This was such a great video. Thank you for breaking down all the steps and showing us exactly what you do. This is the first of a hundred videos that offered detailed insight on each step to take. I recently listed my first item and received my first sale. I have now completed my first shipping because I found your video. Awesome feeling!!!

[@kellyallbritton3207]

The BOLO group and Nikki have been my lifeline in both FBA and now FBM since starting to sell on Amazon in August! Thanks for the video Nikki!

Just sold my first thing on Amazon and was confused about shipping thanks for making these videos they help so much and make my life way easier I’m stoked to grow my business

[@MoverandShaker]

what was the item?

@@MoverandShaker personal wipes bought at walmart on clearance

[@MoverandShaker]

@@TLosiRacing the first two items I sold were the same item the Holiday Barbie 2020 I paid $4 each and I think I sold them for 22 plus shipping. Then right after that I sold two Barbie deluxe pet dream houses i paid $2 each sold for $28 but... my first four items did not sell on Amazon they sold on eBay and mercari because I had listed them on multiple places at once and when one sold I just deleted from the other place

[@glizzygoblin69]

I just noticed you uploaded this video on my birthday lol! I was recommended by someone to watch your videos because they said you give great advice (: Thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[@NikkiKirk]

Haha! Thank you!!

[@Hotchelle]

Can you show how you put in the cost of shipping in the price and use that money on your end for the shipping costs? Thanks! :)

[@changeofseason8550]

so interesting to see your FBM method! love it! I am all FBM, I have not tried FBA yet! My Goal... to simply try it! def have gotten burned on the one template when I started and learned my lesson lol

[@NikkiKirk]

Nice!! It’s so funny how we think things are hard until we do them. If I had a stationary house or office I would probably do a lot more FBM now that I understand it!

Nikki thanks so much for this video! I've been selling for a month with a mix of both FBA and FBM. I had no idea that I'd be able to sell toys in Q4 until I saw this video! I've already met all the requirements😁 Thanks again for this video and for all your others!

Does the design of the poly mailer matter? I want to get some with designs but am unsure if we can with fbm

[@faisalkhatri9131]

I watched several videos on FBM related, but still I did not find what I want to know. How can we set shipping rates to different regions of USA prior to selling? What is the process of setting up the shipping rates? Please can you guide me in this regard? Thanks

[@DonandAngie229]

First time watching one of your videos. Thanks lots of good info. FYI.. If you use pirate ship to ship Flat rate stuff it's a few cents off.

[@saramanrique7208]

Do you have to print barcodes for items that DO already have UPCs on them? I’ve read that you don’t, but I’ve received books with the barcode on them so I’m not sure.

[@ghulamhaider913]

Dear Nikki, you always upload great videos. My problem is that if I want to list a product ( eg Power crunch ) Amazon says to apply to sell and then asks for an Invoice. You said in Video that you can buy it from Walmart then what about the invoice. Please guide.

[@Mrahim975]

I was watching your video and I had question that can you only sell limited products or you can sell as many as you want? Thanks!❤

Silly question from someone is starting the research process. If you don’t have money in your reserves for shipping. Where does the money come from? Your bank card linked to your account? Thanks!

[@NikkiKirk]

Not a silly question! Yes they charge it to the credit card on file

Do you include your shpping of item into the price of item

[@chicnailboutique]

Hi I have to say thank you for this video , because this exactly what I looking for

[@caroline-story]

Thank you Nikki

[@LLAsh04]

Is this just for professional sellers who aren’t charging shipping? Because I’m individual for now but I receive the shipping credit when I sell FBM.

[@creekmaster3125]

Do you have to send a receipt to Amazon when you FBM? I bought a pallet of Target shelf pulls at a liquidation warehouse and don't have a receipt other than what the cost of the pallet was as a whole. I have TONS of new clothing.

[@thedeathinstinct649]

No, however they can come at you asking for the “invoice” which in most cases mean a receipt with all the itemized products. I recently had to provide them with this information.

[@saadatali959]

For you, it's better to do FBA. In case of FBA, they usually don't ask unless something goes wrong

[@millynn6971]

You are awesome in every way!!

[@chardy7071]

What if I didn't buy shipping labels from amazon? What should I do?

[@bn8579]

Hi Nikki! I have a question if I'm doin FBM do I have to print the barcode to stick it to the items before shipping? Or no barcode is needed? Like for FBA thank you..

[@LiveStockMarketOptions]

I would like to know this too?

[@leemcmullan]

you are so helpful and so sweet

[@amariedavidson1]

Like your video. What if the weight of product is over 1lb?

[@NikkiKirk]

It will just cost more to ship so I wouldn’t list it until you get it home to weight and estimate the fee to ship it across country

[@abdullahn9827]

@@NikkiKirk do you know how to estimate the fee??

[@sjkerluke]

Hey Nikki, another great video. Question and note for you...when I upload/list from the app, it does not actually add the tax code to the products. So you then manually have to enter it after on the desktop...can you please confirm if that's the case for you, or if you know another way that it does automatically default on the app.

[@NikkiKirk]

It doesn't look like it is for me, I haven't updated that either. Hmm...

Hi Nikki! How do you handle the returns for FBM while traveling?

Theresa Marie that’s so funny I actually cut that part out of the video because it doesn’t really relate to a lot of people. I use my PO Box as the address so sometimes I have to pay extra when it thinks I’m further away than I actually am but it’s not been an issue yet

Hi Nikki, If I understood right, I’m a new beginner haven’t sold anything yet. I got a few products to sell however Q4 is here so, I cannot sell any toys come December? BTW love all your video, they have helps me a lot.

Hi Erica, Thanks for your note! Glad they are helpful. Nope that's not correct. You can sell toys but you may not be able to sell the FBM. Only FBA.

You can sell anything, the heavier it is the more it’ll cost to ship. I’m not completely sure what part you mean. If you clarify I can help better answer

[@ryanbattistoni9775]

@@NikkiKirk right @ 2:55 you start explaining why you cant sell anything over a pound when selling Fulfill by Merchant. I think after watching the whole video, it is clear to me that the shipping costs make heavier items more difficult to calculate shipping costs. Thank you ao much!!! I bought a heavy item from lowes that after watching this video, i think i will re evaluate my strategy.

[@henryflores7492]

Hi thanks for the great content! Question: on the example you listed, it shows as lowest being 8.33 but you repriced it to 13.99. How did you get to 13.99 from the suggested 8.33 it pops up with?

[@NikkiKirk]

HI Henry, I think you are probably talking about the Amazon app screen where they repirce it to show their credit but I don't get the credit so I repriced it to see the fees on 13.99

[@win2win999]

Nikki so when I get ungated thru ur guide as a example I buy qty of 12 of a grocery item I take pics n I send the in voice for Amazon as a new seller does that just ungate me in that brand or the grocery catogory too so I can explore other grocery items without have a invoice on all the products I buy n send in ?

[@NikkiKirk]

wick city Hey! The guides walk you through how to check all this to make sure you buy something that will ungate you but yes, if you get ungated in grocery with one item in an invoice you can now sell all grocery without an invoice.

I have seen some of your videos and have found them very informative. However, the advice in this video is simply bad. I cannot believe an experienced Amazon seller is advising people to return bad buys to the store. That's a good way for stores to stop being reseller friendly. I understand that you may not have had much experience with fbm at the time of this video but I would expect a content creator to do a bit more research on the subject before advising others.
