I don't know but on the Amazon automated switch if you turn it on. When it says 2 day and one day delivery you might be paying for for only the services you selected to ship with so it cost you no extra. It says region on the two and one day shipping and shows you the states it ships to. My one day delivery only shows the state I live in. But again I don't know I'm going to call Amazon and find out. Good luck
I sent my first product as a test and used USPS and Amazon says the product is lost yet the person (my aunt) did receive it. This has been such a headache to figure out that I’m about to cancel my account.
Hi Nikki! Very informative video. I just wanted to ask the process in which we are to dropship the product and we've listed it as FBM. What's the process? Do I send the labels to the suppliers? And do they get picked up by the Amazon partnered couriers? And what if our suppliers offer free shipping, what steps do we need to go through. Thank you so much.
Hi Nikki! Great video. Very helpful. Have you seen "Invalid enumerated value '"acd6be68-04ae-4cfc-b016-89ea0a1220ac"' for attribute 'merchant_shipping_group'." when trying to change your shipping for an item?
Hi! Can I ask why you don't use Amazon Shipping? I'm new to Amazon selling and don't understand whether I should keep it enabled or not. Is it more costly, and where do I bring packages to ship out? If I do enable it, will it force me to use it instead of other carriers or still give me an option? Thx!
Hi Nikki, i am a new amazon reseller just opened my account yesterday! I want to do FBM. Where do you buy the postage to mail your packages? And how do you know what the postage costs?
Question so if I add a shipping charge to my standard shipping , does that mean I don’t have to add that cost to “fbm cost” what you would normally put for shipping .
Hello. I love all the videos and the helpful advice. I did have a question that I'm confused about, that I hope you can help me or someone. I just got approved today to start selling (FBM Indvidual). As far as the shipping templates, am I allowed to make my own template, or do I have to use what amazon picks for me as an Indvidual plan? Thank you and hope to hear from someone!
I don’t actually know! I have 2 that are like that and when I asked why (they are items I created listings for) they gave me some generic response that was not helpful
If you are FBM and your up against a FBA seller there are a few things you can do to try and get the Buy Box, make sure the price you are charging for shipping is less than or equal to the current Buy Box winner as well as your handling and delivery time are equal or better than what has the Buy Box.. Next, and this is the biggie.. in MOST cases you need to have all of that AND you need to be at least $4 cheaper than the current FBA seller or Amazon for that matter.. in most cases it's $4 but I have had some luck at $2.50 - $3.99 cheaper.. I generally will list a a new product and start at $4 less then monitor it.. If I win the buy box then I will slowly increase in 10 cent intervals and watch and check.. eventually you will creep up over and lose the Buy Box so then I lower it back down to the last price that won it and leave it.. I will then set my repricer to reprice it at that amount of difference between my price and the next highest seller to try to maintain the box as new sellers pop up or other sellers reprice to try and get it back..
also, if you have an item listed and you are the lowest price and Amazon keeps showing it as "no featured offers available" with a box to click that say's to "see offers click it" that means the price it's being sold for is not acceptable to Amazon to show a featured price.. meaning they are looking at what was or is the suggested retail price from the manufacturer (ridiculously no matter how old it is) and Amazon feels your over charging for it.. in some cases they won't even let you list an item that has no current sellers if your pricing it higher than what they think you should be selling it for.. this happens a lot with out of print movies, books, records, collectible etc etc.. in that case you want to sell it on Amazon you have to keep lowering the price until it reaches a point Amazon says is acceptable.. which is a joke and should be illegal because that's technically price fixing by Amazon, forcing sellers to either not list some rare items or sell them for what Amazon says is acceptable.. these items wind up getting bought by other resellers and flipped on other sites for sometimes double or triple what Amazon lets you sell it for.. pretty sure this is one of the things be investigated by the government in regards to Amazon's unfair practices towards Amazon Sellers that's going on...
Thank for amazing video. Im doing FBM now with a professional plan. Can i have a Prime badge on my listing? is that possible or only for FBA? Thank you
Hi Nikki, I hope u reply one me this time. I want to know what to do when we receive letter from Manufacturer (Compliance mail) asking to stop their product. Even though I am approved by Amazon
@@NikkiKirk OMg thanks for replying!! The thing is when I got an email from the manufacturer asking me to cease selling their product or they will have law suit against me, I asked Amazon what’s going on, they said you are authorized and ungated so you should be okay, still let us know we will see. It was for 4 pieces product of sponges 😂 So they should not have legal actions against me?
I don’t totally know, I know for me standard is the same as my free option but that doesn’t mean it won’t go priority or air, it depends on how fast it’s promised to the customer
I've had this burning question. When selling new products you've purchased from say a walmart, has it ever come up that you've needed an invoice to prove you purchased? For example, like when you become ungated in a new category. The other person commented getting a letter from whomever to stop selling, would'nt Amazon be assuming that seller purchased their items via a wholesale or something similar? Thanks!
The “letters” are not anything but spam and I treat them as such. They are other sellers hiring VAs and sending fake templates out to get people off the listing. As far as invoices Amazon themselves accepts receipts for proof of purchase. I very very rarely need to supply them.
Personally I only buy through Amazon because they offer protections. You can ship outside and just enter in tracking into Amazon tho. I do not do it that way
@NikkiKirk yes sorry upc codes . Ok, so if a product is already listed on Amazon, then we don't need upc, and if it's not on Amazon, then we need upc ?
The section u have checked is - PO BOX. not Street. What’s the meaning besides one obvi being someone resistance . Is it your address marked as PO Box ?
If it’s when that pop up comes up I stopped because I don’t use it. That’s the toggle I turn off because it forces you to offer two day and I don’t offer that on my shipping templates
Thank you Nikki it was actually the last part of the shipping where you can choose Fedex USPS OR UPS and it has soooooo many choices that I just randomly chose whatever I thought best but I was not sure…
Hi Nikki, I need help! I don’t know what reports I need to file taxes. I never got a 1099k for 2021 or 2022. I still haven’t filed for 2022 because I don’t know what reports I need and how to get them. What reports do I need for all other taxes besides sales tax. When I download reports the number don’t add up. Makes me think I’m downloading the wrong reports. Please help :( Amazon won’t help and gurus trying to make me pay for courses Amazon accounting specialists trying to charge me 1000-2800 just to pull the reports themselves
The store, the cost, BE for break even, then the break even price. You can also add a date you got it or exp date etc anything you want. So mine look like WM998BE1638
Hi Nikki! I’m also in Oklahoma how cool!!! I just started my Amazon store in October and been doing FBM this was so helpful! Thank you!
I don't even watch your videos first before hitting that like button jaja
Thank you Nikki!! I'll go FBM for some of my stuff!
This is such a helpful video- thank you!!
I'm going to try to do this. So far I've only done the migrated one. It does seem confusing in my brain, lol.
thanks for another amazing video!!!

How can you connect seller board to your Amazon account so it transfers the data
Does sellers board calculate the shipping fees for FBM automatically ? Thank you
Yes! It pulls it in from Amazon if you’re buying shipping from them

@@TeamBoxOps I buy shipping through Amazon. Are you referring to Amazon themselves as the carrier? If so I don’t have that option as I’m rural

Hello Nikk can you please make a video how to print a label when you shipping template because I still pay for label please help
Question so if I add a shipping charge to my standard shipping , does that mean I don’t have to add that cost to “fbm cost” what you would normally put for shipping .
If I put zero day shipping on my default settings, do I need to go to my individual listings and change them to zero day as well?
Nope it has it across all templates
OK I just signed up for sellerboard as well. Thanks.@@NikkiKirk

Hi Nikki! Is standard shipping the same as ground shipping? Is standard shipping actually faster than free economy shipping?
I don’t totally know, I know for me standard is the same as my free option but that doesn’t mean it won’t go priority or air, it depends on how fast it’s promised to the customer
On sellerboard in December how is it that Amazon fees are more in your Gross profit?

Is anyone of you using different shipping methods for FBM other than amazon buy shipping? Pls help.
No. You are not covered by Amz A-Z Claims if you use a 3rd party label service (shippo, pirateship, etc) outside of Amz.
Personally I only buy through Amazon because they offer protections. You can ship outside and just enter in tracking into Amazon tho. I do not do it that way
Do we need upc codes if we scan and list Costco products?
Need some information on that
Do you mean UPCs? If you’re trying to list new products then you do unless you get approved for the exemption
@NikkiKirk yes sorry upc codes . Ok, so if a product is already listed on Amazon, then we don't need upc, and if it's not on Amazon, then we need upc ?
@@Navidkhann1 correct
The section u have checked is - PO BOX. not Street. What’s the meaning besides one obvi being someone resistance . Is it your address marked as PO Box ?
They are just auto checked on my templates, it means you’ll send to a PO Box (which would be usps to ship)
When you got to the shipping services you kind of stopped. Do I check ALL of those or what? Thank you for your help Nikki!

How can i remove shipping fees from FBM. Its automatically putting 4.99 for everything. Thanks
Change the shipping template to 0.00, then save.
If you are talking about the shipping credit, she mentions this in the video
@@mstinamichele thank you
In the app you can’t remove that but on your templates you can yes
