| Q: | Since you refer me to other
sites to see the actual products, why can't I just buy wholesale from them and save the money
I would be paying you? |
|---|---|
| A: | In order to get the best price, you have to register with the factory or wholesaler as a
distributor. To do that, you must have your own state tax number (if you live in a state
that requires that), your own business, and in many cases your own federal EIN number. In
addition to that, some sources require a commitment for a certain amount of sales annually.
Finally, there's the research time needed. Sure, you could have me do the research and
then sign up as a distributor. But let's be candid. If I find I am doing a lot of
research for a member that never buys anything, how much incentive do I have to keep
doing the research? The bottom line is that I can sell to you for less than the price
shown on the factory or wholesaler site (because they show a retail price), save you money,
and still make a little myself. I call that a win-win situation. |
| Q: | What if I find an item I want to buy but
the wholesaler or factory doesn't ship to my location? |
| A: | That is one of the key benefits of using this service. You're right. Some factories and
wholesalers don't ship outside the U.S. In some cases, they don't ship out of the
contiguous 48 states! If there is such a shipping restriction that affects you, we will
work together to get the item shipped to you anywhere in the world. For example, I may
have it shipped to me, then turn around and ship it to you (because we ship worldwide).
In fact, if I think the item is a hot seller because many members are interested, I may
buy the item in quantity, thus reducing the overall shipping cost and pass the savings on
to you! |
| Q: | How come, in some cases, your price is
higher than what I saw on the wholesaler's website? |
| A: | In those cases, I determined that I could save you money by buying the item in quantity
and shipping it at a lower cost. In all cases, I try to reduce the final amount you pay
which includes shipping and handling. When you see a higher price, be assured that the
final price is lower when taking into account the shipping and handling. My commitment is
to provide the products you want and save you money. |
