Due to a recent investment in my book business, I am going to need thousands of boxes in the next year or so. I usually buy Aviditi boxes through Amazon, but I figured that this time, due to the large volume, I should go wholesale and cut out the middleman.
Much to my surprise, I have been unable to find wholesale contacts for Aviditi. Aviditi.com is a firewall, and is not clearly the company that sells boxes even if I could get through.
Doing a TESS on Aviditi leads to BOX Acquisitions LLC DBA BOX Packaging LLC and searching that to the website boxpartners.com looks like a “match”.
If not the same people, it certainly looks like the “wholesale” (or at least volume) type of company you’re looking for.
I get my cardboard to make my custom boxes from a local Indianapolis distributor brownandpratt.com. I use them because I can local pickup the cardboard sheets instead of delivery. There are lots of companies like them to buy through rather than Amazon.
In my experience, that’s not a particularly uncommon occurrence if a participant in the 1P/Vendor Central Program is using the “Amazon Direct Fulfillment” Program’s dropship methodology (rather than what has historically been the more-commonly employed option available to such sellers, of actually storing the goods in this or that Amazon facility, and replenishing said stocks upon Amazon’s request).
“Rules for thee, not for me” - as most all of the long-time sellers here like you already know - has always been baked into the pie, right from the get-go.
I highly doubt it. In the past I may have been able to do it, but sales are about what they were for me when I first joined Amazon. It’s really pathetic.
