If you do not meet Qualifications 1-6
If you have reviewed Dealer Qualifications 1-6 and do not meet those requirements you may still be able to qualify.
The Number One reason persons or companies do not qualify for Dealer status is because we cannot clearly determine what type of business a person or company is in. We often receive a State Sales Tax Certificate or a Business/Merchants License for a person or company such as:
John Smith
123 Main Street
Columbia, MO 12345
Other examples are: William Consultations, Roberts Industries, Smith Enterprises, Bob’s Place, Joe’s Security or Martin Inc. While these are valid business names, MidwayUSA cannot clearly determine what type of a business the person or company is in.
In order for you to qualify for Dealer status we will require one of the following:
- Exception One:
- We will require a Yellow Pages Ad clearly showing us you are in the Shooting, Reloading or Gunsmithing Business along with your State Sales Tax Certificate or Business/Merchants License.
- Exception Two:
- If you rent tables or space at gun shows to sell our products, please send us a minimum of two receipts from gun shows dated within the last six months along with your State Sale Tax Certificate or Business/Merchants License.
- Expiration: With a State Sales Tax Certificate or Business/Merchants License and either a Yellow Pages ad or two gun show receipts we will grant Dealer status for three years.
Note One: Simply being a business does not qualify a business entity for Dealer status. MidwayUSA’s Dealer Program is reserved for those businesses in the Shooting, Reloading or Gunsmithing industry demonstrating an intent and ability to buy and resell our products or as a practicing gunsmith use our gunsmithing products.
Note Two: We will not grant Dealer status to web-based Dealers or any persons or company which intends to export products purchased from MidwayUSA.
No other documents will be accepted.
