Pre FBA Service for Amazon® Centres

For online retailers, Amazon is one of the most important and largest sales platforms on the internet. Many buyers search for the product they want first on Amazon.

You can register with Amazon Seller Central and sell your products online. Here you will find an overview of the first steps to selling on Amazon ➚.

Amazon offers its own fulfilment service with warehousing, which sellers can use. However, external 3 PL logistics service providers are increasingly being used as third-party providers and their pre FBA service.

If an Amazon seller uses the pre FBA service of a third-party provider, all the goods are stored in an external warehouse and only partial quantities are sent to the respective Amazon warehouse as required. The benefit to the merchant is often lower storage costs and fulfilment fees, as well as a better stock index (LBI) with Amazon.

At Subke Amazon Seller, we offer a pre FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) service with receiving and container unloading. We ship from our fulfilment centre directly to the Amazon warehouse as required.

We offer the Vendor Programme, shipping to end customers via FBM (Fulfillment by Merchant) and Prime shipping by arrangement.

If you use Amazon’s PAN-EU programme, we can offer warehouses in various EU countries for your returns. We collect your products there and then bring them back to Germany at a reasonable price.

Pre FBA

What is pre FBA?

As a commercial online retailer, you can choose between FBA or the FBM programme on Amazon.

With the FBA programme, you send your goods directly to Amazon. Amazon stores, packs and ships the goods for you. Of course, Amazon also charges monthly fees for fulfilment.

Combine FBA with Subke Fulfillment

Use our Pre FBA service and store the majority of your goods with us and benefit from lower storage fees. We will then professionally send the desired quantity to Amazon as required.

PAN EU bei Amazon

PAN-EU

What is PAN-EU?

As an FBA seller, you can expand your sales throughout Europe with Amazon’s PAN-EU programme. The programme costs nothing extra and promises an enormous increase in sales. All you have to do is activate PAN-EU in your Seller Central account.

Info: If the PAN EU programme is too much of a hassle for you, you can use an external service provider like Spacegoats. Spacegoats takes over many tasks such as invoicing, VAT registration, tax processing and requirements that have to be fulfilled with the PAN-EU programme.

What are Amazon Remissionen?

If you participate in the PAN EU programme, your goods will be optimally distributed to Amazon’s warehouses in the respective countries.

If your goods are not sold or you receive returns, you must have the goods collected in the country.

We offer warehouses in many EU countries through our partner network of EZI Returns. Your goods can be stored there and transported back to Germany.

Info: If you sell across Europe or worldwide, you will need to collect unsold goods from the Amazon warehouse in your country or have them shipped back to your home country at a very high cost. Use our EZI Returns partner network to manage your returns at Amazon costs.

FBM by Amazon

FBM

What is FBM?

Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM) means fulfilment by merchants. If you opt for the FBM programme as a commercial online merchant, you sell your products on Amazon Marketplace but take over the storage, picking and shipping according to Amazon’s requirements.

As a start-up at Amazon, you will first begin with the FBM programme.

FBA requires approval because Amazon first wants to see how many products you sell per month.

You can take care of the fulfilment yourself or hand it over to a fulfilment service provider like us.

We receive the orders from Amazon directly via our fulfilment software and take over the entire fulfilment for you according to Amazon’s requirements.

Info: Unlike FBA, FBM requires you to send your own T&Cs and cancellation policy to the end customer. You can enclose this with the shipment after the order or send it by e-mail in Seller Central.

Info: You can also combine FBA and FBM. You can sell part of your goods via FBA and another part via FBM. Products that sell quickly and have a high margin are well suited for FBA. On the other hand, products that are fragile or have to be picked with several parts are well suited for FBM.

Vendor Central bei Amazon

Vendor Central

What is the Vendor Programm?

With the Vendor Programme, you become a supplier to Amazon. Amazon sells your products under its brand.

Are you a “first-party” seller on Amazon and do you participate in the Vendor Programme? Then we can take over the complete storage, goods preparation and delivery to Amazon for you.

As an Amazon supplier, you will be delivering large quantities. We can be a solution as a temporary warehouse or take over partial quantities of the delivery.

We already take over the delivery to the vendor programme for existing customers. You benefit from our experience and the good infrastructure of our warehouses.

Our warehouses are located just outside Hamburg. This means that your containers are handled quickly and you don’t lose another day.

What benefits do I get with an FBA warehouse?
