Why you need a great supplier to run your business on Amazon?
Let’s get the facts straight – your supplier is your partner and your greatest support.
Suppliers directly influence the timely fulfillment of your orders.
You need a lot of time and effort to find the best supplier, and investing
in the search for a reliable supplier is the best financing in your business.
Types of Suppliers
Let’s focus on four most popular types of suppliers for e-commerce businesses: dropshipping suppliers, wholesalers, liquidators, and manufacturers.
They are the most popular suppliers for e-commerce businesses. They take care of your inventory and fulfill your orders.
Wholesalers provide store owners with the opportunity to buy large quantities of goods at a much lower price. The more goods a customer purchases from a wholesaler, the more discount they will receive while ordering.
Liquidators make large purchases of overstocks, returns, closeouts, and similar items. Then they resell these items on the market in repackaged bundles of different sizes.
These suppliers give you the opportunity to purchase goods directly from the manufacturer. They offer great prices but often require massive minimum orders, meaning you have to pay a lot up front. These suppliers are a great option for well-known sellers with experience and resources to work with.
What to consider when choosing a supplier?
There are several factors one should consider when looking for a supplier:
Shipping time;
Shipment methods (which transport company the supplier cooperates with);
How they track packages;
Their return policy;
Feedback from other sellers who have worked with this supplier.
