100%. The US Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that retail arbitrage is permitted if the
merchandise
is acquired legally.
I see how Dealers and Runners profit,
but what’s in this for Deal & Runner?
Deal and Runner charges small fulfillment and software fees to Dealers for each
purchase. The
system calculates the
fees when the Dealer enters the deal. It’s entirely upfront. Once the Dealer commits
to the
deal, the fees will not change
even if the item’s price fluctuates.
How does Deal & Runner guarantee its
deals for Runners?
Runners are protected at every stage of the deal. (1) Runners can track inventory at
each
checkpoint directly from their
dashboards. (2) If a Dealer backs out of a deal, Deal & Runner will still pay the
Runner in full
for those items. (3) ACH
payouts are scheduled each week automatically.
How does Deal & Runner guarantee its
deals for Dealers?
Dealers’ stock is guaranteed. They can see exactly how many Runners commit to their
deals and
then track the products
as they’re ordered. Then, Deal & Runner verifies the content and condition of every
package.
Deal & Runner is a
software platform, not a buying club operator. Therefore, there’s no conflict of
interest
between our Dealers and us. In
fact, goods never belong to Deal & Runner; our fulfillment center is merely the via
point for
the Dealer’s inventory to get
from the Runner to the Dealer.
Sign up as a Dealer or Runner. There’s no waiting period, so you can immediately
start sourcing
goods or committing to
deals.
Are there limits on how many deals I
can source?
Not at all! Dealers can post as many deals as they can fund. Please note, though,
that
you can’t back out once you place
an order.
How will I be notified about deals?
Dealers can browse our catalog or submit their own deals. Runners are encouraged to
check the
Deal & Runner site daily
for new deals.
Are there limits on how many deals I
can source or buy?
Not at all! Dealers can post as many deals as they can fund. Runners can buy as many
items as
they can afford. Please
note, though, that you can’t back out once you commit to a deal.
Does Deal & Runner prep products
before sending them to Amazon FBA?
We don’t prep products, but we can ship to Amazon or any of your customers. It’s your
fulfillment center.
How will Runners find my deals?
Runners will find deals by logging into their accounts and searching the platform.
Why doesn’t Deal & Runner send out
notifications about deals?
We know all the other buying groups do it, but we don’t, and here’s why: (1) Commissions
change constantly. By the
time a Runner reads the notification and logs in, the deal may have changed. (2) Dealers
like you may want to keep a
deal quiet. To support your privacy, we don’t blast deals. Once the deal is complete,
new Runners won’t know the deal
ever existed.
What fees do Dealers pay?
Dealers pay a small fulfillment fee upfront for each deal. Once goods come to the
fulfillment center, they belong wholly
to the Dealer, who then pays for shipping out of the fulfillment center.
How much is the deposit on an order?
The deposit will vary by brand and item, between 10%-20%.
Are there limits on how many deals I
can source?
Not at all! Dealers can post as many deals as they can fund. Please note, though, that
you can’t back out once you place
an order.

Why doesn’t Deal & Runner send out
notifications about deals?
We know all the other buying groups do it, but we don’t because commissions change
constantly. By the time you read a
notification and log in, the deal may have changed.
How many deals I can commit to?
As you move up levels in our rating system, you’ll be able to buy more products at one
time.
Does your payout amount include tax
and shipping?
Our payout number is the total amount that we’ll pay. Most deals can be ordered with
free shipping, and if you use our
ship-to address, you won’t be charged sales tax.
Can I sign up as a Runner if I live
outside the United States?
Yes, we welcome international Runners! You only need a U.S. bank account that can accept
ACH payments.
