Getting Personal - Moving Supplies Wholesale Pricing Direct to the Customer
from:Unless you are part of a business it can be a daunting task to find companies willing to sell moving supplies at wholesale prices direct to an individual. Many companies refuse to let customers without a business tax identification number purchase items through them at wholesale pricing. The following is a listing of things to look for when deciding to buy from an online company who claims to offer moving supplies wholesale pricing direct to the customer.
Once you've found a company declaring that they sell moving supplies wholesale, the first thing to do is to read through the company's FAQs (frequently asked question) or their ordering information pages. This is where they will tell you whether or not they need a business identification number in order to sell you wholesale merchandise. Some company's will accept a social security number in place of a tax identification number, but check first. Remember to be cautious of giving out your social security number to unknown companies or employees.
A little note on tax identification numbers. If you do plan to start selling moving supplies and boxes on your own, you can obtain a tax identification number for under ten dollars in most areas. Check with your town and state business laws and business codes to learn how to do this.
Once you know individuals can purchase moving supplies wholesale through the company without a tax identification number you'll need to research what types of items the company offers under their wholesale category. Most sell brand new boxes and supplies. Most are of good quality and materials, though some places put economy boxes and materials under their wholesale category. A few places also list used boxes, slightly damaged boxes and supplies, and boxes returned as an unused part of a kit under their moving supplies wholesale groupings.
The third thing to look for is whether or not a company requires a minimum order purchase before allowing wholesale pricing. Some companies want the customer to purchase at least one hundred to two hundred dollars worth of merchandise before they will lower the retail price down to, or close to wholesale pricing.
Though the company's wholesale pricing structure may sound good, especially to your wallet, view the companies shipping information too. Moving supplies, especially boxes, normally add up when it comes to shipping and handling. Companies offering free shipping for retail prices might have a different shipping structure for moving supplies wholesale pricing.
With these ideas people looking to purchase moving supplies at wholesale prices for personal use will have an easier time finding companies willing to sell to them.
