3PL suppliers for amazon wholesale
If you are buying on Alibaba for the first time, you don’t know how to keep your money safe. You can tell us your needs and we will give you some reference plans.
If you have already found a supplier and need to help you do some product quality control, we have a complete quality inspection supporting service.
If you have placed orders from multiple Alibaba suppliers and need cargo consolidation/prep services, we can help you collect the goods and check them to give you feedback.
Our company generally offers international shipping services, including road freight, air freight, ocean freight, courier service, warehouse, and customs clearance from China to Amazon FBA directly.
1. Achieve the best quotations from Chinese Manufacturers.
2. We negotiate with the company on your behalf.
3. You can pay through our Alibaba escrow service.
4. Follow the production and ensure quality of the products.
5. Offer one-month free storage for your goods in our warehouse.
6. We will help you acquire the best shipping prices from China to Amazon FBA.
First of all, customers will send us the products they want to introduce. It’s important to note that the Amazon FBA sourcing agents are not looking for winning products for you. Instead, you have an idea of the product and need we help to realize it.
For example, a customer sends us a request for a specific product. After we understand their needs, we will find a suitable supplier. We do not look for the cheapest supplier, but rather one that can meet the customer’s requirements.
We take into account factors such as custom packaging and shipping when calculating the total landed cost. This includes the cost of sampling, the time it takes to create a sample, and the time it takes to produce the bulk goods.
Once the customer agrees to the price and time period, we will charge the fee for sampling and begin arranging the production of samples. When we receive the sample, we will take photos and send them to the customer for final review. If the sample does not meet their requirements, we will request a new one.
When we confirm that there are no issues with the sample, we will send it to the customer for final approval. Once they approve it, we will collect payment and begin mass production.
During the production process of large-scale goods, we communicate regularly with manufacturers to ensure that everything is on schedule. If any problems arise, we will inform customers in a timely manner.
For large orders, we conduct a final quality control check when production is complete. This involves conducting random inspections on products and coordinating with manufacturers if there are any serious quality issues. We also check product labels and other details one last time.
Finally, we will provide customers with a quote for international shipping. It’s worth noting that we do not choose the cheapest shipping option because it can often lead to problems. Instead, we select a reliable shipping channel with proper shipping rate.
Once the goods are sent out, we track their status until they are signed for by the customer.
Of course, whether or not to use an Amazon FBA sourcing agent depends on whether you have tried finding the product yourself on Alibaba. Although they cannot make decisions for you, they have experience working with many Amazon sellers and can provide valuable insights in certain details.
Essentially, an Amazon sourcing agent is a freelancer who charges a flat fee or commission sourcing company to source products for you according to your needs and complete some ancillary actions such as labeling, product assortment, quality control, etc.
