Zendrop offers a broad catalog of products sourced from multiple suppliers across the United States and China, including items listed under supplier names such as “Amazon Products.” This article clarifies what those supplier labels mean, how they relate (if at all) to Amazon as a corporation, and what implications they have for shipping and packaging.
1. Overview: Supplier Names vs. Corporate Affiliation
Products listed on Zendrop with the supplier name “Amazon Products” are not directly affiliated with Amazon the company (Amazon.com, Inc.) in terms of corporate ownership or integration. They are products supplied by third parties that leverage Amazon’s fulfillment network or distribution channels. Zendrop sources these products through vetted U.S. suppliers, enabling faster domestic delivery for U.S. customer orders.
2. How to Identify Shipping Origin and Supplier
Zendrop’s catalog distinguishes products based on their shipping origin and supplier name, which impacts delivery times and packaging:
Supplier Name Indicators
“Amazon Products” — Typically indicates the item is stocked and fulfilled by a U.S.-based partner, often leveraging Amazon-like fulfillment systems. These products are shipped from within the United States and can deliver faster domestically.
“Zendrop Fulfillment” — Items sourced from Zendrop’s fulfillment network in China. These generally have broader international shipping coverage.
To confirm a product’s shipping origin and supplier, merchants can review the Supplier Name field in the Zendrop dashboard while browsing products or managing existing listings.
Note: You do not need an Amazon Seller account to list or sell these U.S.-sourced products in your store. These items are processed and fulfilled through Zendrop’s supplier network, not through an Amazon Seller Central account or Amazon marketplace integration.
3. Packaging: What to Expect
Products sourced from suppliers labeled “Amazon Products” will arrive in Amazon-branded packaging including:
Amazon-labeled boxes
Amazon envelopes
Standard Amazon fulfillment materials
This is a known characteristic of these suppliers because they distribute from facilities aligned with Amazon’s network.
4. Operational Considerations for Merchants
Delivery Performance
U.S. Domestic Deliveries: “Amazon Products” frequently deliver faster within the United States because they ship from local warehouses and use Amazon’s proven logistics networks via their suppliers.
Customer Communication: Given the presence of Amazon-branded packaging, you may want to inform customers in your product listings, shipping confirmations, or customer support responses that certain items will arrive in Amazon materials rather than your own branding.
Amazon Products on Zendrop have only one variant because they come from U.S. suppliers’ ready-to-ship inventory, which limits size, color, or configuration options.
In summary:
Products labeled “Amazon Products” on Zendrop are sourced from U.S.-based suppliers that often fulfill through Amazon distribution systems.
These products will arrive in Amazon-branded packaging, and this packaging cannot be customized with your own brand materials on Zendrop.
If you require fully white-label packaging or personalized unboxing experiences, consider products fulfilled through the Zendrop Fulfillment supplier or through custom packaging programs such as the Private Agent Program where available.
