Start FBM Fulfillment Compare FBA vs FBM

Amazon SPN Certified Partner

CanadiEx is an officially vetted member of Amazon's Service Provider Network (SPN) — Amazon's curated directory of trusted third-party partners. For FBM sellers, this means your orders are fulfilled by a partner Amazon itself recognizes, reducing account risk and compliance flags.

FBA vs FBM: Which Is Right for You?

Neither model is universally better — the right choice depends on your margins, product type, and brand goals. Here's an honest comparison.

Dimension	Amazon FBA	FBM with CanadiEx
Fulfillment Fees	Amazon charges per-unit pick/pack + weight-based fees	You control fulfillment costs — competitive 3PL rates
Inventory Control	Amazon controls commingling, returns, and disposal	Full control over your inventory at every stage
Prime Badge	Automatic Prime eligibility	Prime eligible via Seller Fulfilled Prime (with qualifying metrics)
Packaging & Branding	Amazon branded boxes; limited custom packaging	Your branded packaging, inserts, and unboxing experience
Returns	Amazon processes returns; limited visibility	Returns come back to your 3PL; full inspection and disposition control

Why Successful Sellers Choose FBM

FBM is not a fallback — for many product categories and business models, it's the smarter long-term choice.

Brand Control

FBM lets you ship in custom branded packaging with inserts, thank-you cards, and the unboxing experience your customers expect. Amazon FBA ships in Amazon boxes.

Margin Protection

Amazon FBA fees have increased year over year. FBM with a competitive 3PL like CanadiEx can significantly reduce per-order fulfillment cost, especially for large or heavy items.

Inventory Safety

Your inventory never enters Amazon's commingling pool. No risk of receiving another seller's units as returns, no surprise disposal fees, no stranded inventory issues.

Returns Visibility

Every return comes back to our warehouse where it's inspected, graded, and dispositioned per your rules. You see exactly what came back and why.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

What is Amazon FBM and how is it different from FBA?+

FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) means you — or your 3PL like CanadiEx — handle storage and shipping, rather than sending inventory to Amazon warehouses (FBA). FBM gives you more control over inventory and avoids FBA storage fees, while still selling on Amazon.ca.

Can CanadiEx qualify for Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP)?+

Yes. CanadiEx's same-day fulfillment and carrier performance metrics are designed to meet Amazon's SFP requirements, including on-time shipping rates and valid tracking rates. We help eligible sellers unlock the Prime badge without FBA.

How does CanadiEx integrate with Amazon Seller Central for FBM?+

CanadiEx integrates directly with Amazon Seller Central via API. When an order is placed on Amazon, it is automatically routed to our WMS, picked, packed, and shipped same-day with tracking uploaded back to Seller Central automatically.

What shipping carriers does CanadiEx use for Amazon FBM orders?+

We ship FBM orders via Canada Post, Purolator, UPS, FedEx, and DHL — selecting the best carrier per shipment based on delivery speed, cost, and Amazon's performance thresholds. Our volume rates are significantly below what individual sellers can negotiate.

Is Amazon FBM or FBA better for Canadian sellers?+

It depends on your product type, volume, and margins. FBA is ideal for high-velocity products where Prime visibility drives sales. FBM is better for oversized items, custom products, or sellers wanting more inventory control. Many brands use both — FBA for top SKUs and FBM as a backup.
