What's the difference FBA from FBM?

FBA is a dedicated program to provide Amazon warehouse space and services to third-party marketplace sellers.

The sequence of the service:

  • You ship your goods to the US to one of the Amazon warehouses;
  • Amazon accepts your goods and distributes them to warehouses throughout the country, for the convenience of internal logistics and ensuring high delivery speed;
  • Buyers order your products, along with products from Amazon and other sellers;
  • Amazon FBA accepts and processes orders;
  • At Amazon FBA warehouses, goods are assembled and packed, and then delivered to the customer's home;
  • Amazon provides almost all work with the order, including its return to the warehouse, if for some reason it did not suit the buyer;
  • Every two weeks the marketplace transfers profit from sales to your account.

Amazon FBA assumes:

  • order processing
  • packaging
  • delivery
  • returns service.

The main feature of FBA is that a buyer on Amazon does not even think about whose product he is purchasing: the marketplace itself or a third-party seller. In both cases, he receives the same service: speed of service, delivery and guarantees.
