How to change Amazon FBA model to FBM? How to do it well?

Merchants who open stores on Amazon will first choose a good business model for opening a store. In addition, the store's logistics model is also very important, which will affect the logistics and delivery speed of your store. Some merchants use the Amazon FBA model, so how to change this model to the FBM model?

How to change Amazon FBA model to FBM?

1. Continuously provide effective logistics tracking information

Amazon consumers need a logistics tracking code to obtain the logistics status of the order and estimate the delivery date or time of the goods. It is understood that sellers must provide consumers with valid logistics tracking information when delivering MFN orders.

2. Manage delivery time

Amazon will display the delivery time of the product on the product details page and checkout page so that consumers can estimate when the product will be delivered. The so-called delivery time is from the moment the consumer completes the order until the product is delivered to the consumer, which includes the order processing time and transportation time.

Of course, sellers can go to the Amazon "Help" page to manually modify the order processing time and shipping time.

3. Set and modify the default return policy

Set up an effective return policy for all MFN orders and update your Amazon account. Sellers can get more information on the "Manage returns" help page.

4. Confirm that the return address is valid

It is learned that if the seller agrees to the buyer's return application, the Amazon system will automatically send the buyer a return label with a return address on it. To ensure a smooth return, the seller must provide a valid return address.

5. Comply with Amazon’s dropshipping policy

The so-called drop shipping means that the seller authorizes a third party to ship, transport orders, and deliver the goods. When the seller chooses drop shipping, they need to follow Amazon's drop shipping policy.

First, the seller’s identity can be reflected on all product packaging (inner and outer packaging), invoices, and other product-related information, and information related to third-party shippers can be removed.

Second, sellers are responsible for receiving and processing product returns.

6. Use Amazon Buy Shipping to ship orders

After participating in Amazon's Buy Shipping program, sellers can purchase shipping labels individually or in bulk, then ship, confirm orders, and track logistics information. The benefit of Buy Shipping is that sellers use a network of trusted logistics service providers.

The difference between the FBA model and the FBM model on Amazon is still very obvious. The former enjoys the integrated logistics service of the Amazon platform, while the latter is what is often called the self-delivery model, that is, the merchant delivers the goods to the seller himself, which may be cheaper.
