      How to Identify Private Suppliers on the AutoDS Marketplace?

      To easily find our private suppliers, you can filter using the Supplier option “AutoDS Suppliers.” Just remember that AutoDS is not a supplier itself; we feature private suppliers who are reliable and verified by AutoDS under this option in our Marketplace.

      Also, if you don’t use the filter, you can still identify private suppliers by looking for the “Message This Supplier” button, as only Private Suppliers have this option on our platform.

      Message This Supplier

      NOTE:

      • AutoDS Private Suppliers allow you to message them directly through the platform by selecting “Message This Supplier.” For other regular suppliers that are not private ones, messaging through the platform isn’t available.
      • If you apply filters on Marketplace, you may see more or fewer products, as not all items available meet the specific filter criteria you’ve selected.

      First, you will recognize AutoDS suppliers' products on the marketplace feature  by this icon

      Or, the easy way to find AutoDS suppliers' products is by filtering the marketplace page by Supplier→ AutoDS suppliers. The results will include AutoDS warehouse products and private suppliers.

       

      What is the difference between AutoDS private suppliers and AutoDS warehouse?

      AutoDS warehouse is our fulfillment center which contains thousands of selling products that we sourced (and keep on sourcing each week), so you can use them for your dropshipping business. 

      On top of the products we've imported to our warehouse, you will find AutoDS private suppliers who use the AutoDS platform to spread the rumor about their products.

These features cannot be disabled. For more details about the FBA service, check out this helpful article: A Full Explanation & FAQ about the Fulfilled by AutoDS Service.

      Marketplace Orders

      Important to know📚

      • There is no discount for bundle orders (when there is more then 1 in quantity)

      • Items cannot be customized or personalized

      • Shipping is as mentioned; no faster shipping is available.

      • All private suppliers have the option to exclude any marketplace they want.

        For example, if you see Wayfair as a restricted marketplace, it means that the supplier does not allow to publish his listings and sell them on Wayfair.
