Doubts with a supplier
Hello,
Has anyone done business with NationalDistributor? I was looking at their website and it seems legit as they have phone numbers, physical address. I looked on scam sites like Scamadviser and says it's fake and Trustpilot says it's real. Any idea how I can verify it?

I even don't find a .com website with this name, so I would say it's not trustworthy. But I have never heard about this company.
Anyway, if you want to sell BRANDS you need:
1. A "Letter of Authorization" from the brand allowing you to sell their brand on Amazon.
2. INVOICE (not receipt) from an authorized distributor. An invoice is a document with your name and address, exactly how you registered it in your seller account under "Legal Entity" and "Official Registered Address". And an authorized distributor is a company authorized by the brand owner.

Hi Brigitte, this is the website nationdistributor.com, already have some items ungated on their inventory, I am afraid to invest money with them and lose it, their MOQ is 4000

Just looking at some of the wide range of brands they feature, I have serious doubts that they would not endanger your Amazon account. Typically when there is a business promoting 1000s of brands for your Amazon account, there is usually some fine print hidden somewhere stating that they are not responsible if some of the items they sell you end up getting you suspended.
Typically, an authorized distributor will carry a few brands, maybe even a dozen or so. Big ones might have 100. But when it starts being in the 1000s, that should be a red flag.
Check with the brand you want to sell, and find out what their recommended source is.

Whatsoever, what I said applies to brands, and this authorization you will get only directly FROM THE BRAND and not from a "distributor". Write a kind email to each brand owner you want to sell and they will answer you.

By the way: if you want to sell on Amazon you have to pay attention to EACH and EVERY detail. Here for example you were not able to correctly write the name of this supplier:
