Wholesale Customer Info
What is a Wholesale Customer?
The Jacksonville Flower Market provides public wholesale flowers at a competitive price available for local pick-up in the greater Jacksonville, FL area. However, we also offer a discounted price for our customers who run their own business, are purchasing our product with a Tax ID Number, and have the intent to resell our product to their own customers.
What is the benefit of being a Wholesale Customer?
The customers who fill out an application for membership and are approved will enjoy a percentage discount on certain product purchased through the Jacksonville Flower Market. This percentage is variable depending on the customer and will be discussed during the follow-up call after approval. Our intent is to be competitive with other local wholesalers. These members will also enjoy the perk of tax-free purchasing.
Can I ever get a bigger discount?
Approved members will be regularly reviewed and may be eligible for a new discount rate depending on recent volume. Any additional discounts will be at the discretion of The Jacksonville Flower Market and may be dropped back down if volume expectations are no longer being met. Please feel free to contact us if you feel like you are eligible and have not been contacted.
How do I become a Member?
Easy – fill out and submit the application for membership linked below and email your Tax Exempt Certificate or Wholesale Certificate (Florida Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax) to [email protected]
This can also be done in the store if it is more convenient for you. Once submitted, your application and certificate will be reviewed by our management team to confirm your contact information and active business license in the state disclosed. At this point, you will either be approved or not approved. Please allow 5-10 business days for this process. You will be contacted by a member of the Jacksonville Flower Market once your membership status has been determined.
What products are eligible for the discount?
Your tax-free status will apply across the board on any purchase at The Jacksonville Flower Market. However, your membership discount will apply only to regularly priced flowers and greenery. This does not include hard goods, classes, delivery fees, labor costs, already discounted products, or any other specials.
Where do these discounts apply?
All wholesale and tax exempt purchases must be made either in-store or over the phone. Once we have accepted your wholesale license/certificate or tax exempt form, you will be registered in our in-store system with your name or business account. Please provide either when making your purchase so we can add your account to the order and you are able to receive these discounts!
Stay tuned for updated online accounts, where you will be able to purchase online as well!
Can I set-up a house account and pay monthly or at any other regular interval?
Not at this time. Any purchases made must be paid for at the time of purchase.
Is there anything else I should know?
Upon application approval, you will be granted a 1-year access to your wholesale discount and tax exempt. You will receive email notification upon expiration of the plans term. At that point, it is your responsibility to submit a new application for approval once again. We do this because business licenses are not permanent and wholesale status is reserved only for those with a current Tax ID Number. On that same note, if at any point any approved business is discovered to have given access of their account to a non-approved individual for personal use, your wholesale status will be immediately revoked. Also, considering this constitutes tax fraud, the guilty parties will be reported to the proper authorities for further review.
