For Amazon.com sellers
Books wholesale for US Amazon sellers: the questions we get asked.
What do I see on each book before I buy?
- Your trade price in USD beside the Amazon.com listing matched by ISBN: the Buy Box price, Amazon fees, sales rank, an estimated monthly sales figure, and the estimated unit profit and 90-day ROI that follow. Book sales estimates are labelled as estimates and shown only where the source data exists.
What is the minimum order for books?
- $3,000 per order in the books range for US accounts. Minimums apply per range and do not combine with toys or consumer goods in the same basket.
How do I avoid buying the wrong edition?
- Match the ISBN on the Athena line to the exact Amazon listing you plan to sell on — paperback, hardback, workbook or box set — before you model margin. The catalog shows the ISBN on every line and the product page links the identifier so you can check the listing yourself.
Where do book orders ship from?
- US orders ship from our US warehouse. At checkout you choose delivery to your address, shipping straight into an Amazon fulfilment centre, or Ex Works collection by your own carrier. Prep and FNSKU labelling can be added for this range (with an optional Seller Central integration for FNSKU and MSKU labels). Costs are confirmed with you before billing.
Will the invoice work for Amazon approvals?
- When an invoice is issued it matches the payment schedule: a commercial invoice for a single-payment order, or a deposit invoice first and a later balance invoice on a deposit schedule. Athena-issued invoices can be downloaded as a PDF from your orders area once issued; portal-invoiced orders open on the invoice portal instead. The document is issued by Hector Solutions, Inc. doing business as Athena Wholesale, with our US address and contact details, the legal business name from the account at generation time, the billing address stored on the order at checkout, and each product as its own line with identifiers and quantities, in US dollars with no VAT. For Amazon documentation use the commercial invoice or the final balance invoice, not the deposit document. Amazon decides each application itself and no distributor can guarantee the outcome.
