Connect Deliverr to Amazon FBM : How to

Steps to Connect Deliverr to your Amazon FBM Orders

Amazon is considered to be one of the top marketplaces in the world. It offers the sellers two different methods to fulfill their orders. They are Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM). When the sellers choose to ship the products they listed on Amazon to each buyer themselves, this is called Fulfillment by Merchant or FBM. FBM usually takes a longer time than FBA. Hence, you must connect your FBM orders with Deliverr that offers fast and affordable fulfilment.
