What we bring a line
We are a merchant wholesaler, not an agent. We buy on our own account, take title, carry the receivable, and sell into maintenance and repair desks across eight markets in eleven product families. Most of that order traffic is a repair part against a part number, in small quantity, on a date the customer cannot move.
How we work with a line
Purchase orders
Purchase orders come from purchasing@lxxxiv.us. One contact for orders, invoices and returns.
Your channel policies
We honor authorized seller and minimum advertised price policies. No marketplace or online retail sales. Products ship in your packaging with your warranty intact.
Territory
We are not asking for a territory or exclusivity.
Documentation
We pass your certificate of conformance and country of origin through to the customer and keep the chain back to you on file. See Quality.
What our account looks like
What a channel or credit desk usually asks before opening one.
- Buying decision
- One person. Willie Phelps approves every purchase order, so there is no committee between a quote and an order.
- Ordering
- Purchase order by email from purchasing@lxxxiv.us. No portal or EDI requirement on your side, and we will work in yours if you have one.
- Payment
- Prepay or card on a new account. Net 30 once a payment record is established. Trade and bank references from ap@lxxxiv.us.
- Returns and claims
- One contact for orders, invoices, returns and claims, at the same address as the purchase order.
Receiving and capability
- Ship to and bill to
- 8400 South Ashland Ave, Unit 4, Chicago, IL 60620. Receiving is at the same address.
- Value add
- Part number labeling, bagging and kitting to the receiving specification our customer gives us.
- Stocking
- We stock the fast movers in a family on our own account and will discuss a stocking commitment on a line once the movement is real. We will not claim one before that.
What we need to open an account
Your account application, price list and terms. Our side of the packet is ready to send the same day you ask:
- IRS Form W-9. Current, signed.
- Illinois resale certificate. Form CRT-61, blanket, signed.
- Uniform resale certificate. Multistate Tax Commission form for deliveries outside Illinois.
- Company profile. Legal name, entity record, DUNS, NAICS and contacts on one page.
