What is a distributor?

A distributor is the appointed wholesale channel for specific brands within a defined territory — they hold authorised distribution rights, carry deep stock of the brands they represent, and sell exclusively through trade buyers. Buying through an authorised distributor gives you the cleanest paper trail for marketplace compliance (Amazon brand-gating, eBay authorised reseller status) on the brands they cover. The verified distributor accounts on WholesaleUp span FMCG, electronics, fashion, beauty, and homeware across the EU, UK, and North America.

How do distributor territories work?

Distribution rights are licensed by territory — a distributor authorised to sell brand X in the UK may not be authorised to sell into the EU or North America. Each profile lists the territories the distributor is appointed to cover. If you're buying for a specific market, filter or shortlist by the distributor's authorised territory to ensure post-purchase support (warranty, returns, brand-marketing co-op) is available where your customers are located.

Can a distributor unlock Amazon brand-gating?

Yes — buying from an authorised distributor produces the paper trail (commercial invoice + distributor's authorisation letter) that Amazon requires to ungate restricted brands. The distributor's authorisation document can be uploaded to Amazon's Brand Approval portal as part of the unlocking workflow. Confirm with the distributor BEFORE purchase that they'll provide the authorisation letter on company letterhead — it's standard practice but worth verifying for the brand and category you're targeting.

How does distributor pricing compare to manufacturers?

Distributor pricing carries a small premium over going direct-to-manufacturer (typically 5–15%) in exchange for several advantages: faster fulfilment from in-region stock, lower MOQs (no production-run minimums), warranty + returns support, and the authorised-reseller paper trail. For most retailers the trade-off favours distributors unless you're operating at production-run scale or need bespoke private-label specifications.

What's the difference between a distributor and an importer?

A distributor sells the brands they're appointed to represent within their territory. An importer handles cross-border sourcing — customs clearance, duty calculation, regulatory compliance, freight consolidation — and may sell across many brands without exclusive rights. Distributors give you brand-specific authority + warranty support; importers give you broader sourcing capability for products manufactured outside your local market.

Can I become an exclusive distributor for a brand?

Some brand owners on WholesaleUp are open to appointing new distributors, including on exclusive or semi-exclusive terms in territories they don't currently cover. Browse the brand owners directory, shortlist by category fit + your target territory, and use Send Enquiry to open a distributorship conversation. Brand owners typically request a distribution business plan + projected first-year volume before formalising terms.
