MAP Pricing Commitment
An open letter to our brands, manufacturers, and distribution partners.
FR SPORT is committed to adhering to our partners’ minimum advertised price (MAP) policies. We take pricing discrepancies seriously and act promptly to bring affected listings into compliance.
Report a MAP issue
Please email purchasing@frsport.com for all MAP reviews and resolutions.
MAP issues are usually resolved within 1 business day, with a maximum of 48 business hours after we receive complete, accurate information. Business days exclude weekends and holidays.
Tell us exactly what to review
- Scope: Clearly state whether your request concerns specific part numbers or an entire brand. Include the brand name, affected manufacturer part numbers, and product links or screenshots when available.
- Correct pricing: Provide the current MAP policy, applicable MAP prices and currency, effective dates, and any authorized promotions or exceptions.
- Price sheets: For a full review, send your latest complete price sheet, preferably in Excel or CSV format, with part numbers and MAP prices clearly identified.
- Contact: Include your name, company, and a contact for any pricing questions.
We will review every item you send and update all affected listings to the correct applicable MAP. If you send an entire price sheet, we will check every listed item for compliance against our catalog and correct any discrepancies.
How our pricing updates
We update pricing through connected API and data sources, including SEMA Data Co-op, ASAP, and Turn 14 Distribution. When your brand supplies current MAP pricing through these connected sources, those updates should flow through automatically. Accurate upstream data and effective dates help prevent discrepancies; if an update is missing or incorrect, please contact us directly so we can resolve it.
A fair opportunity to resolve concerns
We respectfully ask for fair, consistent treatment, accurate information, and the time outlined above to review and apply corrections. Please share policy changes and updated price sheets in advance whenever possible, and give us an opportunity to resolve a reported issue before escalating it.
We value our brand partnerships and take our responsibility for MAP compliance seriously.
