Is AES Sales a fit for your store?
Order values here are high, so the margin on a single sale can carry real ad spend. At this price point buyers research before they buy, which rewards good product content.
They also sell direct to consumers, so you would be competing with your own distributor on price. Ask where they stand on that before committing.
No MAP policy is listed, so expect price competition from other resellers and plan your margin with that in mind.

How to open a wholesale account with AES Sales
- 1. Check the fit. Confirm the product types and price range match the store you are building, and that the minimum order is within your working capital.
- 2. Look legitimate first. Most distributors want a real website, a business email on your own domain, and a resale certificate before they open an account.
- 3. Ask which brands are actually available to you. A distributor carrying many brands does not always have all of them open to new resellers in your territory.
- 4. Ask about MAP. Knowing whether pricing is enforced tells you whether your margin is protected from being undercut by other resellers on the same catalogue.
