Wholesale Program Terms
Payment Policy β Cash In Advance (CIA) β Why It Works in Your Favor
GripForce operates on cash-in-advance (CIA) terms for all wholesale accounts. Orders are processed and fulfilled upon confirmed payment. We do not extend net-30 or credit terms at this time.
CIA terms arenβt a limitation β theyβre a pricing advantage. Because we donβt carry receivables risk or factor collection costs into our margins, weβre able to offer more competitive per-unit pricing to our dealer accounts than suppliers who build net-30 overhead into their wholesale rates. For shops managing cash flow on high-volume orders, this translates directly to better margins on every kit you sell.
Accepted payment methods: Credit card, ACH/bank transfer, wire transfer
Minimum Order Requirements
Wholesale pricing is available on qualifying order volumes. Contact us directly to discuss minimum order quantities and per-unit pricing for your product mix.
Drop-Ship Program
GripForce offers drop-ship fulfillment for authorized wholesale accounts. If you sell online and prefer not to carry inventory, we can fulfill orders directly to your customers under your account. Drop-ship availability is subject to inventory levels and dealer agreement terms.
- No inventory holding required
- Orders fulfilled from our warehouse
- Standard lead times apply
- Dealer account required β not available for one-time or unapproved accounts
Shipping & Lead Times for Wholesale Orders
GripForce ships wholesale orders from our US-based warehouse. Hereβs what to expect:
- Order processing: Orders are processed upon payment confirmation, typically within 1 business day
- Standard lead time: Most in-stock items ship within 1β3 business days of order confirmation
