Synnex Account
Is it just me or does Synnex require a lot of personal information for account application? Drivers license, personal ssn, sign your life away, etc.

I just signed up with Synnex last week for a Xerox MFP that everyone else was sold out of. Even though they asked for lots of info, I didn't feel that it was extensive. The DL scan was the only thing out of the norm.
The MFP was sold out at Tech Data and had a lower product and shipping cost. Synnex matched without hesitation.
If the product was available elsewhere I wouldn't have signed up with them. However, I've seen a lot of buzz on how well they manage the O365 program.

newegg? you mean paying retail?

My experience with synnex has been that they are either a few dollars below retail or higher. I use synnex for consumer goods however. Usually newegg or Amazon has a sale on that beats synnex prices for my purposes

Your in the msp subreddit but you buy consumer goods for your customers on newegg then marking it up? I'm so confused

It's not just you. I recently jumped through most of their hoops, then they sprung the requirement on me for a scanned copy of my drivers license. I declined to participate. It just seems like an overreach, especially when we we've been in business 9 years.
I know my drivers license number is no big secret, back in the day it was printed on my checks. I guess that was just the last straw and the rep caught me on a bad morning.
