Where to Source Your Product From?

The first step is to select where you source your product from. This is important as it can set the tone or influence the trajectory of how you will do as a seller.

The best sourcing website for Amazon include:

Alibaba – like its namesake the website is a treasure trove for finding bulk products that can be sold on Amazon.

Some other sourcing websites include

AliExpress – an extension of Alibaba that is more geared to providing better quality products at factory pricing. This might be the option if you only plan to sell limited products easier to navigate. However has a lower number of named brands, and meaningless options.

ALLTIMETRADING – A good option if you want to sell a niche hard-to-find merchandise sourced domestically within the USA.

3RD PARTY QUALITY CONTROL

Once you have your product selected it is highly recommended to use a company that offers inspection services for Amazon FBA. Amazon does have certain criteria that are required to be fulfilled before you can list your product on the website store. Therefore, getting your product professionally inspected allows you to keep the quality of your product in check.

Make sure that the product you are delivering does not get rejected due to something as simple as the packaging weight and dimension as well as other Amazon criteria.. Seeing how comprehensive the Amazon requirements are is better if you choose a company that specializes and is well versed when it comes to what Amazon allows and doesn’t allow. Doing this will not only save you time and money now but also any future trouble that may arise if you decide to carry out your own inspection.

Uline – They have an easy-to-navigate online ordering system and also provide the option for branding if you want to go that route.

Global Industrial – Being in the industry for over 70 years they are also a good option to consider.

Now, when it comes to the actual transportation, you want a shipping partner that fulfills the assurance that the product will be delivered as promised (not be broken due to mishandling). This is why it is better to research all of the shipping carriers that you can find and go with the one that you think fits best with your brand. Some of these include USPS, UPS, and FedX. However, feel free to do your own research and go with the one that you think fits best with your business model.
