💡 Pro Tip: Use your previous year’s install data to forecast what you’ll need. Order conservatively, but don’t forget to factor in growth.
How the Ordering Process Works
1. Select Your Products
Browse the BSL Direct Collection or look for the Preorder label. Add products to your quote cart.

- Want more than 56 cases? Just add another pallet
Don’t stress if you make a mistake—our team reviews every order with you before it’s final.
3. Submit & Pay
- Submit your quote
- We review & confirm with you
- Pay 50% deposit to begin production
- Pay balance (remaining 50% + shipping) 4 weeks after factory completion
