Fulfilment For Startups

How FBA Fulfilment Works

1

Connection: We connect your Amazon Vendor/Seller Central account using our state-of-the-art inventory management software

2

Order Processing: Orders are received directly, and we manage the entire fulfilment process

3

Rapid Fulfilment: We pick, pack, and ship your orders within 24 hours

4

Inventory Updates: Our system updates your inventory levels, providing real-time visibility

The Benefits

High Flexibility: Adaptable services to suit your business needs.

Custom Packaging: Bespoke packaging solutions that highlight your brand.

Affordable FBA Management

It's a common misconception that using a holding, prepping, and distribution FBA service is expensive. In reality, our services are more cost-effective and flexible compared to having Amazon handle everything. We receive your stock, hold it, prep it as needed, and send it to Amazon when requested. Additionally, we are fully equipped to manage any returns.

Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM) Fulfilment

FBM Fulfilment allows sellers to list their products on Amazon while managing storage, shipping, and customer support independently. This option is suitable for sellers who wish to maintain more control over their operations and often partner with third-party logistics providers (3PLs) like Complete Packaging for support.

How is FBM Fulfilment Different from FBA Fulfilment?

1

Policy Flexibility: FBM sellers are not as strictly penalised for non-compliance with Amazon’s policies compared to FBA sellers

2

Cost Control: Avoid unexpected costs and maintain control over pricing with FBM

3

3PL Partnership: Partnering with a 3PL like Complete Packaging alleviates the daily fulfilment tasks and increases accountability

4

Accuracy and Reliability: Complete Packaging ensures a 99.9% pick accuracy rate, providing peace of mind that your FBM orders are handled accurately

How FBM Fulfilment Works

1

Connect Your Account: Connect your Amazon Seller/Vendor Central account to our Inventory Management System in minutes

2

Send Us Your Products: We receive and check in your products, storing them securely until dispatch. Manage your inbound deliveries and check stock levels via your dashboard.

3

Same-Day Fulfilment: As soon as an order is placed, it comes through to us, allowing us to pick and pack orders promptly. Our system selects the best courier and tariff for each parcel.

How FBM fulfilment works

Greater Control: Manage your products and brand without Amazon's constraints

Multi-Channel Strategy: Implement a cohesive sales approach across various platforms

Custom Packaging: Enhance brand recognition with bespoke packaging solutions

Avoid Policy Changes: Stay unaffected by frequent Amazon policy updates

Fast Turnaround: Rapid order processing ensures greater margins and efficiency
