FBA is an excellent way to earn the Prime badge and manage your customer fulfilment in one fell swoop if you don&#8217;t have any orders coming in from other channels.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sellers who already have a shipping business and want to use FBA should:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Want to get your product to as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time; or<\/li><li>Are not able to meet the SFP criteria.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FBA&#8217;s Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) capability is available to organisations that sell through other channels but lack a comprehensive shipping operation. With MCF, Amazon functions as a broad 3PL, able to fulfil orders from any source.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting that MCF has higher fees than &#8220;regular&#8221; FBA, and if you have a lot of orders coming in from places other than Amazon, it can be cheaper to utilise a separate 3PL.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP)<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Amazon Prime is now available to vendors that fulfil their own orders (FBMs), there is currently a waiting list. However, just because you&#8217;re waiting to be accepted into the programme doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t get your affairs in order.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from making sure you have enough goods on hand to fulfil Prime orders swiftly, now is a good time to look into Amazon&#8217;s approved delivery partners to see which one is best for you and your company.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll be better positioned to meet SFP&#8217;s requirements once you&#8217;ve been transferred from the Seller-Fulfilled-Prime waiting list to the required trial period.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To successfully finish the SFP trial period, you must:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Provide your consumers with premium delivery alternatives.<\/li><li>Have an order cancellation rate of less than 0.5% and ship over 99% of your orders on time.<\/li><li>For at least 99% of your orders, use Amazon&#8217;s Buy Shipping Services.<\/li><li>Demonstrate that you can handle orders in a &#8220;zero-day&#8221; manner.<\/li><li>Allow Amazon to take care of <a  data-ilj-link-preview=\"true\"  data-featured-image=\"https:\/\/www.aihello.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/download-9.jpg\"  data-excerpt=\"E-commerce success isn&#039;t just pre-sale.

Applications are sometimes placed on a waiting list.<\/li><li>If sellers qualify for SFP but then fall short of the requirements, they will have to go through the hassle of transferring to FBA if they want to keep their Prime status.<\/li><\/ol><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">who is SFP ideal for?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SFP is great for companies that already ship their own products through other channels, such as their own website, other online marketplaces, in-store sales, or phone purchases. It enables businesses to preserve their present systems, capitalise on previous investment and fixed expenses, and avoid the complexities of handling inventories in another location.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sellers who already have a warehouse with workers who can fulfil orders according to Amazon&#8217;s specifications would prefer to use SFP instead of FBA, thus it&#8217;s a good fit.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SFP is particularly well-suited to certain types of products. These include large and heavy things, as well as items that FBA prohibits or restricts, such as products that contain fragile or hazardous ingredients, or that require special handling.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vendor Central<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vendor Central is a completely different animal. Amazon recruiters persuade businesses to join the platform, and then they buy in quantity and at wholesale pricing from you. Your products will be sold on Amazon&#8217;s website, and Amazon will manage all of the logistics, such as storage, shipping, customer service, and returns.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your products will all carry the Prime label because they are sold through Amazon.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pros:<\/strong><\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vendor Central is straightforward. All you have to do now is process and bill Amazon&#8217;s purchase orders, just like you would if you were selling wholesale to any merchant.<\/li><li>All business-to-consumer sales are handled through Amazon.
