than Truckload) delivery, helping it arrive safely and in perfect condition. Additionally, minimum order quantities provide cost savings for you. Small orders can become disproportionately expensive once you factor in production setup, packaging, and freight shipping fees. By spreading these fixed costs over a larger volume, MOQs keep product pricing competitive and ensure you get better overall value for your project.

What if you need less than the MOQ?

If your project is smaller than our minimum order quantity, the best option is to shop locally for the stone veneer you need. Local building supply stores, specialty masonry shops, or landscape centers often stock individual boxes or smaller quantities that are perfect for minor repairs, small accent areas, or DIY projects. Ordering directly from us is perfect for projects that meet our minimum order quantities, however, for smaller jobs, buying locally can help you avoid excess material, minimize your cost, and give you faster access to just the amount you need.

Our minimum order quantities are designed to keep shipping efficient, safe, and offer the best possible value. While they might feel limiting at first, they reduce the risk of damage during transit, and help lower costs by shipping in secure, palletized loads. For smaller projects, shopping locally can be a practical solution to get exactly what you need without meeting the MOQ. Whether you’re tackling a large exterior facade or a small interior feature, we’re here to help you plan confidently and bring your design vision to life with beautiful, durable stone veneer.
