This established eCommerce business has been operating since 1999 and specializes in shipping, packaging, and fulfillment supplies sold across its own website, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Zoro, phone and email orders. The business has developed a broad customer base and long-standing supplier and carrier relationships over more than two decades of operating in the eCommerce industry. The business works with approximately 12-15 suppliers, primarily located throughout the United States, with nearly all products sourced domestically. Inventory is stored and fulfilled from the company's own warehouse, with orders shipped through a range of carriers and regional providers. A key strength of the business is its differentiated product range and vendor relationships. The company sells several products with limited or no direct eCommerce competition, Several of these opportunities have been developed through long-standing vendor relationships, including arrangements that allow the business to purchase products at quantities that may no longer be available to other smaller retailers. The business also benefits from a unique FedEx agreement that provides cost and operational benefits to the business. This is particularly valuable for high-volume products and the business actively rate-shops orders across multiple carriers and continues to explore additional shipping relationships to reduce fulfillment costs. Operations are currently managed by the seller and the seller's wife, with approximately 50-60 hours per week of combined involvement focused primarily on administrative and desk-based responsibilities. The seller also assists in the warehouse when required. The business is supported by one full-time warehouse employee who has been with the company for approximately nine years, along with an additional warehouse worker supplied through a staffing agency. The company has also developed its own custom order management software, which integrates its various marketplaces with shipping carrier APIs. The system allows the business to rate-shop individual shipments, synchronize pricing and inventory quantities across sales channels, and create new marketplace listings. The software currently supports eBay listing creation, with Walmart functionality also being developed. There may also be an opportunity for a buyer to further develop and commercialize this software as a standalone product for other eCommerce merchants. Growth opportunities include expanding the company's range of differentiated and environmentally friendly packaging products, strengthening existing supplier relationships, adding new vendor partnerships, expanding the dropshipping program, and continuing to optimize shipping costs through new carrier agreements. The Seller believes the company's extensive industry relationships are one of its strongest competitive advantages, with suppliers, technology providers, and shipping carriers frequently approaching the business with new products, services, and partnership opportunities. With more than two decades of operating history, a diversified presence across multiple sales channels, established fulfillment infrastructure, long-standing supplier and carrier relationships, a differentiated product catalog, and proprietary operational technology, the business presents an opportunity for a buyer to acquire an established eCommerce operation with several avenues for continued growth. Disclaimers: The legal entity section of the Seller Central account is currently locked to the United States meaning a buyer would need a legal entity in this country for a quick transfer. Alternatively, it is possible to unlock this section, and doing so could delay the migration process. If the legal entity section cannot be unlocked, the buyer reserves the right to reverse the deal. Inventory is not normally included in the list price, further details can be provided to Unlockers. As the 2 largest marketplaces are Amazon and WooCommerce, this revenue has been verified through screenshots and the API. The Seller mentioned the business receivse some special pricing to one supplier due to proximity.
