Hi.
I’m trying to get ungated in the toy category. EE distribution was suggested to be a good site to look for different options. However you most become a member first before they let you see the actual price as a whole seller. To become a member they have this application you have to submit for them to approved. In this application they requiere a SELLERS PERMIT # which I don’t have.
How can I go about this or is there any other suggested retailer where I could get ungated from without having to provide this type of information.
They also ask in the shipping section about a SHIPPING ACCOUNT NUMBER that we have to provide to as well but again I don’t have that one either so what can I do.
Thank you for your help .
They do that because the pricing is not competitive. Typical ploy used to attach you to their company. If they had decent prices they would show them to you. Never heard of that company until now, if they actually did have prices low enough to sell on amazon you will see all the detail pages loaded up with sellers.
We get catalogs from companies that claim to be “wholesale”, much of the stuff they have I can walk into a chain store and by for the same price or less sometimes. What ever they are doing is working, been getting a catalog from one of them for at least ten years. Never have purchased from them, I learned my lesson well with that. Not sure who buys it, I can buy much of it from amazon and have delivered free…

I’ve used them.

Member is not the correct word. It’s not like a secret club. And, they do show just below retail pricing on their site without having to sign in.

They are MEGA wholesalers. You are applying to purchase from them wholesale. This is the same application you’d have to fill out to apply for a wholesale account from a toy manufacturer.

You must not do business with USA manufacturers and/or wholesale distributors. They are not asking for a SELLERS PERMIT, they are asking you for your RESELLER license. That is your Tax ID. They ask for that so that you can purchase products tax free.

You need to read that again. They are asking if you want to use your own shipping account. You don’t have one, and neither do I. They will just charge you freight.
