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:
