Crown Membership
Massive savings for your whole organization.
Our lowest pricing on every product, for every buyer on your account — built for government agencies, counties, school systems, facilities groups, contractors and non-profits.
How far can your pricing go?
Every account saves. Members save the most.
A free account takes 5% off web prices the moment you sign in. Approved trade, government and distributor accounts go deeper.Crown Members skip the ladder entirely: Discount Kings becomes your purchasing agent and your whole organization buys at our lowest price — on every product, in every department.
How it works
1. Tell us about your organization
A county, a school system, a facilities group, a contractor or a non-profit. We confirm eligibility and the tier your purchasing supports.
2. Your whole team signs in
Every buyer on your account sees member pricing on every product page, listing, quote and cart — one price for the entire organization.
3. Buy at member pricing
Our lowest price on every line — no markup games, no minimum order. Your first month is free, so you see real pricing before you pay anything.
What you save — company-wide or county-wide
Membership pricing applies to every buyer on your account and every product on the site: lighting, HVAC, solar, electrical, plumbing and pool. For an organization that buys every month, that adds up fast. Move the slider to see an estimate for your purchasing.
Monthly membership fee
The fee is set by your average monthly purchases over the trailing three months and reviewed monthly. Moving down is automatic; moving up takes two months above the band, so one big project never raises your fee.

Members only · once a year
The Annual Volume Buy: once a year, we buy as one.
Every year, we collect every member's projected needs — the lamps, drivers, filters, breakers, fittings and fixtures you know you will use — and place one massive order direct with the manufacturers. On your own you might buy 1,000 of an item over a year. Together, our members buy 500,000. The manufacturer prices the whole order at that volume, and you get the 500,000-unit price on your 1,000.
Nothing is stocked, warehoused or marked up along the way: your share ships direct from the manufacturer to your sites on the schedule you set. It is simply the deepest pricing in the program, reached by purchasing power no single organization could bring to the table alone.
- Members only
Access to the Annual Volume Buy comes with every membership tier. - Your forecast, our leverage
You tell us what you expect to use over the year; we pool it with every other member and negotiate the whole volume at once. - Manufacturer-direct
One order, placed straight with the maker, priced at the combined quantity. - Shipped direct, never stocked
Your items ship from the manufacturer to your locations when you want them — no warehouse, no inventory, no carrying cost built into your price. - Once a year
One window, one order. Member pricing covers everything else, every other day of the year.
What members get
The fee buys a service, not just a price. Every tier gets the core service; higher tiers get more agent time and reporting. Service levels are commitments: a missed quote deadline in a month waives that month's fee on request.

Every tier - Written quotes within one business day, formatted for your PO or bid file
Every tier - Cost statement for any order on request
Every tier - Access to the Annual Volume Buy — one pooled, manufacturer-direct order a year at combined-member volume pricing

Enterprise
Who it's for
Government agencies & public entities
Federal, state and local government agencies, counties, cities, authorities, school districts, technical colleges and universities. You buy under your own procurement rules; the fee is invoiced, never prepaid beyond a month, and every benefit flows to the entity.
Businesses
Electrical, lighting, HVAC and solar contractors, property managers, facilities groups and resellers buying for their own projects and inventory.
Non-profits
501(c)(3) organizations, churches, private schools and hospitals buying for their own use.
A membership is held by one organization, never an individual, and covers that organization's own purchases. Goods bought at member cost are not for resale. The membership agreement and fee scale are being finalized; the numbers on this page are the introductory scale and the agreement governs for members.
