Sub Dealer Information

Each year we are contacted by businesses interested in becoming a sub-dealer with us. We are selective in who we work with as a sub dealer and there are a few benchmarks needed to be hit in order to be considered for sub-dealer. We at Stork's Plows believe in pricing our equipment the best we can upfront which is why many of our parts start out at 20% off list already.

Below you will find some of the requirements to become a resale sub-dealer. This is only intended for re-sellers. One way is through the purchase of plows and or spreaders, the other is numerous part sales. If you feel you meet these requirements or can meet the requirements necessary, then please fill out our application at the bottom of this page. We will review the application and let you know if confirmed or denied.

• Discount Level 1 - $10,000 in total purchases over the past year.
• Discount Level 2 - Must buy Plows / In-bed spreaders or a combonation of 3 full units to qualify. 2 tailgate spreaders can count as 1 in-bed spreader.
• Discount Level 3 - Must buy Plows / In-bed spreaders or a combonation of 5 full units to qualify. 2 tailgate spreaders can count as 1 in-bed spreader.

The discount level is only good for one year. The year starts on April 1st and ends the following year on March 31st. At that time the contract is reverted until refilled out and the benchmarks are once again hit.

Some rules for our sub-dealers:

Orders:  Subs are expected to do your own research and provide us with part #'s. All orders must be emailed ahead of time. We must have a PO # or a deposit, with the delays in recent years we had orders canceled that were out of our control on inventory we either shipped in or held for a sub dealer. Effective immediately, equipment will not be ordered until we have a PO #. Any canceled PO will be billed for cancelation. We hold the right to charge or waive depending on the situation. A PO will be held for up to 90 days once equipment is here; Storks has the option to give you a certain amount of days for pick up before charging a cancelation fee and deleting the PO. Fax orders to 610-488-0735 or email orders to [email protected]
NOTE - We are happy to teach you how to order, look up, and/or know how to use the websites if needed. This must be done during the summer, not in season. Reach out if you want us to walk you through the tools we have.

Payment: All orders must be paid by cash or Pennsylvania check at time of pick up. Anyone using a credit card will be charged the 3.5% credit card fees. We do not take AMEX.  If outside of Pennsylvania, orders must be paid by credit card & will incur credit card fees. You can pay by check, but check must clear before an order will be shipped. ACH is also an option.

Pricing: Pricing is based on the time of pick up. If you submit a PO, you will be billed off the current pricing at the time the product leaves our property. If an item that you have ordered is the last or close to last item we have you will also be charged shipping to replace said item.

Freight: We take pride in keeping a large inventory available. One of the benefits is that we do not have to charge our subs freight on our in-stock parts, as long as they were part of our pre-season order. Anything that was ordered after pre-season will have additional freight charges. If we do not have the parts that you need in stock, and we order them in, they will also be subject to freight charges. Stork’s reserves the right to keep some inventory on our shelf. We may choose not to sell you the last or last few of something we have if we feel we need it or are reserving it for a job. If you are buying an item that we feel the need to reorder, we will charge shipping as well.

Calculating price: We will provide you with list prices to calculate your cost. For complete plows use the manufacturer’s power match for part #'s needed to calculate prices. The aftermarket discount is not based on list price, but off what we sell it for. Refer to www.storksplows.com for most selling prices. If the manufacturers change pricing during the season, these changes with affect your pricing as well and we will get the new pricing to you at that point.

Surcharge: If any of our manufacturer’s implement a surcharge on equipment at any time during the season, those charges will be added to the price charged.

Return policy: A 20% restocking fee will be charged for returned parts. Special order parts (non- stock) and parts returned over 30 days may be rejected.

Returned checks:  Bad checks will be subject to a $100 processing fee.

Warranty: Warranty issues will need all info to submit for refund. Parts need to be returned immediately. You will be charged for the replacement parts and then refunded once the claim is completed.

Costar/Municipal Discounts: In order to utilize these programs, all paperwork must be submitted no later than 15 days after the invoice date. Claims require completed registration from manufacturer website, as well as an invoice showing Costar contracted end user, address, contact name, and serial numbers. Invoices must be paid before credit is given for Costar rebate.

We have the right to adjust this agreement as needed.
