You can pay by credit card on items you want. But they will charge you to setup a dropship account and verify your address. That is why they want buisness address information. Thier courier actually verifies the existing address for them.
I pay by credit card. Heck its not that hard to have an account with them. They make it look hard but they dont care as much as they act.
My next door neighbor has an account with them and hes a complete idiot. He has a registered buisness as a Car accessory installer but He has no business or storefront. He buys for personal use only.
I agree, hope your neighbor doesn't read......
I actually haven't applied to they're campany, myself I have access to an account through my work. But I was thinking about using them, but once I saw they're requirements, I decided not to waiste my time.
When I had my own personal company, not online, I had to develop credit with company's just to establish an account with them, and these vendors did require all the fullfilment agreements be met. I know that alot multi-directional wholesalers don't hold people to the requirements. All you need do, is talk with them and they will work with you to get an account.
Larger distributors will not do this. Over the years I have worked with Fender, Yamaha, Kenwood, Motorola, Gibson, Marshall, just to name a few and none of these dealers or manufacturers will sell to just anyone. In fact most will require you establish 100,000.00 inventorys.
But I have worked with smaller wholesalers that still require alot of these same requirements, Coast wholesale is one.
I also have worked most of my life in the arcade video game industry, and many of these wholesalers will sell to individuals but only after you establish credit with them. They usually require cash deposits. But eventually, they will sell you one game at a time.
Needless to say, there isn't a break on the price.
