I am a broker/sales agent from NC, and represent brands in both control, and non control states. The distiller sells his goods directly to the distributer, in non control states, for whatever price he decides. The distributer adds t5axes & shipping and works anywhere from 25% to 40%. It depends on your selling relationship with your Dist. The retailer than marks up another 30% to 50%. The terms you give your Dist are usually net 30; but sometimes you give better terms to get a bigger order. Promos and deals are usually split between you and the Dist.My 30 years of expierence has taught me that more often than not 30 days often turns into 90 pretty often. ALWAYS DO CREDIT CHECKS ON 1st time buyers. In most control states, the state takes your goods, puts them on their floor in bond, and pays you monthly for the goods that are depleted. If your product doesen`t sell and they decide to de-list you; you take the goods back at your own expense. Each state hase their own formula for reaching a retail price. Hope this helps. If I can be of any more help just let me know.

Richard, I am going to check out your company via google. but you might consider attaching your web page with all communications. Just a suggestion.
