    Stuller requires you to set up a customer account with them before
    you can place orders. The account has nothing to do with extending
    credit (you can also apply for a credit account if you choose - I've
    always found it easier to pay with a credit card when I order from
    suppliers). They are true wholesalers, so this is simply so that they
    can screen their customer base to ensure they're selling to
    legitimate businesses, not to Joe Schmo who wants to buy a ring
    wholesale for his aunt Mary. It also screens out "hobbyist"
    jewelry-makers in many cases. BUT, if you're serious in this
    business, there will be companies like Stuller who you will want to
    do business with and it will be worth jumping through the hoops once
    or twice to get the account established. Their pricing is good,
    selection extensive, and quality is excellent, on everything ranging
    from tools and findings to metals and mountings and stones. 

    They aren't the ONLY company I buy from, by a long shot, but they do
    represent a sizeable portion of my buying in any given year.
