Selling on Amazon<\/a> requires many important decisions that you\u2019ll have to take at each step. If you\u2019re worried about choosing the right shipping<\/a> method for your products, you\u2019re at the right place.<\/p>

In this blog, we will walk through everything that you need<\/a> to know about Fulfillment by Merchant, a type of fulfillment method where the seller handles everything from picking, packing, and shipping their products.<\/p>

Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM)<\/strong><\/h2>

Amazon Fulfilled<\/a> by Merchant or FBM is a fulfillment method in which an Amazon seller<\/a> is responsible for every step of the fulfillment process including packing and shipping. The seller can choose to deliver products directly or by a third-party delivery service.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

As FBA takes time to set up, new amazon merchants can only fulfill their orders via FBM.<\/p>

How to set up FBM for your products?<\/strong><\/h3>

1. List your products on Amazon<\/strong><\/p>

After creating an amazon seller central account, start listing your products in the catalog with apt images and descriptions to improve your conversion rates<\/a><\/span>. Make sure to structure your PPC Campaign the right way<\/span><\/a> to increase sales<\/a>.<\/p>

2. Choose where to store your inventory<\/a><\/strong><\/p>

When choosing your warehouse location, choose them strategically to avoid redundant shipping costs<\/a>. For a small business, you could rent a room or use your house for warehousing temporarily.<\/p>

3. Ship out orders on time<\/strong><\/p>

Once you receive the order, you must ship the item based on the chosen delivery date by the buyer. Amazon provides an estimated delivery time to customers on the product detail page<\/a> so that customers know when to expect the product they ordered. This includes handling and transit times.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

You can set your shipping, handling, and transit time to meet your customers\u2019 expectations. You must also provide order tracking for the customer<\/a>. Make sure to update your Amazon seller account with valid instructions for all your Fulfilled by Merchant orders. When you approve a customer\u2019s return request for a product, Amazon sends the customer a return label along with your default return address, which must be valid.<\/p>

How much does Amazon FBM cost?<\/strong><\/h3>

The fee structure of Amazon FBM includes three types of fees: Referral Fee, Monthly Subscription Fee, and Per Item Selling Fee.<\/p>
