SALES POLICY

Pitman Creek Wholesale sells only to retailers who have a permanent business location and stock the merchandise that we sell. Retailers should have a location separate from their residence, maintain regular business hours, and be open to the public.

Pitman Creek Wholesale does not knowingly sell to individuals who operate out of their home or wish to purchase solely for their own use or for that of their friends. We endevor to protect the dealers who make their living selling retail sporting goods.

Those desiring to become a dealer must complete the Dealer Application and provide a copy of your State Resale Certificate prior to the processing of your first order. We also require that you send a picture the outside of your store showing your store front with your sign and a picture of the inside of your store shows the cash register. The pictures can be mailed, emailed to info@pitmancreek.com , or sent via MMS/Text Message to info@pitmancreek.com. Please include your store name when sending the pictures.

Established USA dealers with acceptable Trade References from sporting goods manufacturers/distributors are required to order a minimum of $750.00 for their opening order. New stores or dealers without acceptable Trade References from sporting goods manufacturers/distributors are required to place an opening order of $2,500.00 or more. 

Foreign dealers are required a minimum purchase of $5000 to be paid via wire transfer and buyer pays freight, and fees.

Completion of the Dealer Application does not guarantee an account with Pitman Creek Wholesale.

 
  • All orders for new Dealers will be sent E-Check (autodraft), ACH (funds are withdrawn before the order is shipped), or Credit Card (if no eCheck form is provided) unless paid in advance with cash, or check. Open Terms are available to Dealers with approved credit. Assuming prompt response from your credit references and full completion of the application, it normally takes two weeks to have your credit approved.
