I help entrepreneurs launch and scale Amazon 2‑Step Dropshipping operations the right way—compliantly, efficiently, and with systems that actually last. Think of me as your co‑pilot: I set up the structure, harden your risk controls, and build repeatable processes so you can focus on sales velocity and smart product selection.
What Is Amazon 2‑Step Dropshipping?
Amazon 2‑Step Dropshipping (often called the “two‑address” or “buffer‑shipment” model) separates order handling into two stages:
- The supplier ships the items to a neutral intermediary (your prep center, warehouse partner, or a vetted 3PL).
- From there, packages are relabeled and shipped to the final Amazon customer under your brand and in line with Amazon’s dropshipping policy.
Why this matters: Amazon forbids having another retailer’s name, invoices, or branding in the box. The 2‑step flow ensures you control labeling, packing slips, and returns routing—so you stay policy‑compliant while retaining the speed and capital‑light advantages of dropshipping.
Who This Is For
- Sellers who want low inventory risk without violating Amazon’s policies
- Brand‑new Amazon sellers needing an A‑to‑Z launch framework
- Experienced sellers who want to stabilize operations and mitigate account health risks
- Agencies or investors scaling multiple storefronts with standardized SOPs

- Performance guardrails for ODR, late shipment rate, and valid tracking rate
- Supplier and 3PL/Prep Center Integration

- 3PL selection and SLA mapping (intake speed, relabeling, same‑day cutoffs)

- Team onboarding for VA’s and operators
How the 2‑Step Flow Works (Day‑to‑Day)
- Order hits your Amazon store → automatically relayed to your 3PL/prep center.
- Supplier ships bulk or singles to your 3PL; ASN is captured and matched.
- 3PL performs intake, quality control, re‑labeling, inserts your branded pack slip.
- 3PL ships to the customer with your chosen carrier and uploads valid tracking to Amazon.
- Returns flow back to the 3PL under your return address; items are restocked or liquidated.
This gives you speed close to direct‑to‑consumer, with the compliance of owning the final ship.
What You’ll Get From Me
- A complete launch in 10–21 days, depending on supplier onboarding speed
- A ready‑to‑operate 2‑step pipeline with tested SOPs and automation hooks
- A shortlist of vetted 3PLs and supplier categories to match your niche
- Hands‑on guidance for the first 50–100 orders to validate process and metrics
Performance Targets We Aim For
- Order Defect Rate (ODR) ≤ 0.9%
- Late Shipment Rate ≤ 4%
- Valid Tracking Rate ≥ 95%
- On‑SKU net profit after fees and shipping: 20–40% with an average 15‑30 day cash cycle
Actual results vary with catalog, supplier fill rate, and pricing discipline—but we’ll build in buffers to protect account health while we scale.
Compliance Notes (Read This)
- Packing slips, labels, and external packaging must not identify another retailer
- You must be the seller of record on every order
- Maintain invoices and brand approvals to respond to authenticity or IP claims
- Returns must route to your address or your 3PL—not to the upstream supplier
I provide templates and checks so these boxes stay green.

- Growth Build: Full operating system, 3PL + supplier onboarding, 40+ SOPs, and launch support
