A meat shop sells by the kilogram, over the counter, to anyone who walks in. A wholesale depot sells by the case, to businesses and to anyone buying in volume: shops, restaurants, canteens, shawarma outlets, sausage makers. carne.md is the second kind — the wholesale meat shop of Melion-Prim SRL, the official importer and distributor of Qualiko (MHP) in Moldova, with a warehouse in Chișinău and a minimum order of 70 kg. If you arrived here searching for a “meat shop”, this is what buying from a wholesale depot actually means.
How does a wholesale depot differ from a shop?
- Sales are by the case, not by the piece. The weight of the case depends on the product and is stated on each product page: 7.2 kg for chilled trays, 10–20 kg for most frozen items.
- There is a minimum order. Ours is 70 kg, but it can be made up of several products in the same delivery.
- The price is confirmed, not read off a label. Our sales team confirms the price, stock and delivery time before delivery; the order becomes firm only after confirmation.
- The goods come to you. Delivery by refrigerated transport, with an unbroken cold chain, is the rule; collection from the warehouse is arranged separately.
- There is no basket and no online payment. On the website you see the catalogue; orders are placed by phone, by messenger or through the form.
Who does a wholesale depot work for?
For people who buy meat to sell it or to cook it for others: shops and butchers, restaurants and HoReCa, shawarma outlets and pizzerias, canteens and caterers, sausage makers who work to a meat-to-fat ratio. What matters to them is something a retail shop does not offer: a case format that suits the shelf or the kitchen, door-to-door delivery with a cold chain, and a contact person who confirms the price and stock on every order.
What will you find in the warehouse?
The range is built around Qualiko chicken, but it does not stop there:
- Qualiko chicken, chilled and frozen: whole birds, legs, thighs, drumsticks, wings, breast and fillet, offal;
- pork, chilled and frozen, from collar and loin to ribs and half carcasses;
- frozen beef: steaks, tenderloin, ossobuco, tongue;
- frozen turkey: breast, thighs, drumsticks, wings, mince and offal;
- semi-finished products: nuggets, patties, breaded sticks, marinated skewers and wings, plus products from our own dinProvincie brand;
- offal from chicken, pork, turkey and beef, gathered on a single page.
Some items, especially pork, beef and turkey, carry the note “Check stock with our sales team” on their product page: their availability is confirmed on every order.
How to order, step by step
- Choose from the catalogue the items and the format: chilled or frozen, tray, bag or case.
- Send your request through the order request form or call +373 79 88 33 79; you can also message us on WhatsApp, Viber or Telegram on the same number.
- Get confirmation: our sales team tells you the current price, the stock and the delivery time.
- The order becomes firm after confirmation and leaves the warehouse by refrigerated transport.
- Receive the goods: check the packaging and the temperature at unloading. Returns are not accepted, so it is worth clarifying over the phone exactly which format you need.
Details on invoicing, payment and samples are in our guide ordering wholesale meat.
What to prepare before your first call
- the list of items and the format of each (chilled or frozen, tray, bag or case);
- the estimated quantity per week or per month;
- your town and delivery address;
- your company details, if you need an invoice.
With these four things our sales team can confirm everything in a single call.
Delivery or collection from the warehouse?
The warehouse is at str. Valea Bîcului 9, Chișinău. In the city we usually deliver within 24–48 hours; delivery costs 100 lei and is free over 150 kg. We also deliver across Moldova — the cost and timing for your town are confirmed when you order, and how delivery to the regions is organised is explained in our article on delivery across Moldova.
We publish no fixed rule for collection: it is agreed per order, depending on the item and availability. From the moment you collect, the cold chain is down to your vehicle, so come prepared for chilled or frozen goods. The address, map and opening hours are on the delivery and warehouse page.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri 9:00–17:00, Sat 9:00–14:00, Sun closed. We reply by phone to requests sent through the form, within these hours.
How to read the prices in the catalogue
Where a product page shows a wholesale price per kilogram, it includes VAT, is indicative and carries the date it was updated; for fixed-weight packs you also see the price per pack. Where a product page has no price, it says “Price on request”. Either way, the final price is confirmed by our sales agent, together with the stock — prices change from one delivery to the next.
