Starting a New Wholesale Business on Amazon

The world of Amazon wholesale is growing rapidly, with countless opportunities for new entrepreneurs to start and scale profitable businesses. For Pakistani entrepreneurs looking to tap into the massive US e-commerce market, Amazon provides a global platform with endless possibilities. However, success on Amazon doesn’t come overnight. It takes strategy, compliance, logistics, and ongoing support. This is where Max 3PL, in partnership with Coastal Distribution Group USA, becomes an indispensable partner for your Amazon wholesale journey.

This guide walks you through everything you need to start a wholesale business on Amazon, with special focus on how Max 3PL helps Pakistani sellers break through international barriers and build sustainable income streams.

What Is Amazon Wholesale?

Amazon wholesale involves buying brand-name products in bulk from authorized distributors and reselling them on Amazon for a profit. Unlike private label or dropshipping, wholesale is about leveraging existing brand equity and proven demand.

  • High-volume potential
  • Easier product validation
  • Prime eligibility with Fulfillment of products by Amazon (FBA)

Who Should Start Amazon Wholesale?

  • Those who want a repeatable system
  • Pakistani entrepreneurs  or wholesalers who want to build international businesses

Why Amazon Is the Best Platform

Advantages of Selling on Amazon:

  • Built-in buyer trust
  • Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
  • Access to the US market without having a physical presence
  • Tools, automation, and metrics for growth
