AEC supplies trade customers across the mining and industrial sectors with access to our full catalogue, competitive pricing, and a streamlined ordering experience built for businesses that can't afford downtime.
If you're purchasing on behalf of a business, a wholesale account gives you access to trade pricing, account-based payment terms, and a dedicated portal to manage your orders and quotes.
Our wholesale program is designed for businesses and fleet operators in the mining, resources, and heavy industrial sectors who are purchasing regularly and require a professional, account-based relationship with their supplier.
Retail customers are welcome to purchase through our standard store. If you're buying for a business, a trade account is the right fit.
Fill out our wholesale account application with your business details. We'll ask for some basic information to verify your business and understand your purchasing needs.
Our team reviews every application manually. We'll be in touch once a decision has been made. If approved, you'll receive your account details including your assigned pricing tier, vendor number, and any payment terms that apply to your account.
Once approved, you'll be able to log in to access trade pricing, place orders, and submit quote requests directly from your account portal. Wholesale pricing is not visible to unapproved or retail customers.
Depending on your needs, you can either place orders directly through your account at your agreed pricing, or submit a cart for a formal quote. Quotes are generated and sent to you as professional documents — no back-and-forth required.
Wholesale accounts are assigned a pricing tier based on your business profile and purchasing volume. Your tier determines the discount applied to your orders across our catalogue. Tier details are confirmed at the time of account approval.
If your business grows or your purchasing volume changes, get in touch with our team to discuss a tier review.
Every approved wholesale account is assigned a unique vendor number. This number is linked to your account and appears on all orders, invoices, and documentation — making it easy to match paperwork against your own internal records.
Applications are open to Australian businesses. Once submitted, our team will be in touch within [X] business days.
