Here Are Some Common Questions and Answers
Q: I want to buy SMC products but I don't want to invest in a membership. Will you sell to me?
A: Nope. Only SMC members may purchase from SMC. SMC MEMBERSHIP PROTECTS YOU! The only person who can access these incredibly low prices is YOU, the SMC Member!
Q: What else does an SMC membership offer me?
A:As an SMC member you benefit from 60 years of marketing experience. The programs we offer WORK, and work well. No trial and error. You’ve got all the know-how of a longtime industry insider right at your fingertips! Plus, don’t forget the FREE Business Coaching! Your Business Coach works with you one-on-one to help you to make money fast.
Q: What about shipping? Will my orders take a long time, and cost a lot in shipping fees?
A: By using SMC as your sole supplier, you have access to a huge range of products — so you don’t have to pay shipping charges from a variety of different companies! And don’t worry about delays, because in most cases SMC ships within 1-2 business days of receiving your order!
Q: Is SMC a franchise opportunity?
A: Absolutely not. Franchisors have their hand in your till for their share of the profits, advertising fees, franchising fees, training fees… you name it! With SMC, business is simple and clear-cut - you buy low, and sell at whatever profit you’re happy with! That’s it! All the profit is yours to keep. And remember, you’re not under any obligation to buy exclusively from us. That’s another difference from a franchise. In fact, we encourage you to shop around. We know we’ve got the best variety, best quality, and best prices around!
Q: You say you’ll keep me informed about new products, services, programs, etc. How often?
A: The SMC Member Website is always up-to-date with new merchandise arrivals, special promotions, services, etc. The latest copy of The Specialty Wholesaler Newsletter is always available online, and updated every month. This newsletter is packed with information about the latest arrivals, news stories, money-making tips, and success stories from fellow SMC members.

Q: Do I have to order a minimum amount of merchandise to remain a member?
A: No. You operate your business at your own pace. Order what you need, when you need it (usually after you’ve already sold it!)
Q: Will you drop-ship orders for me?
A: Absolutely, and at no extra charge. The shipping document will carry your name, not SMC’s, so your customer doesn’t learn your source. This way, you don’t ever have to physically handle a single item if you don’t want to!

A: Just send your Membership Kit back for a complete refund, less shipping and handling.
