Distributor Pricing. No Warehouse Required.
APA acts as a master distributor — when you become a member, you become a remote branch. Buy directly from manufacturers and compete with the buying power of a national chain.
HOW IT WORKS
APA is a Distributor/Buying Group — a consortium of members who join together to leverage collective purchasing power. Member becomes a remote Branch of APA with consolidated purchasing power.
APA acts as a Master Distributor, buying directly from manufacturers.
Each Member becomes a remote Branch of APA with consolidated purchasing power.
Think of distributors like Home Depot or Graybar — both operate hundreds of branches with significant buying muscle. When you join APA, you become one of those branch locations and can:
- Receive quarterly 2% cash back on purchases
- Purchase directly from manufacturers at distributor cost
- Ship Directly to Your Location
- Sell to others in trade, retail, or use in your own production projects
- Do all of this without building a physical location, maintaining a fleet, or hiring employees
