Dealer terms and RMA policy
These are the terms every approved dealer buys under. We publish them so you can plan a deal before you ask for a quote. Effective October 2026; changes are announced to dealers by email at least 30 days ahead.
Who we sell to
Cellular Routers Direct, LLC sells to businesses that resell, install or deploy cellular hardware: resellers, VARs, system integrators, MSPs, wireless dealers and agents, OEMs and carrier partners. We do not sell to end users. Every account is approved by hand and needs a registered US business, a business email on the company's domain and a valid resale certificate for the ship-to state.
Pricing and quotes
- Dealer pricing is shown in the private wholesale area by model and quantity band and is confidential to your company.
- A quote is a formal estimate, valid for 30 days unless it says otherwise. Prices exclude shipping and any applicable tax.
- Dealer price changes are announced to dealers at least 30 days before they take effect. Open quotes keep their quoted price through the quote's validity date.
- Deal registration: when you tell us about a named end customer opportunity, we record it and do not quote another dealer on that same end customer for 90 days. [Program details to follow on the Programs page.]
