If
you are new to the electronics industry:
Our
staff compiled this new question and answer outline, so the new dealers can
brush up on the terms used in our industry.
Ready
to get started.
Q: What is a manufacturer?
A:
A manufacturer is the maker of the brand. Most
manufacturers of mobile electronics reside in China
& Korea. (Although some of the better brands do manufacture here
in the USA)
Q: What is a distributor?
A:
A distributor is a privately owned mass supplier to
the dealers. The distributor has massive buying power and stocks each
electronics item in large quantities.
Most
wholesale electronics distributors here in the USA sell at the same "dealer
price" that the actual manufacturer does. The distributors function is to
supply the electronics goods at a closer proximity without a price increase to
the licensed dealer. Keep in mind, using "will-call" is a way to
save $$. Simply search for the distributors in your state after completion
of your membership. You will save tons on shipping - by picking up the orders
yourself. ( will-call )
There
are over 145 massive 50,000 SQ Foot wholesale electronics
warehouses across the United States. Chances are there are many near you.
Remember, these companies only sell to licensed retailers / dealers /
internet sellers / etc.
Q: What is a drop shipper?
A:
A drop shipper is a wholesale distributor that is
willing to ship to more than 1 location for you. A drop ship
distributor will ship anything to anyone, any state.
You
pay for the product, they ship it directly to your customer. You never
touch the product. This saves on shipping costs, therefore increasing your
profit potential.
Q: What makes a company a "real wholesaler"
A:
ALL real wholesalers require a valid tax
i.d. and or business license from all applicants. Real wholesale distributors
will clearly mark their sites and catalogs with
"Wholesale
sales only to dealers" A real wholesale distributor will never
sell to the general public. Your wholesale sources remain
confidential.
Q: What is a factory rep?
A:
A factory rep is the guy who calls on the dealers for
the manufacturers. He sells and trains the dealers. All
manufacturers have "reps"
We
list all 12 volt reps here in the United States within the main Wholesale
Audio Club Logged In Section. You will only need to deal with the factory
rep when you buy direct and not through a wholesale distributor.
Q:
What are trade shows?
A:
A trade show is the place where all of the
manufacturers show their new products to the dealers and the wholesale
distributors. Each year there are several confidential trade shows
for the consumer electronics industry. You must be a licensed dealer at
least,.. to attend these shows. We of course list all of the best trade
shows for the consumer electronics industry within the logged in section of the
main club site. You will have access within a few hours of activation.
Call and reserve your hotel room for the winter consumer electronics show!
See ya there!
What are trade schools?
A:
Trade schools are schools / colleges / that
provide education on specific trades. Of course we list all of the trade
schools for mobile electronics here in the USA
- within the logged in section of the main club site. There are many schools
providing classes on mobile electronics / car audio installation and sales.
Q: What is a retailer?
A:
A retailer is a dealer / outlet that
sells to anyone. Examples include: Circuit
City, Best Buy, The good guys, Audio Express etc.....
Q: What is a dealer?
A:
see " what is a retailer" above.
Q: What is a master distributor?
A:
A master distributor is also known as a "parallel
distributor" These companies carry double quantities as well as
have the "harder to locate brands"
A
master distributor can also be simply a "large scale"
distributor. They buy in massive 60 Ft. Container lots and offer amazingly
low wholesale prices. Wholesale Audio Club uncovers the real
master-wholesalers of car and some home audio here in the United States. We make
it easy for the small dealer to plug in to where the big boys buy their goods.
Get ready to take your business to the next level and beyond.
Q: What is e-bay?
A:
E-Bay is an auction house. Small dealers
and private sellers list their goods for sale to the highest bidder. Our
members have much more success selling through custom web sites, although if
done right, you can make thousands on e-bay. Its all about
finding nitch products. It can be done,....however, we suggest
selling through small shops, and custom web sites made for selling audio.
The flea market, local high schools..... are also great places to sell
audio & electronics.
Q: Why sell electronics?
A:
Billions are spent each year on consumer electronics.
Do you know anyone who doesn’t own a stereo? Why not sell things people
need and use. Everyone uses audio & electronics items!
Plus, you love electronics too right? Go ahead and put some of
those profits in your pocket.
Q: What does net-30 mean?
A:
Net-30 is where you buy products on credit
throughout the month and the distributor sends you a bill for the entire
months purchases. N-30 = net 30 days
Q: What is COD?
A:
COD means Cash On Delivery.
UPS offers COD services for mail order dealers who will ship the
oder to the customer and have them pay UPS upon delivery of the item. Then
UPS sends you the check or money order.
Q: What is an open account?
A:
see ( Net-30 ) above. An open
account is where you buy on credit from the distributor. You
will be invoiced monthly for your purchases. You must apply
for any and all net-30 or open terms.
Q: What does pre-paid shipping mean?
A:
Pre-Paid shipping means that you have reached the
desired volume or dollar amount to qualify for the order to be shipped
"Pre-Paid Freight" the distributor is paying for the shipping.
Usually this happens at the $2,500 level.
Q: What is a container?
A:
A container is a "Railway Container"
these are the big shipping containers you see on the railroad lines. Large
volume distributors and retailers order in this way.
There
are 40 Foot and 60 Foot rail containers.
Q: What is a skid?
A:
A skid is a pallet of merchandise found in a wholesale
warehouse. Usually a skid will be shrink wrapped and ready for transport.
If you can, its best to buy "a skid" at a time from the larger
wholesalers. You will receive discounts based on volume orders. Every
wholesaler will offer additional discounts based on larger volume quantities.
It
is not necessary to buy "skids"
Q: What does volume order mean?
A:
Volume means quantity. The larger the volume,
the larger the quantity.
Q: What is an importer?
A:
An importer is a large warehouse that brings in its
merchandise from outside of the United
States.
What is a parallel distributor?
A:
A (parallel) Distributor is a wholesale distributor
known for carrying brands that can only be purchased parallel through
other mass merchants. In other words, they are not direct with the
manufacturer. Often the warranty from such distributors is “repair
only”
What does purchase order mean?
A:
Purchase order means to place an order for purchase.
The “buyer” of the electronics store usually generates store purchase orders
to be filled by the various wholesale distributors.
What is a PO ?
A:
See “purchase order” above
What is a Purchase Order Number?
A:
A purchase order number is the
number assigned to the purchase order for record keeping by the stereo
shop and the supplier.
What is an RMA ?
A:
RMA = Return Merchandise
Authorization It is customary to receive a RMA reference
number from your supplier prior to sending any merchandise back for repair
or re-stock.
Why do I need an RMA?
A:
Most all wholesalers / distributors &
manufacturers require a RMA prior to acceptance of your return. If
you send something back without a RMA, its likely it won’t be processed.
What is a tax i.d. ?
A:
A tax id is a number that is assigned to
you by the federal government. This number gives you the right to buy at
wholesale with no sales tax.
What is a business license?
A:
A business license is a license issued to you by your
state. This gives you the legal ability to buy & re-sell items as a
“ business “
Where can I get a Tax i.d. or Business license?
A:
For information about business licensing,
contact your state capital. They can best assist you. Or click here
for help.

for it and what you sold it for.

A:
Billions of dollars each year are spent on
consumer electronics. All you need is a little slice of that pie!

friends, through your garage, through a small or large store,

Q&A about wholesale audio
club:
Q:
How is Wholesale Audio Club different from all the other wholesale
companies on the internet?
A:
The answer is simple. Most
of the other "wholesale offers"
online are available to the general public.
With
these other so called wholesale companies,
there is no separation between wholesaler, dealer, and the end user
(consumer).
Real
wholesalers will only sell B2B (
Business to Business ) Any
company offering "wholesale deals" that does not require a business
license or tax i.d. from you is
not a real wholesale distributor. You
have to ask yourself, "Do I
want to buy from a discounted retailer or a real master-distributor?
The answer is obvious.
With
Wholesale Audio Club, we only sell wholesale packages to licensed re-sellers.
All 145 wholesale electronics warehouses within our network require a business
license or tax i.d. from all members. There
is zero public access. This keeps the integrity in place between the true
wholesale supplier and the dealer.
Q:
Do I have to have an actual store front
in order to join Wholesale Audio Club?
A:
No. Among those that purchased
the Wholesale Packages are small to mid sized companies selling via
mail order, swap meets, internet, as well as small retail locations.
It
is not 100% necessary to have an actual store.
Q:
I have seen offers online about a CD
with 10,000
wholesale sources. What is
this all about?
A:
If you need wholesale sources for
beans, shoe laces, hay, or bulk fabrics.... the CD is for you.
If you are seeking true wholesale distributors supplying consumer
electronics products to dealers only,.... then you need Wholesale Audio Club.
Basically the "cheap" wholesale
CD's out there are garbage.
Plus,
they will sell these CD's to anyone.
The general public has access to the same information.
Q:
What are the minimum order requirements with the club and the other 145
wholesale distributors?
A:
Minimum order requirements vary by distributor. Usually the minimum order is
between 50.00 to 200.00
Q:
Are there volume discounts offered for large orders?
A:
Yes.
All distributors offer volume discounts.
Usually additional discounts apply to orders exceeding $2500
Q:
Once my company joins wholesale audio club, do we order everything through you
or do we contact the distributors directly?
A:
You may order any of the 10,000 electronics products offered directly
from the club AND you may contact
any of the 145 warehouses to buy
direct from them,… It’s up to you!
Q:
What are some of the brands we can expect to find through
this Wholesale Package ?
A:
Alpine, Kenwood, Clarion, JVC, Kicker, Rockford Fosgate, Sony, MTX, JL
Audio, Pioneer, Audiobahn and
many many more. In total,
about 30,000 electronics products
are available from over 500 top brand names.
Q:
Are there territory restrictions involved?
A: Yes,
in some cases there are territory restrictions.
However, there are over 20 master
importers & distributors that sell the top name brands with little or no
restrictions. Simply ask Dave to
help you find what you are looking for. It’s
out there!
Q:
Can wholesale audio club help me with marketing/sales
ideas & strategies?
A:
Yes. This is a big part of
our consulting service. Once you are a member,
you can call Dave Ferguson anytime
during normal business hours and he will be happy to assist you in any way he
can. Dave sold over 480,000.00
in car audio products his first year online!
Q:
What company does the club and its associates use to ship my orders?
A:
We use UPS.
You may calculate estimated shipping charges easily at the UPS web
site. www.ups.com
Most of the other distributors use either Fed-Ex or UPS.
Large orders are usually sent via
private trucking company.
Q:
Does wholesale audio club provide drop shipping?
A:
Yes. We will drop
ship any of 10,000 electronics
items anywhere in the lower continental United States
with no additional drop
ship fee.
Q:
What kind of profit margin can we
expect to make?
A:
On average, ( selling online or mail order )
the average profit margin for components
is between 25 to 50% ( to be competitive) with
accessories, the profit margin
runs between 50 and 300%
For
instance, a good set of RCA
Cables can run 18 to 35 bucks
retail. With your
wholesale audio club package,
your company will be purchasing the same RCA Cables for around 7 to 10
bucks. Sometimes, on
closeout,….. I have seen Gold 20 Ft RCA’s for under 3.00 !
Q:
Are there any pricing examples available for our review?
A:
Sure. Click
Here for a few quick
examples.
Q:
How many products are offered and which products are dropshipable?
A:
Wholesale audio club offers over 10,000 electronics products directly from us.
ALL are available to be drop shipped. There are an additional 145
wholesale warehouses shipping thousands of products.
Several do provide drop shipping services. Call Dave Ferguson for help
during normal business hours.
Q:
How long does it take to drop
ship the items that were purchased after the order was received by WSAC?
A:
Orders ship within 24 hours in most cases.
Most all wholesale distributors within the network,
ship daily. If an
item is not in stock,…. You
will be called. However,
most all items are on the shelf and ready to ship out daily.
Q: How do
we get notified when a product is out of stock or becomes on back order?
A:
You will be called or emailed. It’s
a good idea to request confirmation
on each of your purchase orders.
