I'm looking for a wholesale distributer for Voit Duckfeet Swim Fins.
Preferably from Mexico, with the ability to make or get custom sets.
I've looked online, and all over the internet I've only found
middlemen. I'm trying to get to the source. Voit manufacturer in
Europe, Central or South America. If you can help me find a place to
buy these Voit Duckfeet Flippers wholesale it will help me out.

Request for Question Clarification by politicalguru-ga on 08 Aug 2006 23:24 PDT

Dear Philosopher, 

This is mostly to let you know that I've contacted Voit and asked them
for the list of their official wholesalers. It is quite possible that
they sell wholesale directly through their sales department.

Do you have a tax-ID (if in the US) or otherwise a "proof" to show
them that you're a legitimate retailer?

Clarification of Question by philosopher2000-ga on 09 Aug 2006 09:32 PDT

I have also attempted to contact Voit through e-mail on their
"Official Website" (which sucks) and asked for distributers.
Unfortunately, their contact is in Mexico City and either doesn't
understand english, or the message just doesn't get to anyone.

I don't need their web site. ( http://www.voit.com/ )
I don't need their email address. *comentarios-at-voit.com.mx
I do need to contact a Voit Duckfeet Swim Fin wholesale distributer.
I would prefer to have a physical, business address, either in the
U.S. or in Mexico.

(B.T.W. I do have a resale tax I.D. in the U.S., but that has
absolutely nothing to do with this question, anyone can get one, and
the only people who would need them are Distributers [to avoid
collecting and paying sales tax] and the State Board of Equalization
for assigning sales tax responsibility. They don't make you
'legitimate' they only make you legally bound to collect sales tax,
pay it to the government, and you don't need my number.)

P.S. I tried to track down a U.S. Business Address for VOIT and
couldn't find it. I've heard that it may be in or arround San Antonio,
Tx, or possibly in Indiana, IL. I would prefer to speak to the
manufacturer at the point of origin, as I want a custom model, and
need to place the order with people who can change color, size,
rubber, etc.

P.S.S. I have also noticed a lot of other VOIT businesses, some even
sell various sporting goods, I'm only interested in VOIT DUCKFEET SWIM
FINS, not golf or real-estate or anything else.
