For brands & distributors

A reseller you can approve with confidence.

You should vet every reseller carefully. This page is our standard in writing: how we source, price, list and care for your products, and what we send you before the first order ships.

The ACA Brand Standard

Eight promises. In writing.

We'll sign these into your reseller or MAP agreement. If you don't use one, this is still exactly how we work.

Send us your policy

  1. Authorized supply chain only

    We buy only from you or your authorized distributors. Every unit we sell traces to a commercial invoice, and those invoices are ready for any marketplace review. No liquidators, closeout brokers or retail arbitrage, ever.

  2. MAP is a hard floor

    Your MAP is set as a minimum in our repricing rules on Amazon, Walmart, eBay and our own sites. The day your policy changes, our prices change. We would rather lose a sale than lose your price.

  3. Your listings stay yours

    We sell on your existing listings and follow your Brand Registry content. No duplicate ASINs or item pages, no rewritten titles or images, and no multipacks or bundles without your written approval.

  4. Channel limits respected

    If your policy limits where your products can be sold, by marketplace, geography or exclusive partner, we follow it. Tell us where your brand shouldn't appear and it won't.

  5. Never commingled

    Our units are labeled to our own account, so they never mix with other sellers' inventory in a fulfillment center. Every unit a customer receives from us traces back to us, and to you.

  6. New, sealed, rotated

    We sell factory-new, sealed product only. It's rotated first in, first out, with lot and expiry tracking where it applies. Damaged units are pulled and never sold as new.

  7. Customer care that protects your name

    Buyer messages are answered within one business day, and returns are handled under each marketplace's policy. If we see a product-quality pattern, we report it to you before it turns into reviews.

  8. A clean exit

    If we ever part ways, we sell through remaining stock at or above MAP, or follow your instructions. We never dump inventory to clear a shelf.

What you get

More reach. Less channel noise.

An authorized reseller should make your marketplace presence stronger and cleaner, not give you one more seller to watch.

Coverage beyond Amazon

Your line on Walmart Marketplace, eBay and direct storefronts as well, so you reach more shoppers without opening, staffing or watching those accounts yourself.

Steady, predictable orders

Reorders are planned from real sell-through, so you get consistent purchase orders instead of one-off buys.

Eyes on the market

We send you the MAP violators, counterfeit listings and listing errors we spot on the channels where we sell, so you hear about them early.

Reporting on request

Ask any time for sell-through, inventory on hand and pricing by channel for your line, and you'll get it.

Onboarding

Paperwork, packed and ready to ship.

Most brand applications ask for the same things. We send them on request, usually the same day.

For gated brands on Amazon and for Walmart's authorized-reseller program, we'll ask for a letter of authorization on your letterhead after the opening order is approved. We use it only for the marketplaces you've agreed to.

Questions brands ask

Straight answers.

Something not covered here? Email leny@ancientcitygroup.com, and the owner will reply.

Where does your inventory come from?
Only from the brand or its authorized distributors. We don't buy from liquidators, closeout brokers or anyone who can't show a clean chain of custody, and we keep the invoice for every unit.
Will you follow our MAP policy?
Yes. MAP is a hard floor in our repricing rules on every channel, and we'll sign your MAP agreement. When the policy changes, our pricing changes the same day.
Do you need a letter of authorization?
For gated brands on Amazon and for Walmart's authorized-reseller program, yes. Once an opening order is approved, we ask for an LOA on your letterhead naming Ancient City Associates LLC. We use it only to get approval on the marketplaces you've agreed to.
Will you create new listings or bundles?
Not without your written approval. We sell on your existing listings and follow your Brand Registry content.
Is our inventory commingled at Amazon?
No. Our units are labeled to our own seller account, so they're never pooled with other sellers' stock, and anything a customer receives from us can be traced to us.
Can we restrict which channels you sell on?
Yes. If you want your line on Amazon and Walmart but not eBay, for example, tell us and we'll keep to it.
What payment terms do you work with?
We can prepay an opening order by card, ACH or wire, then move to your standard net terms once credit is set up.
What happens if we stop working together?
We sell through remaining inventory at or above MAP, or follow your instructions for it. We never liquidate your product below your price to clear it out.
