What is FBM?
FBM stands for Fulfilment by Merchant.
- FBM — Fulfilment by Merchant
- FBM (Fulfilment by Merchant) means you store, pack and ship orders yourself instead of using Amazon’s warehouses. You avoid FBA storage and fulfilment fees but handle logistics and returns, and you don’t automatically get Prime unless you qualify for Seller-Fulfilled Prime.
In depth
FBM gives you control of logistics and avoids FBA fees, which can suit bulky, slow-moving or high-margin products. The trade-offs are no automatic Prime badge, harder Buy Box competition against FBA sellers, and you carrying shipping and returns. Many sellers mix FBA and FBM across their catalogue.
