Samples and product quality
Request samples and define the quality standard before placing a larger order. Confirm the materials, dimensions, colors, variants, accessories, and visible finish that the final products should match.
Supplier timing and order details
Clarify minimum order quantity, production time, lead time, reorder timing, communication, and what happens if quantities or specifications change.
Packaging and labeling
Discuss individual packaging, protective materials, product inserts, barcodes, FNSKU labels, carton labels, and whether the supplier can apply labels accurately or will send products to a prep partner.
Carton and freight information
Request carton count, carton dimensions, carton weight, units per carton, shipment timing, destination information, and the freight terms needed for planning.
Inspection before FBA preparation
Define how products will be checked for quantity, variants, condition, packaging, labels, and completeness before they move to FBA preparation or shipment.
Prepare a clear handoff
Keep the SKU list, product details, packaging instructions, inspection criteria, shipment plan, and supplier documents together. This gives the receiving or prep team a consistent reference point.
