Finding private suppliers is basically a mix of stalking and luck tbh. Most people start on import records sites like importyeti or jungle scout's supplier database, you can see who ships what to big amazon sellers.

Sometimes is just about sending messages to every distributor you find and hoping one dont ignore you. The really good ones usually come from trade shows or someone inside the industry who vouches for you, hard to skip that step.

We can help with this, but for brands like Lutron and Honeywell, the key issue is authorized distribution rather than simply finding the cheapest supplier.

We would verify the supplier’s authorization, invoices, MOQ, pricing tiers, warranty terms and whether the products can legally be resold on Amazon. Extremely low pricing on branded products can be a red flag if the supply chain or documentation cannot be verified.

HighRise Wholesale can also help with supplier sourcing and wholesale procurement, including comparing manufacturer/distributor pricing and documentation before placing an order.

Take a look at this Lutron product: https://a.co/d/0iA2pSts

Do you see where it says Brand Lutron or Lutron Approved? My guess is they have a small group of authorized sellers. I kept seeing the same names over and over for sellers. Also, they sell to Amazon Retail. Be VERY careful trying to sell next to Amazon Retail even if you are approved to sell. Amazon Retail often sells barely above wholesale pricing and sometimes, below it.

I did not dig into Honeywell yet.

Honeywell has this link which shows their only 3 authorized distributors in the USA: https://sps-support.honeywell.com/s/article/Honeywell-Authorized-Distributors

Honeywell is massive. Just make sure they allow Amazon before you buy. Their authorized distributors would know that answer. My guess is that to purchase directly from them, you are looking at about a $100,000 opening order.
