How To Fulfill & Ship Your First Amazon FBM Order | BEGINNER TUTORIAL

Here's how to fulfill & ship your first Amazon Fulfillment By Merchant (FBM) order in 2024. I cover how to fulfill your first order with both the desktop and mobile applications, as well as, how to properly package your product(s). Merchant fulfilled is the other way to sell on Amazon in comparison to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA).
Amazon FBM is a simpler method to sell your product(s) and allows you to take in more of the profits (no Amazon FBA fees). You will be responsible for handling the shipping and customer service for your Amazon store, but if you're shipping low quantities of products each month then it may make the most sense for your business.

ATTENTION! There is a mistake with the shipping costs and this should always be flagged. I continued with the tutorial for learning purposes. If your shipping is extremely high in comparison to your sales price, make sure to check your product weight and dimensions in your "edit listing" page in the "more details" tab.

[@kishanv3665]

Hi, do we have to provide tracking for this? because the shipping cost is too high, Thanks in advance and keep up the good work.

[@bwoof5357]

Wow thanks i was really worried about that when i seen the cost and knowing that was only for a cell phoned case lol

[@marciabelmontez960]

I was wondering the same thing, but also that you charged 2.99 shipping and it was added to your gross profit, I'm having a really really hard time figuring out how the shipping works ... I'll scour your playlists ... my brain hurts ... I know it's just a learning curve ... How much could it be to ship 10oz item 7" X 6" in a bubble envelope about the size .... I'm wondering ... I can't find the answer to that anywhere ... ❤️🙏🤲🕊️🥰

[@_223Demon]

If you don’t mind me asking, how much was the actual shipping cost for just that case?

[@akumabison4700]

Hey Debt to Dollars! Thank you so much for all your videos man. We wanted to get some help in regarding getting ungated. We are super new to Amazon FBA but are getting discouraged as everything that we try to sell is gated and the items we but are not invoiced and are inly receipts. We just wanted to see if there is a way to contact you on some advice and learning opportunity if you could guide us.

[@1USAUSA]

You truly are God-sent, my friend. I was so confused and didn't know where to start or make any sense of my FBA account. I added my inventory or products into my FBA account following your video step by step today. Then, followed by what I have to do to ship it out to my customers. I can't believe it was that easy. Thank you very much. :)

[@DebtToDollars]

Awesome, best of luck! You’re going to kill it 👍🏻

[@jkross75]

This is exactly what I needed - straight to the point - with step-by-step. I feel better from here on out. Thank you!

[@vance836]

You may have been able to get the shipping costs down had you used a padded envelope instead of a box for such a small case. The reason your shipping cost didnt change when rounding up the weight is because you were already using dimensional weight. For the shipping cost to change when adjusting the weight; you probably would have had to change the weight to more like 5 pounds as opposed to 5 ounces. The flaw here is that you charged 99 cents for shipping, when they paid $2.99, and then got charged over $7.00. I know this is just a tutorial but just wanted to point that out.

These methods are really helpful in understanding how Amazon FBA works, however I came into problems with how to manage PPC or gain reviews, as well as how to target the precise keywords that would push my products to the top of the search results. Later, a friend recommended panda-boom, which really benefited me in making 15-20 sales every day on average.

Hi mate Very useful video. Just one question, regarding the carrier, once you agree to use say UPS for example for shipping, how do you go about getting your product to UPS once you bought the shipping? In UK Royal Mail is the go to choice but in case I used someone else Thanks

Hello, When being a merchant, if you ship using UPS, do you add static shipping costs with ASC or does the price reflect the current UPS rates you select? Just need to know if I need to estimate or if it does it for you!

Hi, Thank you for your tutorial! I am a new seller and have just found my first product to sell on Amazon. Now I am trying to find out what the actual cost to ship my using FBM buy shipping is before I have my supplier ship my items over. I looked everywhere on the seller central website, and couldn't find a way to calculate shipping cost. My item weighs 10 oz dimension is 10x7x2''. Does FBM buy shipping include USPS First Class mail? According to the USPS website, the commercial plus price for this item is less than $5 even to the farthest zone, but I am confused why your FBM buy shipping is only showing you UPS shipping. Looks like the shipping cost is even higher than your product!

[@HokushoSociety]

Hey I want to ship through my post office so do I still have to buy shipping or can I just take the info from the order and go to USPS and have them print the label and ship for me?

[@martialartness]

Question: Does the carrier collect the product to be shipped from your local address or do you have to drop it off at an access point?

[@Sanddwears]

Thank you for this , when you buy shipping does Amazon charge the customer for the shipping fee the Amazon carrier charges ?

When shipping your items does the packaging have to be the average plain brown or white mailer or can we use colored or pattern envelopes like pink etc

[@juliop7991]

Hi. Does someone know if I can see a list of orders that are in transit and delivered instead of clicking on each order and going into tracking info. I love how eBay does this and shows DELIVERED and IN TRANSIT. I wished in Amazon where its a green button that says SHIPPED actually changed to TRANSIT when item is scanned at carrier and then DELIVERED when its delivered. Or am I missing something

After dealing with all of these challenges and conducting extensive research, I discovered Panda-Boom, which assisted me in resolving all of them while also assisting me in maintaining my PPC

[@bobbonsante5902]

I noticed that Amazon has taken out the padded flat rate envelope on their priority shipping choices for FBM. Is their any way around this, because shipping priority on 1 lb & over is about 2-3 dollars more which kills profit. ( I am shipping 2 bottles of supplements). thanks

[@troyanstett7832]

Can you as a seller deliver products if the customer is close? If so how do you get a tracking number? And how do you confirm with the buyer that their shipment has arrived?

[@zanderhuynh7998]

I notice Amazon shipping calculator give us different cost for shipping . When I check the product package weight is different than what is listed. When I try to do at home the cost is higher. Will Amazon honor the cost the was giving by their calculators or they will change base on the actual product? Or Is that benefit for doing FBA?

[@amlet.1]

Thanks. Great vid. But I notice that even for FBM, amazon charges "other fees". A book is charged for referral fees and other fees. That's just ridiculous, some estimated net show negative balance per item. I'm new to this. Any help please.

Thanks for the video Josh! I just verified my sellers account today, but I was wondering how do we find the actual price for shipping? I know it depends on the weight and dimensions, but do we go in to ups store to ask for a quote to properly input the shipping price on amazon? Thanks so much

[@DebtToDollars]

Thanks! It'll vary depending on where the customer is located, unless you're using a fixed rate shipping method like USPS flat rate boxes. If you want to use UPS, go to their website and create a shipment for your product to go to the other end of the United States (or your country). See what that costs and use that for your shipping charge.

[@tracinglights]

when buyin shipping lable through amazon, how do you change it to packaging bag if your not shipping a box?

[@pyrrhic329]

hey... quick question. . the case you sold was 7 dollars, you paid a 1.30 referred fee and 7.63 in shipping . Where is the profit

[@ennafatisanaa6755]

The 7.63 shipping fees that the customer should pay plus the product price

[@soda8010]

So let’s say I bought an item $8. I sell it for $15. The customer pay the $15 plus shipping

[@theworldaccordingtonevaeh887]

So your profit would be. $7.00. - Amazon fees and whatever was left over after shipping cost after shipping😊
