Product clue

Find and confirm the product before planning labeling and prep

Use a link, image or product name. The confirmed product becomes the reference; sales platform, SKU count, labels, packaging and warehouse evidence remain separate inputs.

Prep services

This is intake readiness. Public pricing stays hidden without a current operator-approved rate card; final price and timing also depend on arrived goods, files, carton condition, platform rules, capacity, and manual review.

Scope & evidence detail

Prep scope

  • No prep service selected yet

Evidence to collect

  • Product link or image, SKU list, unit count, carton count, destination country, and receiving channel
  • Confirm whether SKU, barcode, FNSKU, or carton labels are needed

Warehouse instructions

  • Confirm goods can be identified by SKU, color, size, model, or supplier mark after arrival

Next action

Complete the missing intake fields.

Manual review is required for fragile goods, batteries, liquids, complex kitting, strict platform categories, certification, or unclear label files. Prep timing starts only after goods arrive and can be identified.

Intake ready

Core context is collected for operator review; no price or timing is approved yet.

Needs files

SKU, barcode, FNSKU, or insert files missing.

Manual review

Fragile, regulated, strict platform, or repack risk.

Add context

Units, SKU count, cartons, or destination unclear.

What counts as prep

Simple work should be visible before the order moves

This page is for China-side receiving and visible prep tasks, not hidden factory QC or a platform approval promise.

Remove Chinese labels

Supplier stickers, price tags, or local marketplace marks when practical.

SKU / barcode labels

SKU, barcode, FNSKU, or receiving labels when files and placement are clear.

Polybag / simple repack

Basic clean packaging, simple repack, or insert cards for small batches.

Photo evidence

Receiving, label close-up, carton, finished prep, and issue photos.

Route fit

Prep changes by where the goods go next

A Shopify test batch, TikTok Shop order, Amazon FBA shipment, 3PL handoff, or own-warehouse delivery can need different label files and evidence.

Shopify / TikTok test

SKU labels, supplier-label removal, polybag, and simple photo proof.

Amazon FBA / 3PL

FNSKU or barcode files, carton notes, receiving rules, and stricter review.

Own warehouse

Carton identity, SKU split, photo checklist, and outbound handoff notes.

Source switch from AliExpress

Check whether 1688 goods need prep before replacing the current source.

Service boundaries

Quote simple work clearly, review complex work early

Usually a simple scope

Visible labels, simple SKU or barcode work, polybag, insert cards, basic repack, and photos still require arrived-goods review.

Needs review

Fragile items, liquids, batteries, strict platform categories, unclear files, or changed packaging.

Not in current scope

Long-term WMS storage, complex kitting, lab inspection, certification, legal compliance, or platform approval.

Operator quote inputs

What must be clear before prep can be priced and scheduled

Product link, units, SKU / variant list, carton count

Destination path: customer, 3PL, FBA, TikTok, Shopify, or own warehouse

Label files: SKU, barcode, FNSKU, carton labels, insert card, or file status

Photo checklist: receiving, label close-up, carton, damage, finished prep

Manual review signals: fragile, battery, liquid, strict platform, regulated, unclear packaging

Do not approve a supplier shipment just because basic prep looks cheap. Confirm arrived goods, SKU identity, label files, carton condition, platform rules, and photo evidence first.

FAQ

Labeling and prep calculator FAQ

Is the prep calculator a final quote?

No. It is an intake-readiness screen. A price estimate appears only with a current operator-approved rate card; the final quote also depends on arrived goods, files, carton condition, platform rules, capacity, and manual review.

What prep work can Supplymo handle right now?

Supplymo currently focuses on basic label removal, SKU labels, barcode or FNSKU labels when files are ready, polybag, simple repack, insert cards, photo confirmation, counting, and shipping handoff notes.

What makes prep require manual review?

Manual review is needed for fragile goods, batteries, liquids, strict platform categories, regulated products, complex carton rules, unclear label files, complex kitting, or certification-sensitive products.

When does prep timing start?

Prep timing starts only after goods arrive, can be identified, and required label or packaging files are available. It should not be treated as a fixed delivery-time promise.

Can prep change landed cost?

Yes. Labeling, polybag, repack, carton handling, photos, and changed dimensions can affect China-side cost and shipping assumptions before an operator reviews the quote.

What should I submit for a prep quote?

Submit the product link, units, SKU count, carton count, target platform, label file status, prep needs, photo requirements, destination, and any fragile or regulated goods signals.

Next step

Submit product context before requesting a prep quote

Send the product, units, destination, sales channel, label files, arrived condition, and prep needs. Supplymo can review the intake and active rate card before supplier payment.

Prep belongs inside the shipping decision.

Labeling, repack, photo proof, carton count, and changed dimensions can affect landed cost, warehouse handoff, and whether the product should move at all.

Before supplier payment

Check the product and supplier before you pay

Paste one product or supplier link. Supplymo checks match quality, supplier risk, MOQ, landed cost, prep, and the right next step before payment.
