Telstar Wholesale
Ordering policies
These terms apply to every order placed through the Telstar Wholesale portal. Questions? Contact wholesale@telstarus.com or (800) 555-0142.
Wholesale terms of sale
- The portal is for authorized retailers only. Accounts are opened with a retailer code from your sales rep firm, and products are for resale to end customers — not for resale to other dealers or online marketplaces without written approval.
- Prices shown after sign-in are your wholesale cost under your account’s price list. Prices can change when a new price sheet takes effect; the price at the time you place an order is the price you pay.
- Orders must total at least $250 before freight and tax.
- Some items are sold in inner packs or counter displays. Quantities are rounded up to the nearest full pack.
- Orders are subject to acceptance and product availability. We’ll contact you if anything on your order is delayed or unavailable.
- Orders are tax-exempt once your resale certificate is on file and approved. Until then, applicable sales tax is added.
Minimum advertised price (MAP)
- The MSRP shown next to each product in the portal is its minimum advertised price unless we tell you otherwise in writing.
- You may sell at any price in your store, but any advertised price — print, online, email, social media or in-store signage that is visible outside the point of sale — must not be below MAP.
- Phrases like “add to cart to see price” or “call for price” are fine; showing a price below MAP, or bundling to imply one, is not.
- Repeated MAP violations may result in loss of wholesale pricing or account closure.
Payment & terms
- Credit card: your card is charged when you place the order, and the order goes straight to fulfillment. Cards can be saved to your account for future orders.
- Terms: approved accounts can pay on invoice. To apply, choose “Request terms” at checkout and include a signed credit application, your accounts payable email and up to three trade references. Our credit team will reply within 2 business days, and nothing ships until terms are approved.
- Approved accounts receive a credit limit. Orders over your available credit are reviewed before they ship.
- If terms are declined, you can pay for the order by card from Order history to release it.
- Invoices are issued when your order ships and are due within your approved terms (for example, Net 30 from the invoice date). Past-due balances may put new orders on hold.
Shipping & freight
- Card orders include flat-rate freight of $38.50 to one ship-to address in the contiguous United States.
- Freight for orders on terms is quoted after credit review and added to the invoice.
- Tell us your receiving hours and whether you have a loading dock when you add a ship-to address — we’ll send a liftgate when there’s no dock.
- Use “Ship no earlier than” at checkout to schedule a later ship date. Tracking is emailed when your order ships.
Returns & defectives
- Inspect shipments when they arrive. Note visible damage on the delivery receipt and report damage or shortages within 5 business days.
- Defective products are replaced or credited. Contact us with your order number and a description or photo of the problem, and we’ll issue a return authorization.
- Returns of non-defective products need prior written authorization and may be subject to a restocking fee. Products must be unused and in original, resalable packaging.
- Returns sent without a return authorization can’t be accepted.
