Wholesale POS Hardware Inquiry

Wholesale inquiry

A wholesale inquiry is a request for POS hardware in bulk, for resale or for a fleet of checkouts, rather than a single unit for one till. This page explains how to write a wholesale inquiry, what to name in it, and what to confirm before payment. It states no price and no single minimum order or lead time, because those are confirmed per model, as the trade distribution on this site describes.

What to name in a wholesale inquiry

Name the models, the quantities for each model, and the market you sell into. A wholesale inquiry that names only a category, without models or quantities, cannot be quoted accurately, because models differ in specification and trade terms, and quantities affect the terms. Name the market as well, because certificates and labelling differ by market, and a model that serves one market may not serve another without different documents.

Name the variants too, where they matter: the screen size, the SSD baseline, the touch type, and the interface set, because variants differ within a family, and a model name alone may not distinguish them. A wholesale inquiry that names the variants will receive a quotation for the right models, while one that does not will receive a request for clarification.

What to confirm before payment

Ask for the specification for each exact model, the minimum order quantity for each model, the lead time for the order with its meaning, the payment and shipping terms, the warranty terms, and the certificates that apply to your market, by name, with documents attached. Ask for the price for the exact models and quantities, and for the payment terms, before payment, not after.

Do not pay on the basis of a category description alone, and do not pay before the specification, the minimum order quantity, the lead time, the payment and shipping terms, the warranty terms, and the certificates have been confirmed for the exact models in the order.

Before payment, confirm the minimum order quantity, lead time, payment, shipping and warranty terms for your order. Certificates are available upon request.

How a wholesale order proceeds

The inquiry is answered with a quotation for the exact models and quantities, including the specification, the minimum order quantity, the lead time, the payment and shipping terms, the warranty terms, and the certificates. The buyer confirms the quotation, and the order proceeds on the confirmed terms. Any change to the models, quantities, or market after confirmation should be re-confirmed, because it may change the specification, the lead time, or the certificates.
