Q: How is
Wholesale Music Club different from all the other so called
wholesale companies on the internet? |
| A:
The answer is simple. Most of the other "wholesale offers"
online are available to the general public. With these other
so called wholesale companies, there is no separation between
wholesaler, dealer, and the end user (consumer). Real
wholesalers will only sell B2B Drop Shipping (business to business) any
company offering "wholesale deals" that does not require a
business license or tax id from you is not a real wholesale
distributor. You have to ask yourself, "Do I want to buy from
a discounted music retailer or a real music instrument
master-distributor? The answer is obvious. With Wholesale
Music Club, we only sell our gold wholesale drop ship membership package
to licensed re-sellers. All 120 wholesale musical instrument
warehouses within our network require a business license or
tax id from all members. There is zero public access. This
keeps the integrity in place between the true wholesale
supplier and the dealer. Your company buys the music
instrument products at the same wholesale price that your
local music shop pays. There are still super profit margins
out there selling musical instruments.
|
|
Q: Do I have
to have an actual store front in order to join Wholesale Music
Club? |
| A:
No. Among those that purchase the Gold Wholesale Package are
small to mid sized companies selling via mail order, swap
meets, internet, as well as small retail locations. It is not
100% necessary to have an actual store.
|
|
Q: I have
seen offers online about a CD with 10,000 wholesale sources.
What is this all about? |
| A:
If you need wholesale sources for beans, shoe laces, hay, or
bulk fabrics.... the CD is for you. If you are seeking true
wholesale distributors supplying musical instrument products
to dealers only,.... then you need Wholesale Music Club.
Basically the "wholesale" wholesale CD's out there are garbage.
Plus, they will sell these CD's to anyone. The general public
has access to the same information. You want real business to
business wholesale distributors that don't deal with the
public.
|
|
Q: What are
the minimum order requirements with the club and the other 120
wholesale musical instrument distributors? |
| A:
Minimum order requirements vary by distributor. Usually the
minimum order is between $50.00 to $200.00

Q: What is a
manufacturer? |
| A:
A manufacturer is the maker of the brand. Most mass -
manufacturers of musical instruments reside in China & Korea.
(Although most all of the better music brands do manufacture
here in the USA)
|
|
Q: What is a
distributor? |
| A:
A distributor is a privately owned mass supplier to the music
dealers. The distributor has massive buying power and stocks
each musical instrument item in large quantities. Most
wholesale musical instrument distributors here in the USA sell
at the same "dealer price" that the actual manufacturer does.
The musical instrument distributor function is to supply the
musical instruments & accessories at a closer proximity
without a price increase to the licensed dealer. Keep in mind,
using "wil-call" is a way to save $$. Simply search for the
distributors in your state after completion of your
drop ship membership. You will save tons on shipping - by picking up the
orders yourself. (wil-call ) There are over 100 massive
wholesale musical instrument warehouses across the United
States. Chances are there are many near you. Remember, these
companies only sell to licensed retailers / dealers / internet
sellers / etc. Many real wholesale distributors will only sell
to dealers with commercial addresses. Although it is not 100%
necessary to have a commercial address. Speak to a wholesale
consultant @ 951-319-8485Fax your tax id to eFax 325-202-9228
