I Don’t Want To Use Amazon FBA — What Are My Alternatives?

You don’t want to use Amazon FBA fulfillment by Amazon. What are your alternatives?

Well, this is simple. That’s Amazon FBM, which means Amazon fulfilled by merchant.

At JAG, we are an Amazon FBM shipper. And what that means is your orders come in on Amazon. They come in right into our system, but then we take the your Amazon orders and we ship them to you customers for you. There’s a couple of advantages of that.

The biggest advantage of that is that the storage fees that you’re going to have dealing with someone like us are going to be so much less than you’re dealing with Amazon. Amazon charges storage fees based on how busy the season is and how much items are selling. And if you got items that are selling very slowly, they may charge you $200 to $300 per pallet to store your uh your packages or store your items there. We’re going to charge just a tiny bit.

Many of our customers actually keep all their products stored here and they have us ship the Amazon FBA products to them. But again, Amazon FBM is an easy process because what we do is we can connect up our shipping system. We use ShipStation. We can connect it up right to your Amazon store. And then when your orders come in, we can actually take the items and ship them to Amazon for you.

So Amazon FBM is easy to use. It’s easy to set up.
