In order to help protect the competitive advantage of Day One clients, we do not provide best-selling lists or product catalogs. Clients send us links or product photos for our team to source.

We do not release product stock catalogs. If a product you submit for quote happens to be in stock, you will benefit from faster, same-day pick & pack. 

If you can find the product on AliExpress, there's a very high chance we can source a manufacturer. As long as the product is still being manufactured, and it's not under any exclusive production contracts or trademarks, our sourcing team can almost always find the product to fulfill. 

• At Day One we care deeply about the client experience, which is why we onboard clients when we have sufficient fulfillment teams available. Responsive customer service is a valuable asset in this fast-moving business, and something we take seriously. Enjoy a personalized fulfillment experience and increase the efficiency of your ecommerce business. 
• Fast shipping is another major benefit of working with Day One. We also provide discreet tracking, so your parcels do not include any origin from China. 
• We have continued to see massive growth over the years, all without traditional advertising. We rely on word of mouth and our stellar reputation to bring in new clients.
• QC is often a pain point in ecommerce, that's why we only work with reputable manufacturers and will find new sourcing anytime a supplier fails to hold up to our standards. In addition to in-house QC, we are happy to arrange samples to be sent, or send videos/photos with product in hand to help insure our clients are selling the products they intend to sell.
• Scalability with DayOne is one reason ecom owners switch to us. As one of the largest China fulfillment companies, there is no risk of the "growing pains" of scaling too big for your fulfillment partner. We have the capacity to handle scaling brands worldwide.

Currently we have a fulfillment MOQs for our services:

• Dropshipping requires 30 total daily orders. This means your store must already be open and fulfilling at least 30 daily orders across all products. 
• Branded Dropshipping requires 100 daily orders.
• Private Label requires 10 daily orders

These fulfillment MOQs are unrelated to manufacturing MOQs. Commitments to purchase stock up front can not circumvent our MOQ policy.

Currently, we do not allow for testing our services by launching new projects. Clients must already be fulfilling at the MOQ level before we can assist with launching new stores.

If you are meeting the MOQ, we will assign a fulfillment team to your account. If not, we can suggest other companies with which to start your store.
