Can I use your product images and descriptions for my listings?
Product images and descriptions belong to the original manufacturers. We recommend creating your own listing content or using manufacturer-approved images for your ecommerce listings. Contact brands directly for image usage policies.

Start with your wholesale per-unit cost, add shipping and marketplace fees, then set a retail price that covers all costs plus your desired profit margin. Our case pricing makes per-unit cost calculation straightforward. Visit our pricing FAQ for more on wholesale costs.
Do you provide UPC codes for reselling purposes?
All products come with manufacturer UPC codes on the original packaging. These UPC codes can be used for Amazon, eBay, and other marketplace listings that require product identifiers.
Is there a maximum quantity I can order for reselling?
There is no maximum order limit. For very large or pallet-quantity orders, contact our sales team directly to confirm inventory availability and arrange freight shipping. See our shipping FAQ for freight details.
