General ID Wholesaler Information

Does ID Wholesaler have the lowest prices? Yes. In fact, we guarantee it! Other retailers may claim to have the lowest prices, but they can’t compete with us. Read our Low Price Guarantee. I’ve noticed references to a term called ‘MAP’. What’s this? Several manufacturers require us to advertise their products at MSRP or another factory-established price. This is referred to as minimum advertised pricing (MAP). We respect our MAP agreements; therefore, please create a no-cost user account so that you may view ID Wholesaler’s guaranteed lowest pricing on MAP-controlled items. What is your Return Policy? Have you ordered something you don’t need or decided against your purchase? No problem! We want you to be satisfied. Read our Return Policy. Is the information I provide to you secure? How will it be used? The safety and privacy of your information is extremely important to us. Please view our Privacy Policy for complete details on our commitment to your privacy.

You may also call (800) 321-4405 or chat live with us. We are always at your service! Do you validate credit card authenticity and/or the shipping address? Yes, for your protection and ours, a representative from our accounting team may be in contact with you via telephone to verify your address and credit card. This is typically a one-time verification. When will my order be shipped? Because we have such a large in-stock inventory, we are able to ship 90% of orders within 24 business hours (holidays and weekends excluded) pending credit card verification.  Please note that expedited shipping methods do not decrease this order processing time. How do I change quantities or cancel my order? If your order has not been shipped, we are happy to make changes to quantities, help you make another selection or cancel your order. If you know your ID Wholesaler Account Manager, please contact them directly. If you don’t know who to call, please contact the ID Wholesaler Sales Team at (800) 321-4405 x2. How do I track my order?

Or, track your order directly through FedEx using the tracking number provided. When will my backorder arrive? Backordered items are those which our suppliers are unable to predict when they will have more in stock; but as soon as they do, we will be able to ship them to you. You may check your backorder status by selecting the Order Tracking link after logging in to Your Account, call us at (800) 321-4405 x3 or email us at support@IDWholesaler.com.

Shipping

When will my order ship? Because we have such a large in-stock inventory, we are able to ship 90% of orders within 24 business hours (holidays and weekends excluded) pending credit card verification. Please note that expedited shipping methods do not decrease order processing time. Where is product shipped from? We have several distribution warehouses throughout the United States.  A significant percentage of product ships from Miami Lakes, FL (zip code 33014) and St. Louis Park, MN (zip code 55426).  Please know that we may ship product from one or more locations depending on various factors.  If you need product on a specific date, please select one of our expedited shipping options. How much does shipping cost? ID Wholesaler offers FREE FedEx Ground shipping on all orders over $100! You may preview shipping costs by placing an item in your shopping cart and then using our ‘Estimated Shipping’ tool by entering your zip code. If you are an international customer, the shipping estimator will not work – please email us at sales@IDWholesaler.com. Shipping options are presented prior to submitting your payment information. We may add a small handling fee to certain products and/or shipping methods. These will be included in the estimated shipping costs. Please note: Free FedEx Ground shipping is not offered for orders where the shipping address is located outside of the contiguous U.S. (e.g. Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico). Also, price-matched orders totaling under $100 may not qualify for ID Wholesaler’s Free FedEx Ground Shipping offer. Can you ship to APO/FPO addresses? Since we are unable to track packages shipping to APO/FPO addresses, we require a location in the US that we can ship to instead. Additionally, we may require payment via bank wire to process orders using APO/FPO. We apologize and thank you in advance for your understanding. Can you ship to post office boxes? Due to fraud associated with PO box addresses, we cannot ship to them. Please arrange to have products shipped to your physical address–either home or business.

When is my credit card charged? When you initially place your order, a reservation or hold for the order amount is placed with your card provider. Once we have shipped your order, we will then charge your credit card for the order amount. Typically, this process is all completed in the same business day. Is my credit card number safe? Most definitely! ID Wholesaler does not store customer credit card numbers on our systems/servers. This is the best way to ensure the safety of this information. When will I receive my credit? Generally, we post credits to your credit card within 5 business days, but it can take up to 20 days after we process the credit for it to appear on your account.
