Frequently Asked Questions (Amazon)

  • Do you have a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
    • MOQ is 1 case pack of any item.
    • Orders under $150.00 are charged a $2.50 order fee and $.25 per carton ordered.
    • If you order was $90.00 and 3 cartons, the fee would be $2.50 + $.75 = $3.25 total
    • We do not want to prevent anyone from buying but need to cover the overhead.
  • Do you ship directly to Amazon FBA?
    • Yes - you MUST be ungated for said items. (if not, you will have to ship to your location) we cannot provide images.
    • We are also unable to generate invoices prior to shipping your merchandise.
  • Do your invoices help with ungatting for Amazon?

  • Are all inventory items new?
    • Yes - Everything is new and direct from the manufacturer.
    • We are an authorized seller for ALL our products.
  • What is the handling fee at checkout?
    • This is a “re-boxing” authorization done at the time of “checkout” ultimately to save you money on shipping.
    • We are unable to determine how many total cartons your order will consolidate into. (we “repack” your cartons into big boxes that fit many cartons, this is proven to be cheaper)
    • We overestimate these “re-packed” cartons used so orders do not require an additional authorization on a customer’s credit card.
    • Each re-box carton fee is only $4.50 - we do not open the item carton; we place them into the bigger carton(s)
    • You will see this fee adjusted on your final invoice sent via email once your order is confirmed shipped.
    • Please also note even with these fees we have seen 30-60% reductions in shipping costs when comparing consolidating your cartons vs not consolidating your cartons.
  • Amazon Ground Shipments
