Ask one merchant how they feel about Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) and you'll be told nothing but how fantastic it is. Go and ask someone else, and you'll hear more negative opinions of what FBA is. While we here at RepricerExpress tend to be in favour of FBA, we know it's a highly individual decision and decided to put the information in black and white so you can decide for yourself.

A Rundown of FBA in 100 Words or Less
You pay a little fee each month and in return, Amazon takes care of packing and shipping your orders. You send your inventory to Amazon so that every time you get a sale, they send pickers through their warehouse to select the product and send it to its new owner. If anything goes wrong with the order or delivery, Amazon takes care of things. They also offer help in the way of 24/7 customer support in the languages of the marketplaces it sells in and provide tracking information.

Having said all that, let's now take a look at what the advantages and disadvantages of FBA are.

Advantages of FBA
Frees Up Time: You can't put a price tag on having time to grow your business and focus on strengthening it.

Storage Space: It's entirely taken care of, and you don't have to worry about stepping over boxes to reach your bed or kitchen.

Reputation: Amazon's got a solid name and buyers trust it. When you back up your line with Amazon, you increase your chances of landing a sale.

Shipping Protocols: Don't want to hassle yourself with complicated customs regulations and shipping practices? You don't even have to make it a whisper of a thought.
