To qualify for commercial account, and receive commercial discounts, you pretty much gotta be a commercial entity, and ship a pretty fair - and steady - volume.
Anticipate a fairly rigorous - but typical - business credit evaluation, calling for both bank and trade references, and figure on submitting a relatively detailed plan or prospectus of anticipated shipping and receiving acticvity over at least a one-year period. The amount of discount available will be determined by shipping volume, payment method and scheduling, and type of shipping desired.
