One of the best benefits of FBM is that used inventory doesn't go back in stock in the return process. Literally the most awful negative reviews we have had are because warehouse Billy sends a customer a heavily used returned product. Amazon takes no responsibility for this and will also not remove the reviews. Amazon can and will tarnish your brand as they are not a reliable "partner."
Great video! We have been using FBM since the pandemic began. We switched from FBA for all of the reasons that you mention. One other reason we switched to FBM is because we were paying shipping on both ends of the shipment - shipment to the FBA center and then shipment to the customer. Amazon dictates the FC you ship to, and how many units that you ship to each FC. It just didn't make financial sense to continue to use FBA in our case. Further, our product was not prioritized on FBA during the pandemic and by using FBM, we were able to continue shipping without interruption. Thanks for the balanced video. Great stuff!
That's awesome!! 🙌Thanks so much for sharing your experience, and I'm glad you're finding it more profitable using FBM 😀We actually just uploaded a full FBM walkthrough video if you haven't seen that already! Hopefully there's a few helpful nuggets in there for you, I'll link that video here: ruclips.net/video/GYEsMcSZCL4/видео.html&t
If I go with FBA, do I pay for the shipping separately on each product that goes to my customers? Or is the shipping accounted for as part of the "lump sum" fees I pay for FBA?
This is awesome!! I’ve been wanting to try FBM but I’m worried my sells will go down? Has been it been worth it for you guys to switch and still continuing to stay busy? ❤
I'm just curious as to why you say that?? I totally agree with you because I do FBM, but I'm sure you got some insider information that I and, I'm sure a lot of other people, would love to hear... Right on bro!
What about changing from selling used books (usually only 1 unit of each book) FBA to FBM, including already existing FBA inventory? I'm sick of Amazon losing so many of my books and never giving any explanation or accountability.
Sorry to hear this! You can either keep the products in FBA for now until everything is sold then switch to FBM. Here's a forum discussion that could help! sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/forums/t/is-it-easy-to-downgrade-to-fbm-from-fba/232338
I started out with FBA. Then the 4th quarter hit. OMG the FEES the FEES. It's insane. Now doing both. Like you said for small items I do FBA and if I have competitions. I do FBM for heavy items and if I don't have competition.
The problem with FBA is that they offer free returns always. That cost a lot of money to the seller. FBM must accept returns but not necessarily free? the customer pay for the return. any feedback? is this correct?
There are pros and cons to both! While using FBA, the return is free, but you can re-stock the item to sell it again or get compensated for it. With FBM you may need to cover the costs of the return, not the customer.
Hi, I hope you guys are doing well. You guys are doing a great job. I have a request. Would you like to make a complete video on the FBM method just like you guys made on the FBA method? I'll be thankful to you🙂
Yes, they're both on Amazon and can be under the same listing! FBA will just be fulfilled by Amazon whereas as FBM the products would come to you to ship to your customers.
@@junglescout I will try, that's about 24 hours on hold! I have seen a few others as I've searched for things for myself. Here's a link to show you the problem. ruclips.net/video/K8YVlBrdKmE/видео.html

Here are the steps you will need to follow the steps to properly add another SKU to change from FBM to FBA: 1. Log into your Amazon Seller Central. 2. Select the Inventory tab at top of page. Select Manage Inventory. 3. Find the SKU that you would like change from MF to FBA, and the correlating ASIN. COMMON PITFALL >> Please do not click "Edit" on an item and select "Change to fulfilled by Amazon". This will cause more harm than help, please DO NOT click this option. We cannot troubleshoot issues that are caused by converting an FBM SKU to FBA. 4. Select the Inventory tab at the top of page. Select "Add a Product". 5. Enter the ASIN of the product (example: B00OPF9HQO). 6. Select "Sell Yours". 7. For the SKU, enter the identical SKU from the product (TN-4F0Y-AEL4). Add the -FBA suffix at the end of the SKU. (example: TN-4F0Y-AEL4-FBA) 8. Select "Advanced View" on the right hand side. Select "I want Amazon to ship and provide customer service for my items if they sell." 9. Select "Save and Finish". Listing Mirror will now pull in this new listing data from Amazon. You can view both your FBA and FBM SKUs on your Manage Duplicate Listings page (original SKU vs. original SKU-FBA).
Will my sells go down if I do some order being FBM? I wanted to store some things at my home and try FBM a little bit I didn’t want my sells to go down?
Outstanding content.As a beginner,I am getting useful info. and trying to understand the things from yr channel .Great and superb content.Yr comparative analysis is outstanding. Suggestion 1: Plz. make a complete series on FBM biz. model .We need more and more content. Suggestion 2: Plz make a series of videos on Amazon Associate programme(affiliate marketing). I hope my both suggestions will be taken into consideration and will be waiting for videos on it.Thanks
Hey! I recently launched my very first product. I have an individual account and signed up for FBM for now. I took care of SEO and all other vital info about the product yet my product doesn't show up in the search. Only when I mention my brand's name with it i.e. "UForia cotton canvas tote bags", then it shows up. & even then you cannot see the price next to it until you click on it. Can you please help me with what I might be missing? I am so worried, Will appreciate your help a lot. Thank you!
What if you're just starting out? and you're just trying to test the waters selling lightweight products so I don't plan of even starting out with a massive inventory
Which Amazon fulfillment method do you use? FBA or FBM 🤔 Let us know here in the comments!

Omg I wondered why I kept seeing people complaining about recieving dirty, used items !
Don’t forget that that lose your shit too. And then refuse to reimburse you
But FBM shipping is expensive

Yes, they're both on Amazon and can be under the same listing! FBA will just be fulfilled by Amazon whereas as FBM the products would come to you to ship to your customers.
If you're the only company selling a product, why doesn't the price appear in the search with the photo? I hope you can tell me 😊
That's odd, if you are the only one, it should show! Reach out to Seller Central!

@@junglescout so FBM would be better? Then depending on how it goes I’ll move up to FBA?
We always recommend the FBA method, but you can definitely start with FBM and then upgrade to the FBA ☺️
