The Challenge

When Six Factories Ship, Nothing Arrives Ready

North Loop sourced across Guangzhou and Yiwu. Cartons landed mixed, labels mismatched their Amazon listing, and creased or loose-stitched units were slipping through.

North Loop sourced from six Guangzhou and Yiwu factories. Cartons arrived mixed and unlabeled to their Amazon listing, and roughly 1 in 20 units showed press creases or loose stitching. Their US 3PL kept rejecting FBA shipments for label mismatch, and returns from creased goods were climbing.

They needed one accountable team inside China to make every unit export-ready before it ever left the country — not another broker passing the problem downstream.

Our Process

Four Steps, One Accountable Team

Every unit moved through one controlled workflow — Receive, QC, Relabel & Steam, then Repack & Dispatch.

01

Receive & Count

All 1,200 cartons were logged and counted by PO the day they arrived, then broken into SKU batches for inspection.

1,200 cartons · 6 suppliers

02

QC & Sort

AQL 2.5 sampling with HD photo reports. 240 defective units were flagged and set aside with evidence — never shipped blind.

03

Relabel & Steam

Every unit swapped to the correct FNSKU and branded hang-tag, scan-verified to the Amazon listing, then steamed to remove transit creases.

04

Repack & Dispatch

Re-boxed to Amazon SPD spec with double QC, freight booked, and handed off with full tracking to the FBA center.

0 FBA rejections
