| Wholesale Policy |
While we do offer additional discounts to Professional Builders and Tackle Shops, but unlike some Components
Distributors, we require more than "any" type of business documentation to receive discounts in order to protect
our PROFESSIONAL customers.
A Contractors license qualifies the holder to discounts on construction materials. A Beauticians license qualifies
the holder to discounts on beauty supplies. Etc, etc, etc... Our Tackle license does us no good at the electrical
supply house to get us anything beyond retail pricing.
Why? Because the supply house protecting their licensed professional customers who have taken the time to
educate themselves on their craft, collect and pay taxes on their work and possess the appropriate insurance.
Those professionals count on the extra discount percentage that they receive on their supplies as profit to help
cover the associated overhead costs involved with being "legal". Quite honestly, we don't mind paying retail
because we understand why it needs to happen that way.
We are not in the business of supplying "underground" businesses that avoid things like taxes, nor are we
interested in providing deep discounts to people who simply possess a business license or tax ID number of
some sort and want to make some rods. There are a number of components suppliers that WILL accept just
about any form of documentation to receive a discount, so you have a number of other options beyond C&M
Custom Tackle for your "wholesale" parts if you don't meet our criteria.
While this policy upsets some, our Professional clients who keep us plenty busy, appreciate it.

What We Require
- Current copy of your Business License that is TACKLE RELATED
- Current copy of your Resale License or Tax Exempt certificate issued by your County or State that is
TACKLE RELATED. - Copy of FEIN Registration or EIN/Federal Tax ID number
- Trade references (Company, Contact, Address, Phone#, Fax#) for those that you purchase tackle related
merchandise from currently.
We realize that not all States require all of the above, however the Federal Government DOES require tax
registration for "legal" builders, as you are required to collect and pay a Federal Sportfishing Excise Tax on the
rods you construct. If your State DOESN'T require all of the above (most do), please forward the documentation
that you do have by fax to 909-394-5186, or you may scan it and email to Colleen@acidrod.com Please note
that sending all four documents will provide you with the fastest possible processing. Applicants who do not
possess all four documents will have to wait while we research your State or County's policies to qualify your
discount. This I should add is not a "drop everything, put it at the top of the pile" situation. Processing orders for
our current customers is top priority as we're not a large outfit with an accounting "department" that processes
wholesale applicants.

| Ordering |
Wholesale orders are to be placed online, just as you would a "retail" order. The prices shown in the
cart will reflect the same prices seen on AcidRod.com By simply adding the text "Wholesale
Customer" into the comments box at checkout, we will verify the account, then apply the wholesale
discounts BEFORE the order is processed or your card is charged. Upon hitting the "Submit" button at
checkout, an automated order confirmation will be sent you your email address. This confirmation will
not reflect the wholesale pricing, but only serves to let you know that we've received the order. If you
don't see a confirmation email shortly after ordering, please check your spam folder.
