Amazon FBM fulfillment that protects your seller metrics
Merchant Fulfilled means Amazon holds you to its clock: ship on time, confirm with valid tracking, keep the late-shipment rate under 4 percent. We run FBM orders from Miami the same business day, confirm shipment in Seller Central automatically, and give you the control FBA takes away.
FBM without the risk to your account health
FBM is the right call when your product is oversized, seasonal, slow-turning, or when you want inventory in one place for Amazon, Shopify and Walmart at once. The cost of getting it wrong is not a fee, it is a suspended listing. Our FBM process is built around the three numbers Amazon watches: late shipment rate, valid tracking rate and cancellation rate.
- Ship-by dates respected: FBM orders are sorted by Amazon's ship-by date and picked before anything else in the queue.
- Shipment confirmation with tracking posted to Seller Central automatically when the label prints, which keeps the valid tracking rate at 100 percent.
- Same-day for orders before 3:00 PM Eastern; next business day for the rest, inside a one-day handling time setting.
- No FBA storage fees, no aged-inventory surcharge: 30 days of storage per received box on every plan, $35 per additional pallet per month.
- Same stock for FBA prep: when a listing switches to FBA, we prep from the same shelf, at published prep rates.
- Returns to Miami: a return address Amazon accepts, inspected and restocked or set aside under your rules.

Published rates, compared with what FBA charges
FBM pays off when storage and handling are cheaper than FBA fees for your product. Here is our side of the math.
| Plan (Miami address, receiving, 30 days storage per box, dashboard) | from $89 / month |
| Pick, pack and standard mailer, up to 2 lb and 2 items | $1.95 / order |
| Additional item in the same order | $0.35 |
| Heavy order handling, over 2 lb | +$0.50 / order |
| Fragile prep (bubble) | $1.20 to $1.75 / unit |
| Additional pallet storage | $35 / pallet / month |
| Returns processing | from $4 / return |
| Carrier shipping | carrier rates, per shipment |
Compare that with FBA storage billed per cubic foot per month, aged-inventory surcharges and removal fees. Our guide FBA vs 3PL vs both walks through when each wins, and the planner prices your volume.
Control, without babysitting the account
Oversized and slow movers
Products FBA charges a fortune to store sit on a pallet here for $35 a month.
One stock, three channels
Amazon, Shopify and Walmart orders picked from the same inventory record, so nothing oversells.
Hybrid when it makes sense
Keep your fast movers in FBA, run the long tail FBM from Miami, prep FBA replenishments from the same shelf.
Most FBM problems are not warehouse problems, they are setting problems: a handling time of zero days with a warehouse that ships at 5 PM, or a carrier that does not scan on pickup. We set handling time with you at onboarding and we confirm shipment the moment the label prints.
Questions Amazon sellers ask about FBM
Orders before 3:00 PM Eastern ship the same business day and the rest the next, which fits a one-day handling time. Shipment confirmation with tracking posts automatically. Sellers who set a zero-day handling time should talk to us first; we will tell you honestly whether it fits your order pattern.
Yes, from the same inventory. We ship FBM orders daily and prep FBA replenishment shipments at published prep rates when you want to send stock in. Many sellers keep fast movers in FBA and the long tail FBM.
SFP has its own delivery-speed requirements that depend on your product and destinations. Tell us what you sell and where your orders concentrate and we will tell you whether the carrier services from Miami can meet them before you enroll.
Amazon requires a U.S. return address. Your Marcana suite is it. We inspect and photograph each return, restock sellable units and set the rest aside under your rules, from $4 per return.
Yes, through the carriers' international services when your listing allows it. Duties and customs paperwork are the buyer's or your responsibility depending on the service; we will flag what applies.
