You get paid on day one.

What we take off your desk

The four hardest things about selling online — done.

Upfront capital

We cut a check for your full minimum order quantity at the PO. Not 30 units against a 500-unit consignment order — the whole run, wired before it ships. Your cash flow stops depending on marketplace payout cycles.

Fulfillment & prep

Inventory ships from your warehouse to ours. We prep, label, and route into our fulfillment network — including marketplace-compliant repacking, FNSKU labeling, and QC inspection before anything goes on a shelf.

MAP compliance, enforced

We hold the line on your Minimum Advertised Price. If a rogue seller undercuts you, we don't join the race to the bottom — we flag, we report, we get takedowns. Your brand equity stays intact.

Returns & customer service

We take the financial hit on refunds and handle every customer inquiry for units we sell. Your team doesn't answer tickets about a product you shipped to us six months ago.

How it works

From intro call to selling — in about two weeks.

No lawyers-back-and-forth for months. We use one reseller agreement, one PO template, and one payment method: a wire.

01

15-minute intake call

Send us your line sheet or catalog and book a call. We'll review category fit, MOQs, and where your product sits in the marketplace today. We move fast — same-week decisions on most.

02

Purchase order + wire

We issue a PO for your MOQ run and wire payment upfront. Payment terms are net-zero — funds hit before your goods leave your dock.

03

Ship, list, sell

You ship the inventory to our Brooklyn fulfillment center. We list under our authorized retailer accounts, apply listing recommendations from our ecommerce analyst, and start selling.

04

Report + reorder

Regular reporting on sell-through, velocity, and listing performance. When inventory runs low we place the next PO — no chasing, no re-negotiation.

Our promise to brand partners

Four things we'll never do to your brand.

  • Undercut your MAP.We sell at the price you set. If a competing seller drops below MAP, we flag and enforce — we don't chase them down.
  • Sell you as a private-label.You are the brand. We're an authorized retailer of your product, listed as such.
  • Return goods for a refund.Once we've paid for and taken delivery of your inventory, it's ours. No consignment claw-backs, no held payments.
  • Hide our numbers from you.Monthly sell-through, velocity, return rate, and review sentiment reports — sent every month, unedited.

Common questions

The things brands actually ask.

What kinds of brands do you buy?+

Consumer goods across pet care, beauty, home, kitchen, outdoors, and automotive. Best fit: brands doing $300K–$10M/yr who want to expand marketplace presence without hiring a full ops team. We're not a fit for extremely regulated categories (RX, controlled substances) or drop-ship-only businesses.

How much inventory do you buy at once?+

Typical first POs range from $8K to $75K, structured around your MOQ. If it works, we reorder — most brands are on 4–8 week reorder cadence within a quarter.

What are the payment terms?+

Net-zero. We wire payment when we issue the PO — before your goods ship. No consignment, no NET-30, no waiting on marketplace payouts.

Who owns the inventory once it's with you?+

We do. Once we've paid for it and it's landed in our warehouse, it's on our books. That means we carry the risk on holding cost, shrinkage, and any listing that underperforms.

How do you enforce MAP?+

We're an authorized retailer, so we sell at your set MAP — never below. When we spot rogue sellers undercutting, we file test-buy reports, contact marketplace enforcement teams, and escalate to your legal contact if needed. We share the enforcement log with you monthly.

Which marketplaces do you sell on?+

Our primary channels are the major US marketplaces. Our accounts are in good standing with clean seller metrics — we won't share account details publicly, but we're happy to walk you through them under NDA.

Do you handle listings and product photography?+

We optimize existing listings — titles, bullets, A+ content structure, review responses — as part of onboarding. We don't shoot new product photography, but we'll tell you exactly what's holding your listing back and can refer photographers we've worked with.

What paperwork do you need from us?+

For onboarding: a W-9 or W-8, a signed reseller agreement, and a resale certificate for tax-exempt purchasing. For each PO: your invoice + packing slip. That's it.

How fast can we go live?+

From intake call to inventory received at our warehouse is typically 7–14 days. From inventory received to listings live: 3–5 business days.
