We export your stock to the markets that pay more — and sell it to the highest bidder.

Apply with stock you've already listed. QwikStone offers the price we expect to fetch abroad, a broker checks the stock at your yard, we collect it, ship it and run the bidding while it's on the water. You don't chase buyers, containers or payments.

Good to know

What you hand over — and what you don't

  • QwikStone handles the export paperwork, container, freight, insurance, port and the buyers.
  • You keep your listing until you accept our offer — nothing changes before that.
  • Sealed at pickup: the broker report fixes the quantity and the reserve price, so buyers bid on exactly what's in the container.
  • If it doesn't sell above the reserve, we tell you the options before anything else happens — sell it at the port market, or bring it back.
Best for

Stock that sells better abroad

Full blocks of book-matched marble, exotic quartzite, granite in container lots, onyx and travertine — stone that importers in the US, UK, Europe, Mexico and Brazil pay more for than buyers near you.

Questions

Merchandising FAQ

Which plan do I need?

Merchandising comes with the International and Premium plans. QwikStone does the export, so you don't need export registrations of your own.

When am I paid?

After the sale closes and the buyer pays. QwikStone pays you the sale price minus the regular marketplace fee.

Can I change the price after pickup?

No — the quantity and reserve are sealed at pickup so buyers bid on a fixed lot. Before you accept our offer you can change anything.

Who arranges freight and the broker check?

QwikStone arranges both. Our offer shows exactly what you receive before you accept, so there are no surprises later.

Have stock that would sell better abroad?

Apply with a listing — we'll come back with the price we expect to fetch.
