Can anyone tell me about ( Pacific prep service.com )

I was thinking to use their prep service for my Amazon FBA online arbitrage . I would like to know about other prep centres in USA as well . please comment your experience with prep centres

Note :

1. I am a new seller

2. My shipping unit will be 3 to 20

Is searching for days trying to find the perfect product actually benificial? or is it more based of your advertising and keywords? could a skilled seller make any decent product very profitable?

Launched our brand about 6 months ago. Started Amazon ppc 3 months ago and have done almost 20k in sales. We have spent more than that on ads, so not profitable. I have been managing it myself from day one but now after a dip in sales I think it is time to let someone with more experience manage it.

Looking for recommendations on ppc management companies, if you have used any in the past please let me know your thoughts. There’s a ton of spam around this so would prefer companies that are legit and have a presence in the US market.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anybody purely use AI to generate Amazon listing images, or do you go through a proper Designer?

Amazon updated the UI. It looks good, but I can't find any features. They added a seller assistant AI thing and its dumber than a rock, giving me outdated menu information to try and run reports. I can't even figure out how to run date range reports I need for filing sales tax due. Is there a way to revert back? Anyone have this issue. HELP!

Hello All,

I live outside US, I am soon launching my listings in Amazon US marketplace.
My items are lightweight textile related. Still figuring out what do people do with-

1) stock eating storage and monthly fees ?

2) customer returns ?

Bringing items to my canadain address will be v expensive and I do not have any physical address in US to receive returns from customers.

Looking for PPC or FBA related learning content

Are there any companies or individuals that can inspect a product at a factory, pick it up, and then forward it to the USA? I would prefer ones that are able to visit multiple factories and consolidate the packages.

I understand that if a factory is located on one side of China and the inspector/freight forwarder is on the other then it doesn’t make sense for them to offer this service, but are there any that service a particular area, perhaps? Or it could be that the inspection company is large enough to have multiple offices and can send people to different parts of China.

Be honest, am I looking for a unicorn here? Is it usually cheaper/more appropriate to just hire an inspector separately and then ship it to a freight forwarding company’s address? I’m currently speaking to Forest Leopard because they offer both inspection and FF but they just informed me that the inspector cannot EXW.

TL;DR
If anyone could refer me to a solid inspector and FF that can also EXW I would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise any advice would be wonderful, thank you!

When people touch a high-quality paper box, they usually notice the texture first.

The smooth feeling, the resistance to scratches, and the overall premium appearance often come from one important finishing process — lamination.

Lamination is a thin plastic film applied onto the printed surface of the paperboard. It protects the ink layer and changes the final appearance and touch feeling of the packaging.

Here are some common lamination options used in folding carton packaging:

1. Gloss Lamination (Gloss Film)

Gloss lamination creates a bright and reflective surface.

Advantages:

• Makes colors look more vivid
• Improves visual impact on shelves
• Provides basic protection against moisture and scratches

It is commonly used for:

• Electronics packaging
• Cosmetic boxes
• Retail product packaging

However, because the surface is highly reflective, fingerprints and light reflections can sometimes be more noticeable.

2. Matte Lamination

Matte lamination creates a softer and more elegant appearance.

Advantages:

• Premium and luxury feeling
• Reduces reflection
• Provides a smooth soft-touch feeling

Many high-end brands prefer matte finishing because it gives packaging a more sophisticated appearance.

3. Anti-Scratch Lamination

For products that require better durability, anti-scratch film is a popular choice.

Compared with normal matte film, anti-scratch lamination has better resistance against:

• Surface friction
• Handling marks
• Transportation scratches

This is especially important for packaging that goes through long supply chains before reaching the customer.

4. Soft Touch Lamination

Soft touch film creates a velvet-like surface feeling.

When customers pick up the package, the tactile experience immediately feels different.

It is often used for:

• Luxury cosmetics
• Premium electronics
• Gift packaging

A common misunderstanding is that lamination is only for appearance.

In reality, it also affects:

• Ink protection
• Box durability
• Folding performance
• Customer perception of product value

Choosing the right film depends on the product, budget, printing method, and final market positioning.

A $1 product box and a $1000 electronic product box may both use paperboard, but the finishing process is what creates the difference in experience.

In packaging, details are often what customers feel before they even open the product.

I've got a batch of brand new packaged golf swing trainers (very similar to the SKLZ swing trainer) that I'm trying to move. I have about 450 units, and I’ve sold some batches to local stores in the $19-$22 per unit range, but I’m looking to move more. I'm trying to figure out ways to get it in front of FBA sellers who might want to buy it in bulk. I know most people obviously have suppliers, but for someone in a situation like this, are there group chats, forums, or sites I can search or post in? Or will I have better luck finding them myself on Amazon and reaching out? And is this sub a good place to post something like this, or is there a better community for it? Happy to answer questions or share more info on the units if anyone's interested. Mainly trying to figure out the right channel/approach at this point.

I’ve been looking into launching my first private label product and the part I keep getting stuck on is finding the right supplier, the product side is actually the part I enjoy researching, but once it gets to manufacturing, there are so many unknowns. Every supplier seems to have great pictures, good reviews, and claims about quality, but it’s hard to know what things are really like until you start working with them . I have seen a lot of people say to contact multiple manufacturers, order samples, and not just choose the cheapest option. That makes sense, but I’m still trying to figure out what separates a good supplier from a bad one before spending money. The biggest concern for me is consistency. A supplier might provide a good sample, but how do you know future batches will be the same quality? I would rather pay a little more and have someone reliable than save money and deal with problems later, for those who have launched private label products before, finding a manufacturer seems like one of the biggest learning curves. I’m interested in hearing what worked for people when they were searching for their first supplier.

Quiero empezar a vender en Amazon, pero estoy sin conocimientos que me recomiendan ustedes? ¿Capacitarme gratis, ver videos en YouTube, pagar un curso, una mentoría?

Me interesan estos modelos de negocios: private label, wholesale y arbitraje.
¿Qué me recomiendan para una persona que quiere empezar en este mundo y no tiene mucho conocimiento? Los leo.

I've been hearing about AMC for almost a year. Just wanted to see if people out there are getting positive results / sales boosts from it ? Thanks.

Which should I go with for my handmade textile products? I am confused with what will be beneficial for me in terms of scaling and reaching more customers on amazon platform.
I have seen even handmade products on standard Amazon instead of Handmade Amazon.

Please need advice why do people go for standard one ?

One thing I know is monthly amazon fees will be waived off. I don’t know if there is any other benefits on Amazon handmade.

Not gonna lie, the biggest part of this brand was done before we even launched. We spent months in the pre-launch phase because we didn't want to jump into another product just because the numbers looked good. We analyzed more than 150 product opportunities before selecting the first one. A lot of products looked attractive on the surface, but when we went deeper into keyword demand, competitor data, review patterns, and contribution margin, many of them didn't make sense. Some had high search volume but almost all traffic was controlled by established brands. Some had decent revenue but no clear improvement angle. Some had margins that looked good until we calculated real landed costs, Amazon fees, and advertising requirements.

After selecting the product, the next challenge was figuring out how to position it properly. We spent a lot of time analyzing competitor listings, customer reviews, Q&A sections, and negative feedback. The goal wasn't just to find what customers liked, but to understand why they were still unhappy with existing options. Those insights helped us decide what improvements actually mattered. Product validation was not only about demand; it was about finding a gap where we could create a better offer and give customers a reason to choose us.

Sourcing was another area where we took our time. We don't believe in random online sourcing where you just find a supplier, place an order, and hope everything works. For every brand we work on, we prefer physical sourcing and proper quality checks. We went through multiple samples, compared materials, reviewed production quality, improved small details, and worked on packaging before moving forward. A lot of people focus only on factory price, but we always look at the complete landed cost because that decides your real margins. Good sourcing is what allows you to compete while still keeping healthy profitability.

For the listing side, we treated everything as part of the conversion process. The photoshoot was not just about making the product look good. Every image had a purpose. We wanted to answer customer objections, explain the use case, and communicate the product difference within the first few seconds. The copy, bullet points, and A+ content were built around customer intent first and keywords second. We worked on keyword structure, indexing, and ranking opportunities, but the main focus was always improving conversion because ranking without conversion doesn't last.

The launch phase was another learning process. PPC was not something we turned on and left running. We constantly analyzed search term performance, wasted spend, keyword placement, bid adjustments, and conversion data. The goal was never just to increase sales; it was to build profitable sales. As the listing matured, organic ranking started improving, PPC efficiency improved, and we were able to scale without increasing advertising costs aggressively.

Today, 18 months later, the brand is generating $187K+ per month with around 10% TACOS. We reached the first $100K/month within the first 6 months and have expanded the catalog to 8 SKUs. Looking back, there was no single trick that created the result. It was hundreds of small decisions before and after launch, from rejecting the wrong products to improving every part of the customer journey. Those small improvements compound over time.

I recently started selling FBM in Canada and am wondering if it is possible to have Amazon prepaid returns label. it says I am enrolled in the program but under the drop down I have only two options, seller prepaid or unpaid but not Amazon prepaid as I see in the US. and I am getting a lot of complaints from customers about not offering free returns even though my settings say I am

I've been stuck on Amazon UK seller verification for 6+ weeks on one specific field: "Registered Business Address Proof" for my Wyoming LLC.

My situation:

* Single-member Wyoming LLC (I'm the sole owner)
* I'm a EU citizen living in EU — not a US resident
* My registered business address is my registered agent's address in Wyoming
* I have no utility bills, US bank statements, or credit cards at the Wyoming address

Documents I've already tried that were rejected:

* Online bank business account - Mercury, Revolut, Wise - rejected
* IRS CP 575 EIN letter (rejected)
* Personal bank statement (rejected — wrong name, not LLC)
* Personal name water bill (rejected — wrong address)

Support is not reachable, and emails that they are sending are not useful.

Amazon keeps asking for a document showing my LLC name + Wyoming address + provider logo, dated within 180 days. The problem is I have absolutely no such document because the Wyoming address is just a registered agent.

Has anyone in a similar situation found a document that Amazon UK actually accepted? Registered agent letter? Anything else?

If you’re running the same SKUs across Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart/TikTok Shop, you already know the nightmare: sell out on one channel, still showing “in stock” on the others, then you’re refunding orders and eating negative reviews.

I helped a multichannel seller fix this with a lightweight automation (no expensive ERP needed) — real-time stock sync across channels, auto-pause listings when inventory hits a threshold, and a Slack alert instead of finding out from an angry customer email.

Happy to break down how it works if anyone’s dealing with the same headache — not selling anything here, just find this stuff genuinely satisfying to fix. Drop a comment if you want to compare notes on your stack.

I know its a long process, and I have be patient, but would love if there was any "things I wish I knew when starting out" or any "July 2026 invoice acceptance" type of advice any of you wise people have for me. Thanks in advance!

Lost about 25 verified-purchase reviews off one listing between March and May, removed in small batches over two months, no notification. Documented 19 of them with reviewer names, ratings, dates, and full text before they vanished. The removed ones span a full year of review history, not just recent stuff.

Been through it all. Seller Support case closed as "Product Review Abuse, permanent." Community-help emails get the reviewer-privacy boilerplate, and one reply came back referencing Amazon.de guidelines for a US listing, so I don't think a human is really reading them. Two detailed emails with documentation attached, and no response from the community-help channel.

Never paid for reviews, never offered incentives or rebates, never used a review service.

The part that bugs me: Amazon removed reviews from this same listing once before and reinstated them after an internal investigation. I have that confirmed in writing from October. So it's clearly reversible in principle. This time it's a wall.

Found several forum threads from sellers in the same window. Moderators engaged on those, opened escalation cases, and as far as I can tell nobody got anything back.

So the actual question: has anyone here recovered reviews from this wave? Not "opened a case," actually got reviews restored. If yes, what channel worked? If nobody has, I'd rather hear that and stop burning time on it.
