Can Amazon FBM be replaced with FBA later? The answer is yes. FBA is Amazon’s official logistics and distribution, which provides unified management/warehousing/distribution of seller inventory. FBA shipping listings will be tilted by Amazon traffic, and many on-site activities can only be reported if FBA inventory is available. Therefore, FBM to FBA not only has no effect on the weight, it will also increase the weight of the listing.
The first point is that the logistics method is different. FBA first sends the goods to Amazon’s foreign warehouses in the early stage, and after the order is issued, it will be shipped by Amazon’s official distribution. Then FBM does not need to stock up in the early stage, but after the store has issued the order, the domestic express delivery will be transferred to the international express delivery to the buyer.
The second point is that the method of obtaining traffic is different. The main method of FBA obtaining traffic is to attract traffic from on-site and off-site advertising. It is not enough to rely on the traffic provided by the Amazon platform for less store products. FBM’s traffic acquisition method mainly comes from the traffic given by the Amazon platform. The third point is that the customer unit price is different, because the logistics cost and operating cost of the two models are different, so the customer unit price is also different.
The fourth point is that the logistics timeliness is different. After the store issues the order, the FBA delivery cycle is three days, and the buyer can receive the goods. The time from FBM shipment to buyer’s receipt is one month.
The fifth point is that the payment time is different. The current Amazon platform rule is that the payment will not be sent to your Amazon seller account until the goods are received, and the delivery time will also determine your payment time.
