Source from the best supplier for maximum revenue
Finding the right supplier is the decision that determines your product’s margin, quality, and scalability before a single unit ships. A bad supplier costs you in returns, negative reviews, and stock reliability problems that no amount of listing optimization can fix. We source from verified Chinese manufacturers, vet factories against quality and compliance standards, and manage the import process from sample to FBA delivery.
Why Getting Sourcing Wrong Destroys Amazon Businesses
Most Amazon sellers who fail do not fail because of their listing. They fail because they sourced the wrong product from the wrong supplier at the wrong margin. A supplier who passes the first order and fails the second. A factory that ships on time for 500 units and disappears when you order 5,000. A product that generates returns because the quality specification was never documented correctly before production started.
What Our Sourcing Service Covers
Supplier Research and Identification
We identify candidate suppliers through Alibaba, direct factory outreach, and export history databases. Every candidate is screened for factory verification status, production capacity, export experience, and category relevance before we make first contact. You receive a shortlist of verified candidates with a comparison report covering each supplier’s strengths and risk profile as outlined in our product sourcing guide.
Factory Vetting and Verification
Trading companies presenting themselves as factories is one of the most common sourcing risks on Alibaba. We verify factory status through third-party audit reports, export records, and direct factory communication. Only verified manufacturers with confirmed production capacity for your order size move forward in the sourcing process.
Sample Management
Samples are the only reliable way to assess production quality before committing to a full order. We manage the full sample process including specification documentation, sample request communication, quality assessment against your product requirements, and feedback to the supplier before production approval is given.
Pre-Shipment Quality Inspection
A pre-shipment inspection performed at the factory before goods ship is essential for orders above $3,000. We coordinate third-party inspections that check product quality against your specification, packaging compliance, carton labeling for FBA, and quantity verification. Problems caught before shipment cost a fraction of what they cost after delivery.
Import and Shipping Logistics
We manage the shipping method decision between sea freight and air freight based on your timeline and margin requirements, coordinate with freight forwarders, ensure FBA labeling and packaging compliance before shipment, and handle customs documentation. We factor in FBA storage limits to ensure your inventory arrives ready to receive without delays.
Supplier Relationship Management
A reliable supplier relationship compounds in value over time. We document quality specifications, payment terms, lead times, and production standards in writing so every reorder is consistent with the first. Supplier communication managed professionally so your account is treated as a priority rather than a low-volume buyer to be deprioritized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Amazon product sourcing service, from supplier vetting to FBA delivery.
How do you find reliable suppliers in China?
expand_more
We identify candidates through Alibaba, direct factory outreach, and export history databases that show which factories have a verified record of exporting to markets like the USA, UK, and Australia. Every candidate is screened for factory verification status, production capacity, and category experience before we make first contact. We do not work with trading companies presenting as factories. You can learn more in our detailed product sourcing guide.
What is a pre-shipment inspection and do I need one?
expand_more
A pre-shipment inspection is a quality check performed at the factory by a third-party inspector before your goods are shipped. The inspector checks product quality against your specification, packaging and labeling compliance for Amazon FBA, and quantity accuracy. We recommend pre-shipment inspection for every order above $3,000. Problems caught before shipment cost a fraction of what they cost after 5,000 units have landed at your FBA warehouse.
How long does the sourcing process take from start to FBA delivery?
expand_more
A typical sourcing timeline from initial supplier research to FBA delivery is 8 to 14 weeks. Supplier research and shortlist takes 1 to 2 weeks. Sampling takes 2 to 3 weeks including shipping time. Production takes 3 to 5 weeks depending on order size and factory lead time. Sea freight to the USA adds 3 to 5 weeks. Air freight is faster but significantly more expensive per unit.
Can you source any type of product for Amazon FBA?
expand_more
We source across most general product categories including home and kitchen, sports and outdoors, health and beauty, pet supplies, baby products, and electronics accessories. We do not source products requiring specialized regulatory approvals such as medical devices, food items, or products with complex safety certification requirements without a specific compliance review first.
What is the minimum order quantity I need to get started?
expand_more
Minimum order quantities vary by product and supplier. Most Chinese factories require minimum orders of 500 to 1,000 units for standard products. We negotiate MOQs as part of the sourcing process and identify suppliers willing to work with lower initial orders for new sellers who want to test market demand before committing to larger inventory positions.
Do you manage the freight forwarding and customs process?
expand_more
Yes. We coordinate with freight forwarders for both sea and air shipments, manage customs documentation, verify FBA packaging and labeling compliance before shipment, and track your inventory from factory to Amazon fulfillment center. You receive updates at every stage from production completion through to FBA check-in confirmation.
