Why Most Sellers Struggle with Product Sourcing

Finding the right product is only half the battle. Without the right strategy and supplier support, sourcing can quickly lead to delays, poor quality, and lost sales.

Here are the most common challenges sellers face:

Unreliable Suppliers

Many new sellers find suppliers online without knowing how to check for credibility, which can lead to product delays, poor quality, or broken communication.

StarterX Solution:

We verify suppliers, manage outreach, and build sourcing partnerships you can rely on.

Poor Product Selection

Choosing products based on guesswork or trends can result in low sales and excess inventory.

StarterX Solution:

Our team uses market tools to identify products with real demand, stable margins, and long-term potential.

Quality Issues and Compliance Risks

Sellers often skip factory checks or don’t understand Amazon’s requirements for product quality and labeling.

StarterX Solution:

We handle quality checks, sample reviews, and product compliance to ensure your FBA readiness.

Complicated Logistics

Customs, shipping terms, and warehouse prep can be confusing, especially when dealing with international suppliers.

StarterX Solution:

We support you with supplier coordination, shipping strategy, and FBA prep instructions so your inventory flows smoothly.

Time-Consuming Manual Work

Managing sourcing on your own eats up time that could be spent growing your store.

StarterX Solution:

We streamline the sourcing process from research to fulfillment support, saving you hours each week.
