Makara-led proposal · Pacific Northwest · Alaska · Hawaii
Makara Puppy and Adult can be reviewed through IPS's selective vendor process. Aquanix is available for stores in the network that operate an aquarium category.
01 / why this makes sense
IPS emphasizes product knowledge and vendor training. Makara's story is suitable for a compact education-led pilot once nutrition, labeling and landed economics are approved.
Independent Pet Supply is a family-owned distributor serving independent retailers across the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Hawaii, with a stated focus on quality pet products.
02 / proposed range
Offer Aquanix branded fish food to interested aquarium retailers, or develop a private-label/custom formula and pack-size brief where IPS sees a real gap.
Lead with the two Makara life-stage products shown on the brand site. Supply full specification, samples and compliant U.S. materials for IPS review.
03 / commercial route
Our prices are quoted with CIF included. The final quote names the port and agreed delivery terms.
Our team coordinates customs clearance so receiving is straightforward for the distributor.
Product is delivered to the agreed warehouse, with importer, duty and tax treatment written into the quotation.
Commercial terms, importer of record, duties and taxes are confirmed in writing before an order. No price, margin, MOQ or production lead time is assumed here.
04 / illustrative pilot
Illustrative pilot: 12 independent stores in one IPS territory, Makara Puppy and Adult, staff briefing and a 60-day reorder review.
Pilot quantities are discussion examples only; they are not a sales forecast or commitment.
05 / decision path
Choose the retailer channel and first category to test.
Assess samples, specifications and the proposed assortment.
Confirm artwork, nutrition copy, claims and U.S. label review.
Agree MOQ, CIF pricing, clearance and warehouse destination.
Launch the limited test, then review orders and feedback.
IPS's public portfolio does not establish fish-food demand; Aquanix needs account-level validation.
06 / U.S. conversation
We currently work with a U.S. partner in New York. Morpheus PD supports product evaluation and commercial launch discussions; a base sample is available in New York where relevant.
