Purchases are shipped directly from the supplier to the buyer and Tundra does not take any markup on the products. If there are any issues with a product, it will be covered by the warranty offered by the supplier and displayed on the product page. Tundra handles the shipment of the replacement goods.

Insurance is an included option at checkout that buyers can select / unselect to cover their order in case there is damage or loss during transport.
Suppliers can choose what type and duration of warranty coverage to offer their buyers and the coverage is stated on the product’s page.

Shameless plug: we are working on this at Tundra (http://www.tundra.com) for global B2B e-commerce and logistics. We allow suppliers to easily sell their products to other businesses.
You need a US bank account to receive transfers in USD. It will be great when Stripe allows non-US companies to receive USD without requiring conversion to another currency.
