    Hi All

    I'm new here and also just getting started as an Amazon FBA seller. I found a free tool while browsing Reddit called ImportYeti that allows me to see the suppliers for my competitors.
    Any ideas on how tools like this get their data? It seems too good to be true.

    This is really cool. Thanks for sharing this.

    I have no idea how they get their data.

    I found the supplier for Rep Fitness (one of my biggest competitors) but for the life of me can't find how to contact one of their suppliers:

    https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/jiangsu-fortune-land-group

    Any ideas?

    I have no idea how to find that company. I've been struggling with the same thing for a few vendors. I found another site called PortExaminer that is similar and they mention they get their data straight from the government

    I found a quora thread where they essentially say you can request the information straight from the government so I think you're right. The thread mentioned 1/2 dozen other tools that do this although they charge a but load. I wonder how hard it is to request the data?

    I've had some good luck finding lot's of other vendors. That one is still super challenging though.

    I did a little bit of research and it's super difficult to get this information. Can you please share some of the quora threads you referred to in your post? Thanks, mate
