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. 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) 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. 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.
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.
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! 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. A:
A retailer is a dealer / outlet
that sells to anyone. Examples include:
Circuit
City, Best Buy, The good guys, Audio Express etc..... A:
see " what is a retailer" above. 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. 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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" A:
Volume means quantity. The larger
the volume, the larger the quantity. A:
An importer is a large warehouse that
brings in its merchandise from outside of the United
States. 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” 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. A:
See “purchase order” above A:
A purchase order number
is the number assigned to the purchase order for record keeping
by the stereo shop and the supplier. 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. 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. 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. 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 “ A:
For information about business
licensing, contact your state capital. They can best assist
you. Or click here
for help. A: A EIN = Employer Identification Number and is issued by the IRS.
