I am placing a big order (considering my account level) from a distributor. Is it a good idea to add 10 unit of brand(s) that I would like to ungate on my account along with this order?
It is a national distributor with FC in several states and high MOQ but I have not used its invoice for ungating before.
I would only try one ungating brand at first to see if AZ accepts it.
I also only buy 3-10 of an item at first to test, even if you have to buy else here at a loss.
Don’t assume you can sell anything just because others are.
I have had around 20 items that I have never been able to get the buy box on when sold at the same price as others. I have had to take a loss on these 20 items to liquidate after 180 days of no sales.
Definitely. The big distributors are actually known for sure by amazon. If you have checked their “age” and they already have a bunch of years on the market…all is well
Yes, it’s a good idea to add 10 units of brands you want to ungate. Ensure the invoice includes your business information, item descriptions, and quantities. Amazon usually accepts invoices from reputable national distributors, which can help you get ungated.
