Rep Power: 0 | TANNING LOTION DISTRIBUTORS help Whats a good tanning lotion distributor? In my past i have dealt with suntan supply which was good but just takes to long for shipping, i have dealt with future industries and the only thing that was good with them was the shipping came quick but there customer service sucks across the board (Lotion, equipment sales and servicing.) now they want to charge me for shipping and tell me that every distributor is charging shipping which is not true. I have read bad things about heartland in regards to them being in business with planet fitness gyms and using the info of there customer demographics to open planet fitness gyms supplied with there equipment to compete with there own customers, so that being said i would not do business with them either. p c tans has the worst customer service!!! i experienced that for my self and have read that in these forums as well. So any other distributor recommendations please let me know thanks... |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: TANNING LOTION DISTRIBUTORS help thanks @ robert k for the referral, i will give URI a try. Since this i posted this thread a bunch of people have referred me to URI. As for the heartland bit, all that i read on them in the past kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. @keistertanning, that's a great name by the way and i like the phrase that goes along with it too. I never really tried four season but i have definitely have gotten really annoying calls from them in the past, maybe ill give them a call and try them out too. |

Future never came thru when needed, always dropping the ball, was with them for 11 years, they really gone down hill, as far as lotion sale. |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: TANNING LOTION DISTRIBUTORS help I used to order mostly from Suntan Supply, now exclusively Four Seasons. I found that a many things I tried to order from Suntan Supply were on BO. As our business goes downhill, so naturally the distributors, does also. They simply don't want to carry a lot of inventory, so hence, it's on back-order. Most distributors offer free shipping if the order is over $100, or give you free product to make up the shipping cost. I used to favor Future (Sun Capsule), but like suncity says, they have really gone downhill. It's a sign of the times. Last edited by parrot head; 06-24-2014 at 07:33 AM. Reason: add |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: TANNING LOTION DISTRIBUTORS help I don't think this is a "spam" thread in the least. The question was asked, it was answered, and anyone can take it with a grain of salt. As to who to use, they can make up their own mind. As to who to order from, for anything, a response from a inquiry goes a long way to getting an order. |
