Stock & distribution
Do you buy stock as a one-off or can we set up repeat orders?
Both. We can make a single purchase to clear surplus or slow-moving stock, or set up a regular monthly buying arrangement if you want a reliable, ongoing route to market. Most of our brand partners move to repeat orders once the first deal is done.
How quickly do you pay once a deal is agreed?
Fast. We're not Amazon Vendor with NET60+ payment terms. Once a purchase order is confirmed, payment is processed promptly — you're not waiting months to see cash from your own stock.
How does your distribution network work?
Rocketfuel3 runs alongside Brand Direct Services, our family wholesale business supplying independent retailers across the North of England. So your stock has more than one way out — across the online marketplaces and onto real shop shelves — all from one facility.
What volume do you need — is there a minimum order?
We buy in volume, so we work best when there's meaningful quantity to move. Get in touch and we'll quickly tell you whether it's a fit — no drawn-out process.
Is there a limit to how much stock you'll take?
No fixed cap. We scale the offer to match what you're moving, from a single pallet to ongoing repeat volume.
What kind of stock or brands do you buy?
We look at a wide range of categories case by case. Send us the details and we'll tell you straight away if it's a fit.
Do you buy returns or overstock, or only new sealed stock?
We're primarily looking for new, sellable stock.
What if the stock doesn't sell — who carries the risk?
We do. Once we've purchased your stock, it's ours and you've been paid. Whatever happens from that point is our responsibility — that's the whole point of a true buying partnership.
Markets & listings
Which marketplaces can you put our brand on?
Amazon UK & EU, TikTok Shop, Temu and Superdrug Marketplace — plus our own wholesale distribution network. Pick one destination or send your brand everywhere; we'll advise which markets suit your products.
Can you manage TikTok Shop as well as Amazon?
Yes. TikTok Shop is one of the fastest-growing retail channels in the UK and we operate on it. We'll assess whether it's right for your product and handle everything from onboarding to content to fulfilment.
Can you get our products onto Temu?
Yes. Temu has a huge and fast-growing UK audience. We'll tell you honestly whether your range suits the platform, then handle the listings, pricing and fulfilment.
What about Superdrug Marketplace?
It's a strong fit for health, beauty, wellbeing and lifestyle brands — your products online under one of the UK's best-known high-street names. We'll check your range fits and manage the listings, stock and customer service.
We already have an Amazon listing. What happens to it?
We take it over, clean it up and run it properly — optimised titles, bullet points, imagery, A+ content and a full PPC strategy, all managed by our team. You'll see the difference quickly.
Do you handle PPC and paid advertising?
Yes. We manage sponsored products, sponsored brands and campaign optimisation — all aimed at driving visibility and sales, not just spending budget.
Will our products be eligible for Prime delivery?
Yes. Every product we list on Amazon is fulfilled through our Prime-enabled operation. Prime delivery is a baseline — not a bonus.
Do you manage Brand Registry and A+ content?
Yes. Brand Registry enrolment, A+ content creation and storefront management are all part of what we do. A well-protected, well-presented brand performs better — and that benefits both of us.
What happens to our existing reviews?
They stay exactly where they are — reviews belong to the listing, not to whoever's managing it. We build on what's already there.
How long before we see results?
Most brands see measurable movement within the first 30–60 days as we work through optimisation, ads and review generation.
Working with us
How does RF3 make money if there's no retainer?
We make our margin from selling your products, not from charging you upfront. That means we only do well when your products do well — our incentives are completely aligned with yours.
Can we still sell through our own channels alongside RF3?
Yes. We don't demand exclusivity. You stay in control of your own direct sales channels — we handle the marketplace and distribution side.
What if it's not working out — can we walk away?
Yes. We don't do locked-in contracts. If it's not the right fit, you can walk away. We'd rather earn your partnership than trap you into one.
How do you report back on performance?
You'll receive regular growth reports covering sales, marketplace rankings, advertising spend and return, and any brand or competitor insights. You stay informed without managing the day-to-day.
You have a 4.9-star rating — how do you protect it with new brands?
Carefully. We only list products we're confident in, and we manage every part of the customer experience — listing accuracy, delivery speed and post-sale support. We've built that rating over seven years and we protect it on every order.
Do you work with brands outside the UK?
Our focus is UK marketplaces, but we're open to hearing from international brands looking to sell into the UK.
