Congratulations on taking a positive step to start your own scooter business.
While the scooter business has experienced tremendous growth over the past
decade, it has also become very competitive. However, it is still an extremely
lucrative business if ran efficiently. We have composed the Bravo® Co-op Program
to assist our valued customers in minimizing your start-up costs and maximizing
your profits in order to succeed in this dynamic industry. Please read through
the following carefully before setting up your business plans. It would save you
a lot of time and headache in the long run.
It is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the product line
prior to selling to the public. Customers are always going to have questions
about the functions, features, and method of operation of the scooters. It is
also wise to get access to samples to see how the scooters operate. You can go
down to a local scooter shop and test the items or order a few samples directly
from us. Please understand that we do not provide technical support for clients
of co-op customers. You would be responsible for providing customer service for
your own customers. |

Price Control |
|
|
|
In order to control the market price of Bravo®
Branded merchandise, Co-op customers must mark up each item by at least 40%.
Any Co-op customer selling below the market price (dumping) will be immediately
disqualified as an authorized Bravo® Retailer. In the event that you need to
sell an item below the requirement because of circumstances beyond your control,
please contact us prior to doing so. We do not encourage customers to sell
through auction sites such as eBay or Yahoo! Auctions unless a reserve price is
established which must be greater than the suggested minimum price. Customers
selling on eBay without a reserve price will be disqualified for the Co-op
program immediately. We do not wish to have Co-op customers starting price wars
to tarnish the Bravo® Brand and lower the value of our merchandise. |

Payment Terms |
|
|
|
Payment is on a prepaid basis. Co-op customers
must deposit enough funds to cover their orders prior to shipment of any
orders. You can make a deposit at the local Citibank to our account or wire
transfer into our account. For wiring instructions, please
email us. Your initial deposit must be over $1,000. This is the minimum
stated on the wholesale price list. We do not accept credit card nor PayPal
payments for Co-op customers. You can also send in cashier's check or money
order to our office. However, this would take considerable time and is not the
recommended method of payment. Local customers can also make a payment in our
office. Our office location and directions can be found by clicking "About Us"
on the top of this page. After the initial payment, you can deposit as much
money as your orders require at your discretion. Once payment is received, it
will be applied to your account on our system. You can ship any order up to the
amount you have in the account. If your account is running low, you can easily
make a deposit. Payments are usually applied within one business day to your
account. Once an order has been placed and is ready for shipment, we will email
you a copy of the sales order showing exactly what was charged on the order with
the exact shipping charges. |
|
|
|
Order Placement |
|
|
|
Placing an order is as easy as emailing us a
purchase order. Please make up purchase order numbers so we can both easily
identify each order. You can see the format of a sample purchase order by
clicking
here. We do not charge Co-op customers with a drop shipping charge. All
the prices are the same as our regular wholesale customers that purchase in
quantity. THERE IS NO MINIMUM PER ORDER REQUIREMENTS FOR CO-OP CUSTOMERS. |
|
|
|
Shipping charges vary by location. All items
less than 80 lbs will be shipped via UPS. You can see the estimated shipping
charges by going to
the UPS Website and get a rate from City of Industry, 91789 to your
customer's location. The shipping weight is approximately 10 lbs more than the
net weight specified in the price list for packaging material and additional
accessories. You can
download the worksheet
for approximate box dimensions online. |
|
|
|
All items more than 80 lbs will be shipped via
a freight company. The minimum shipping rate for freight is $150.00 per piece
within continental US. Please contact us for rates elsewhere. Please also
contact us for multiple piece shipments. We do not ship to APO, FPO addresses.
All items are shipped brand new in factory prepackaged boxes. We will not be
responsible for any shipping damages. You will have to deal directly with UPS
or Freight Company if there are any shipping damages. |
|
|
|
On the first order, you must also fax in a copy
of your application, a copy of your Resale Certificate, a copy of your Federal
Tax ID/Social Security Card, and a photo ID of the primary owner of the
business. |
|
|
|
Warranty |
|
|
|
Most merchandise carries a 30 day
manufacturer's warranty against material defects unless otherwise specified in
the price list. Close out items do not come with warranty and is sold on as is
basis. (Close out items have a * next to the wholesale price) We usually do
not stock parts on close out items so please find another source for parts to
service your customers. |
|
|
|
If a warranty claim needs to be filed, you need
to send in the appropriate information in order for us to verify the eligibility
of the claim. Usually, proof of defect will be required (simple digital
pictures will suffice in most cases). On parts that are less probable to be
defective, the customer may have to send in the actual part for inspection.
Customer must send in the requested parts at their own expense. It is a good
idea for customers to keep the tracking information for the item they sent in so
we can better keep track of the shipment. El Sol Trading, Inc. has sole
discretion in determining the eligibility of a claim. Co-op customers are
responsible for shipping charges incurred from shipping replacement parts to
your customer under warranty. Warranty does not cover shipping damages, misuse,
abuse, or other reasons except for manufacturer's defect. Warranty parts are
sent out on a first come, first serve basis. If we do not have a part in stock,
Co-op customer must find another source to service their customer. |
|
|
|
Most of the owner’s manuals for the scooters
that we carry can be downloaded from our website on the internet. If a customer
did not receive an Owner's Manual with the scooter, you can have them visit our
website to download it or download a copy for your self and email it to your
customer. In the case that no manual is available on our website, please feel
free to
email us and we will try our best to put a copy online for everyone's use. |
