Wholesale selling is a velocity business: branded goods bought thin, sold fast, reordered again. The prep center's job isn't to make your product better — it's to get distributor pallets off the truck, verified, relabeled and into an Amazon-bound shipment before carrying cost eats the spread. That's what our Medley dock is tuned for.
The wholesale model earns differently than every other Amazon strategy. You don't invent products or hunt clearance racks — you buy recognized brands from authorized distributors at a discount and win on execution. Which means the profit was locked in the moment you negotiated the PO. Operations can only preserve it or leak it.
The leaks have names. A pallet that sits a week before processing is a week of capital cost on inventory bought on net-30 terms. A short-shipment nobody counted becomes an invoice you paid in full. A distributor's UPC left exposed under a lazy relabel becomes commingled stock — or a stranded listing.
So a wholesale-tuned prep floor optimizes for three things: dock speed, count accuracy, and relabeling throughput. Everything at our Medley facility routes toward those — pallets are broken down and counted against the PO on arrival day, discrepancies are documented with photos while your distributor claim window is wide open, and label lanes run at case-quantity scale.
There's also a structural bonus: replenishing a wholesale account is reordering, not remanufacturing. Once a SKU's prep recipe is on file — case decision, label placement, bag-or-not — repeat POs process on rails, and each turn gets faster than the last.
| Wholesale reality | How the floor answers it |
|---|---|
| Margin fixed at PO time | 24–48h dock-to-carrier standard keeps carrying cost off the spread |
| Goods arrive in someone else's packaging | Case-packs forwarded intact or split to Amazon's template — decided per SKU |
| Manufacturer barcodes everywhere | FNSKU relabeling with scan verification, run at case-lot volume |
| Distributors make mistakes | Line-level PO counts + same-day photo reports = credit claims that stick |
| Repeat POs, same SKUs | Prep recipes on file — every reorder processes faster than the first |
LTL or full truckload unloads into your account's staging lane — no appointment gymnastics, Mon–Fri 9:00–18:00 EST.
Every line checked against the PO; shorts, overs and crushed cases photographed and reported before the day ends.
Cases forwarded intact or split to Amazon's spec, FNSKUs applied over manufacturer barcodes, scan-verified.
Shipment built with box content data and handed to the carrier — your capital back in motion.
LTL and truckload freight unloaded, broken down and staged by SKU — full dock mechanics on our pallet receiving page.
Line-by-line counts against your purchase order, with photographed evidence for every short, over and substitution — ammunition for distributor credits.
Forward the master case untouched or split to Amazon's counts — the cheaper path chosen per SKU. Build details on our case packing page.
Manufacturer UPCs covered with your FNSKU at case-lot speed, every unit scan-checked — workflow owned by our relabeling page.
Expiration dates verified at receiving, short-dated lots flagged before they ship, expiry labels applied in Amazon's required format.
All your suppliers ship to one dock; inbounds merge into combined FBA shipments when it trims placement costs.
Batch-day economics work for the warehouse, not for you. Here the 24–48 hour clock starts at unload, because on a wholesale spread, dwell time is the silent line item that decides whether the PO was worth placing.
By then it's unprovable. Our counts happen at the dock, against your PO, the day freight lands — so the discrepancy email reaches your distributor while the claim is still theirs to honor.
Usually a case-pack mismatch: master cases sent as-is when Amazon expected different counts. We check each SKU against the template and split only where required — fewer receiving errors, less money spent re-casing what didn't need it.
This is why our relabel lane scan-verifies every unit rather than spot-checking cases. The manufacturer barcode must be unreadable at Amazon intake — on wholesale volume, 99% coverage is a liability, not a score.
Two things dominate: speed and someone else's packaging. A wholesale seller buys branded goods at a margin measured in single digits, so every day a pallet sits unprocessed is financing cost and rank decay. And the goods arrive in the distributor's case-packs with the manufacturer's barcodes — so the work is verifying, converting and relabeling stock you didn't package, fast, rather than quality-gating a factory run.
Yes — LTL and full truckload pallets are our daily bread. Give your distributor our Medley dock address, and each pallet is broken down, reconciled line by line with your PO on landing day, and photographed if anything arrived crushed or short. The dock mechanics are covered on our pallet receiving page.
Both, and choosing correctly saves real money. If a case matches an Amazon case-pack template — identical SKU, uniform count — it can flow through nearly untouched with box content data attached. If Amazon wants different counts, we split and re-case to spec. Our case packing page owns the how; this decision is one we'll make with you SKU by SKU.
Yes. When you sell under an FNSKU rather than commingled UPC, every unit gets your label over the manufacturer's barcode, scan-verified so the old code can't be read at Amazon intake. The specs and workflow live on our relabeling service page — for wholesale sellers it's usually the single highest-volume task we run.
Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours from receiving to carrier handoff. For wholesale accounts we treat that clock as the product itself: your buy-side margin is fixed the moment the PO is placed, so the only lever left is how quickly stock starts selling. Pallets don't wait for a weekly batch day here.
You'll know before you've paid the invoice blind. Every receipt is counted line by line against the PO, and discrepancies — shorts, overs, wrong variants, crushed cases — are reported the same day with photos. That report is your evidence for a distributor credit, filed while the shipment is still fresh on their books.
Yes. Dated goods are a wholesale staple, and Amazon is unforgiving about remaining shelf life. We verify dates at receiving, flag lots that are too close to expiry to send in, and apply expiration-date labels in the format Amazon requires — so a distributor's aging stock doesn't become your stranded inventory.
Constantly — distributors love shipping one pallet with fourteen SKUs layered like geology. We break it down, sort by SKU, count each line against the PO, and stage every SKU into its own prep lane. Sorting complexity affects labor, not accuracy: mixed pallets get the same line-level verification as clean ones.
Yes — most wholesale sellers run three to ten supplier relationships, and our dock is built to be their single convergence point. Each inbound is logged under your account with its own PO reference, and goods from different distributors can merge into combined FBA shipments when that cuts your inbound placement costs.
Tell us your monthly pallet or case volume, how many SKUs you run, and how much relabeling your catalog needs. Pricing is per unit — no setup fee, no monthly minimum — and the rate sheet arrives within one business day, so you can put real numbers into your next PO's margin calc.
Give us your monthly pallet count, SKU spread and how much of your catalog needs relabeling. You'll get per-unit numbers to drop straight into your PO margin sheet — and a dock that turns freight in days, not weeks.
