Hello Joseph Cruz, how are you doing? Thank you for taking a moment to leave me your feedback and input, especially when it's your first time. I appreciate it! I'm happy to hear you found the video and template helpful. If you have any questions, let me know!
Thank you the reply. Recently I started watching your videos and some more to catch-up. Before I watched your videos, I was depressed for almost 6 months for losing money in my current businesses. Now I got a big hope , hope to follow your footsteps and learn from you, Hope you can give your tips like 1688 or Yasiv .. so I can learn tricks that put me on the Amazon map
You're welcome, I'm happy to help! Just know that most people are going to fail at any new thing they try, whether that's business or learning a new skill or going to the gym. Just know what you want to accomplish and that it is attainable, you just have to stay focused and persistent. Everyone makes mistakes. Don't let them and self-doubt stop you from moving forward.
Great job!!! Many don’t get that this is a small business must have a strict steady fast criteria n quality is everything represents your brand👌🚀👍🏾

I really count myself lucky because I have a mentor who has been successful in fba for 2 years. He has told me to avoid all the mistakes that he made at the beginning. I am pretty sure I will still make mistakes as this is all new to me.
I just wanted to say that after all the you tube videos and research I have done on amazon fba you are by far the best and most genuine guy I have come across.
I believe I will be successful and you sure have helped me along the way 👍

Thanks Crescent,
I've tried arbitrage and wasn't successful and I stumbled upon your content. Extraordinary info, great content!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found value in the content! Sorry to hear you struggled with arbitrage. If you have any questions with private label, let me know.
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
You are awesome buddy! I didnt find the template . Is not longer available ?
You’re welcome! The download link is in the video description.
I purchased a course and honestly have learned so much more from your channel! Thank you for your clear concise information and delivery. One question, can your private label name be your LLC name?
I'm glad you're finding value in the content! It doesn't have to be but it should.
Crescent Kao thank you Crescent, I appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing I love your videos! I was wondering if I could ask you a question regarding Amazon FBA can I message you?
Hello Kaiya Wester. Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoy the videos. Yes, you can contact me through any of social links found in the video description.
Thanks for the contact template. Can we also get a copy of the spreadsheet you made to keep track of quotes from suppliers?
You're welcome Kareen Dahab. The spreadsheet for keeping track of details from your suppliers will differ depending on your product and how each person likes to keep data organized. Just keep track of each detail in its own column from each supplier such as the price for each MOQ, any changes to the product, cost of any extra items, cost for any variations, different shipping options, lead times for manufacturing and shipping, etc etc.
Many thanks.. really very good material Crescent.
Any possible ways to pay them the sample fee other than PayPal?
Is it preferable to include in my personnel contact a URL that represents my business? if so what is your suggestion?
Every supplier is different. You'll have to ask them what they prefer and are willing to accept. I can't answer on their behalf. If you want to look more professional, then an email address from a real domain is preferred but not necessary.
Hi Crescent, i can,t download the link it directed me to the same video. I hope you can send me the download form. Thanks
Thank you for the detailed and informative videos. That disturbing beep sound is super annoying, IMO.
You're welcome destinicoach! I'm happy you found value in them and I appreciate your input!
Thanks a lot for the video, very usefull, indeed! Just 2 questions: If I'm starting and don't have a private label on Amazon yet neither a e-comerce name, etc, should I just identify myself as an individual seller in the corresponding fields of the template? Also, from the template I can see you negotiate with the supplier the entier shipping process. Does it mean they will manage the customs and all the papers? Thanks a lot!
Your account and business type on Amazon has nothing to do with how you communicate or conduct business with the supplier. The supplier isn't going to know, ask or care about your business type or your Amazon business. As for the shipping details or any other aspect of the contract with your supplier, you need to discuss with them to agree to any terms and responsibilities.
Thanks
How does DDP by sea work
You're welcome. It's no different than DDP by air: ua-cam.com/video/jK0WsjXimK0/v-deo.html
Thank you for this great video,meanwhile i didn't receive the contact template after i put my name and email on the page.
You're welcome. Please check your spam folder. If you still can't find it, contact me via Facebook or Instagram and I can send it to you.
@@CrescentKao It seems to take a little while to come in - maybe 15 mins or so
hello Crescent!
Do you have a contact template for trade assurance in making payment to alibaba?
Hello Will Luague. I do not. Just fill out the trade assurance contract or have your supplier fill it out. But make sure you've documented everything in the contract.
Another great video with amazing content! Thanks a lot Crescent.
I have a question: I have not launched my FBA business yet, but have been talking to suppliers on Alibaba and have secured a product I believe has great potential. I liaised with suppliers exclusively on the AliBaba chat platform, which I agree with you is not great. If there is a dispute between both parties, can communication outside the Alibaba ecosystem be relevant? Just asking as, often, messages on Alibaba chat come up as follows: "Always keep your communication and transactions on Alibaba.com website or app. Communication and transaction records will form the basis of dispute resolutions."
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome! I'm glad you continue to find value in the videos. You need to document everything you've agreed to in the sales contract. Whether thats using Trade Assurance or your own contract: ua-cam.com/video/HCwQU4XUMag/v-deo.html
@@CrescentKao makes perfect sense. Thanks a lot for sharing Crescent
Crescent I can't stop watching your videos! I have found my first product, and I am now on the step of contacting a supplier and working out the logistics. It's scary! I am looking to ship the product directly to Amazon once I make my orders. Is there a specific address I should be telling my supplier to ship to? Or is it the same address in your email template?
I'm glad to hear you find value in the content! You'll get the warehouse address once you've completed a shipping plan: ua-cam.com/video/meB4xYEI8Z0/v-deo.html
Crescent Kao you are the absolute best Crescent.
Thanks for your feedback and support, I appreciate it!
I have 3 questions:
While creating an account on alibaba, one of the field is company name which says "must be legally registered company" but I don't have any registered company or I neither have any private label name, because I am an individual who is just starting this very first time (no experience) , how do I register on alibaba without company name? do I have to register
Similar question, I downloaded email contact template and it also has place holder for company name but I don't have one - actually it says " We’re an international company based out of [city, state]" But I don't have any name . what should I put it in the template ?
When I send an inquiry on alibaba to supplier, do I receive an email or do I only get response on alibaba? which one I check?
THanks
1) Make up a name, they don't check
2) Make one up or remove that live if you don't want to
3) You'll get a reply from the supplier, if they respond.
Hello Crescent. I have product, but I can’t find in Alibaba. Can you recommend moulding company?
Try searching on Google.
Could you help me with a copy of the letter for the supplier?thanks so much.your videos have been very very helpful.
The download link is in the video description.
Crescent Kao thanks so much!
I haven't gotten an email to confirm my login for the Mastery group. Anyone know why I wouldn't get that? It says to contact a board member on the site but it won't let me do that unless I'm logged in and I can't get logged in until I get the email to verify. ??? Thanks
Please check your spam folder. If you'er still having trouble, let me know.
In the first paragraph , the part where you said THE CEO wanted me to contact you is that part really necessary??? It felt like too much.
It's not necessary, you can customize it however you'd like. You just want to sound professional.
Hello, can I ask you a question? :) Im a brand new seller and this will be my first order. How do I know which location I'm sending my product to? Does Amazon assign it to me? What if at the time I'm contacting manufacturer, I don't yet know which warehouse I will be using? Your letter template had an address of an airport in TX. Thank you so much for clearing it up for me :)
Hello kristina barovic. You will get the final warehouse shipping address(es) when you complete the shipping plan. This video goes over it: ua-cam.com/video/meB4xYEI8Z0/v-deo.html
If you're looking to get a shipping quote, then use the address in the contact template.
Thank you for your answer! I appreciate it *thumbs up* How long have u been doing amazon FBA?
You're welcome. Happy to help. It's been over a year for me now.
I have a doubt. To sell products on a large scale, more than 500 for example, does it have to be a private label? if i find a good product to sell, i look for a supplier in china and ask to do a similar one by inserting my brand? but then the product would not be different? wouldn't you have to ask Amazon for permission to include a new product?
No, you don't have to private label. However, if you're selling generic products and you don't private label, you'll run into issues with hijackers on your listing and you won't have any IP protection.
If you do an order for $2K, wouldn't it be a little greedy to ask for the $5-6 deduction for the sample?
Samples are usually $60+/each.
Hey Crescent! In this email could I also ask them to take the product pictures for me? I'd like to cut it short without hiring separate people...And also is this negotiable with suppliers? Thank you! :)
It doesn't hurt to ask. And everything is negotiable: ua-cam.com/video/4AlhsmgAJmE/v-deo.html
Question ! Where would we get pictures for our product listing? Would we be able to borrow the product's pictures from Alibaba or would we have to take our own photos?
Also, if we are shipping directly from supplier to FBA warehouse, how would we get pictures of our product then?
Thank you :)
If your product is already at Amazon, you can create a Fulfillment Order and send your photographer a unit. Otherwise, if your supplier is still manufacturing it, then have them send a unit to your photographer as soon as they are done with production. You can find really good photographers on fiverr.com Just search for "product photographer".

i dont suggest using the manufacturer photo as it makes it way easier to find your manufacturer. a reverse google image search will bring that alibaba listing right up so someone can contact the factory minutes after finding your product.
Do new still use that address for Amazon warehouse?? Theres many Amazon warehouses now.
Yes. It really doesn’t matter which you choose. The bulk of the shipping costs is crossing the ocean.
@Crescent Kao For example, if amazon wants us to ship it to multiple warehouses, do we give those addresses to the manufacturer? Thank you

Hello M. Kao, any chance to re-activate the link for your SUPPLIER CONTACT EMAIL TEMPLATE, because it brings me to a page of your forum, not the document..Thank-you!
You can download it from the forum.
@@CrescentKao ok Thank-you!
If suppliers are asking for tax charge, how should I go about dealing with that? I feel like you said before that tax shouldn’t be factor when dealing with suppliers
They are probably asking about duties. It's best to clarify with them.
@@CrescentKao Sorry, could you clairfy what "duties" are as well? Is it just the labeling, packaging that they have to do?
Duty is tax imposed on the products you're importing: ua-cam.com/video/EUK_065nV3M/v-deo.html
it's required to do private labeling or it's depends ?
Private label is just one of many different ways you can sell on Amazon.
This video goes over another option: ua-cam.com/video/Z3efYWmxplk/v-deo.html
Hi Crescent, Have you ever heard of any FBA seller creating an agreement with a supplier, where the supplier actually accepts financial responsibility, in any way, for product faults/defects that are obviously due to a manufacturing issue? I have in mind, knowing that a seller should use post-production and pre-shipment inspections, a hypothetical situation where an ethical supplier would agree to reimburse the seller, in some pre-determined amount of money, for creating and supplying to the seller a defective product. Am I in la-la land or has this ever happened to your knowledge?
Hello. Yes, it's pretty common. Mistakes and accidents happen. It's just good business practice for them to do so.
@@CrescentKao Thanks for your response, Crescent. Going further, I watched the video you suggested about further negotiating with suppliers, but it did not address this particular point, which was broken or defective products, that I saw. How might you suggest introducing this idea to a supplier and phrasing the negotiation? I would assume that the principle of 'keeping it simple' would apply here. Any feedback would be appreciated.
This goes over it. Make sure you have it spelled out in your contract: forums.amazonbeginnermastery.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=381&hilit=Contract
I could not download the free email template. Could you help me

Hello Crescent, On question 4, it makes sense to ask about a 300-500 MOQ price w/ air shipping, but the 5k MOQ doesn't make sense because I'm assuming the air shipping would be too expensive for that quantity? [unless air's cheaper]
Wouldn't it be better to ask for a 5k MOQ quote w/ sea shipping? Assuming it's cheaper than air shipping. Preferably I'll go w/ DDP. Thank you
You can ask for a quote for whatever you'd like. The higher MOQ is just to lock in a price if you were to order from them in the future as well as make it sound like you're a serious buyer.
there's no option to download the template

Hello Crescent, Do you have anyone put "Made in China" stickers on your products that are made in China before they are shipped?
My suppliers put them on. Either its on the same FNSKU sticker or I have it printed on the packaging as part of the graphics.
+Crescent Kao
Ok Thanks
The template is not downloading???

Thanks got it
stop pointing at me lol
All the Total/U are wrong in your chart. Example 100 Units: Total C\U ($400) + Total S\U ($600) + Total Labeling ($2) = $1,002. $1,002/100 = $10.02. NOT $10.12.
Damn auto correct :/
This video is for Amezon.. 90% he covered Alibaba. Its again cheating with viewers.
If you’re doing private label products, you need to have your products manufactured. Alibaba is the best resource to find manufacturers.
