Try it on your counter first. Then buy it outright.
Sniffybar is an impulse buy that sits beside your till and does not need explaining twice. We hold the stock in Auckland, so there is no import wait and no container minimum. Approved New Zealand stores start with a 20-unit trial box on sale-or-return and a free A5 counter stand. Once you know it moves, you switch to normal wholesale — you buy the stock, you set your own shelf price, and whatever you make on top is yours.
Nothing to pay to try it
The first 20-unit box is sale-or-return. You pay for what sold; unsold stock in saleable condition comes back to us. After that, wholesale is bought outright.
Free counter stand
An A5 branded countertop stand, about half the size of an A4 sheet, holding the box beside your till. Supplied free while you stock us.
Stock is in Auckland
No container minimums, no six-week import wait. Top-ups go out on NZ Post within 2 business days.
How the starter programme works
Built for convenience stores, dairies, service stations, gyms, barbers and cafes — anywhere with a counter and a queue.
Tell us about your store
Where you are, what type of store, and roughly how much foot traffic you get. Use the form below or just email us.
We send a 20-unit starter box
One box of 20 units with the counter display stand, plus a one-page guide on what to say when a customer asks what it is.
Six weeks later, we settle up
You pay for what sold and return the rest. If it moved, your next order is normal wholesale — paid up front, and the margin is yours to set.
What is in the starter box
Everything you need to put it on the counter the day it arrives.
| Item | What it is | Cost to you |
|---|---|---|
| 20 units | A mixed selection from the eight scents we stock, so you can see what your customers actually reach for. | Payable at the six-week review, for what sold |
| Counter display stand | A5 branded countertop stand, about half an A4 sheet. Sized for the 20-unit box and fits beside a till without taking a footprint. | Free while you stock us |
| Counter card | A small printed card answering the one question every customer asks: “is that a vape?” | Free |
| Staff one-pager | Ten seconds of script. What it is, what it is not, who buys it, and what not to claim about it. | Free |
| Marketing guidance | Shelf placement, what to post on your own social media, and which claims you must avoid under the Fair Trading Act. | Free |
Wholesale pricing and the review period are confirmed in writing before anything ships. We do not publish trade pricing on this page.
Why it works on a counter
The honest version, not the pitch version.
It is an impulse price
At $18 retail it is a decision people make while their card is already out. It does not compete for the considered-purchase budget.
It is small, it does not expire quickly, and it does not need refrigeration or a power point.
It sells to people who are already awake at odd hours
Drivers, night-shift workers, students, gym-goers, tradies starting at 6am. If that describes your customers, it fits your counter.
New Zealand already has nasal inhalers on shelves, but they are almost all positioned around blocked noses. This one is not.
The terms, plainly
Sale-or-return is a real commitment on both sides, so here is exactly what it means before you ask for a box.
Who can join
Physical retail premises in New Zealand with a New Zealand business number. This programme is for New Zealand stores only — we do not supply overseas retailers, and we do not supply online-only resellers at this stage.
This is an 18+ product. The pack is labelled not suitable for persons under 18 years. Your staff must not sell it to anyone under 18, and that responsibility sits with your store the same way it does for any age-restricted line on your counter.
What sale-or-return actually means
This applies to your first 20-unit box only. The stock stays ours until it sells. You are holding it on our behalf, and you pay us for the units that sold at the six-week review.
Unsold units go back to us in saleable condition — unopened, undamaged, original packaging. Units that cannot be resold are invoiced to you at the wholesale price.
After the trial, wholesale works the normal way: you buy the stock outright, we invoice on order, and the stock is yours. There is no sale-or-return on ongoing wholesale orders.
Counting and reconciliation
We agree a review date when the box ships. On that date you tell us the count, we invoice for what sold, and you either reorder or return the balance.
Keep the units in the display stand rather than loose behind the counter. It makes the count take two minutes instead of twenty, and it is the reason the stand is free.
The display stand
Supplied free and remains our property while you stock us. If you stop stocking, we collect it or you return it with the unsold units. There is no charge for normal wear.
What you must not say about the product
This matters, and it is not us being precious. Sniffybar is a scent product, not a medicine. Neither we nor you can advertise it as relieving congestion, treating tiredness, or helping any medical condition — that risks bringing it under the Medicines Act, and misleading claims breach the Fair Trading Act 1986.
Describe it as a scent. “Not a vape, no nicotine, you just smell it” is accurate and it is what actually sells it. The staff one-pager covers this in full.
Restocking and top-ups
Email or text us and it goes out on NZ Post within 2 business days. Because the stock is held in Auckland there is no import lead time. You are not locked into a minimum reorder.
Reorders are bought outright and paid on invoice. You set your own shelf price — there is no minimum advertised price and we do not police what you charge.
What we ask of you
Put it where people queue, not on a back shelf. Keep the counter card with it. Tell us honestly what sold and what did not — a store that reports “nobody asked” is more useful to us than one that says nothing.
Everything above is confirmed in a written agreement before stock ships. Nothing on this page is an offer or a contract, and terms may differ by store type and location.

Tell us these five things
- Your store name and street address
- Store type — convenience, dairy, service station, gym, cafe, other
- Your NZBN
- Roughly how many customers through the door on an average day
- Whether you already stock anything similar — energy drinks, Poy Sian inhalers, breath products
That button opens your email app with the five questions already filled in. Prefer to talk? Say so in the email and we will call you.
