Where do skate & surf shops buy their merchandise at wholesale cost? I am looking for a company that will sell a fairly large variety of brand name merchandise to my company.
I"m looking for brands like O’Neil, Hurley, Quicksilver, Billabong, Rusty,etc.
Please list a company or website.
dude, they all buy from the manufacturer direct if you go to a middle man they buy at the same cost as you would and then they mark it up to you and then you are no longer competitive and sure relationships make customers but prices make buying customers and you can’t stay in business being over priced. you need to go to the websites of the listed companies and all the rest and find out where they are all going to be set up at conventions for showing the new lines of clothing and sports equipment coming out each season and go there to the convention and set up accounts with all the mfrs. if you don’t have a company they wont sell to you so go find the next surf and skate expo in San diego or las vegas or the M A G I C in vegas (stands for Mens Apparel Guild In California)
