Oblimi: Reliable, Transparent, and Fast Fulfillment from China
What is FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant)?
FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) is a fulfillment method where sellers list their products on Amazon but handle storage, packing, and shipping through their own facilities or trusted third-party warehouses, instead of relying on Amazon’s fulfillment centers.
With FBM, businesses maintain full control over inventory management, packaging, and shipping processes while still gaining access to Amazon’s massive customer base. This model is especially valuable for sellers who want more flexibility, better cost management, and direct oversight of their operations.
Why FBM Offers More Flexibility than FBA
FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) gives sellers more freedom and control compared to FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon). Here’s why many businesses choose FBM:
- Oblimi FBM services come with lower fees than FBA, helping sellers reduce upfront costs and start selling on Amazon more easily.
- Oblimi FBM has simpler requirements, making it the perfect choice for new businesses or sellers with fluctuating order volumes.
- With Oblimi FBM, you gain full control over your inventory while avoiding high storage fees for slow-moving products, which increases your profit margins.
- Oblimi FBM gives you more direct control over your business operations and customer experience, ensuring reliable fulfillment and transparent communication.
- Beyond Amazon, Oblimi FBM also supports fulfillment for Shopify, eBay, TikTok Shop, and more—helping you scale across multiple sales channels with one solution.
Businesses also get direct branding control, since orders fulfilled via FBM don’t have to be in Amazon branded boxes. Amazon FBM also allows for more control over customer support messaging, giving you more power to resolve customer complaints.

Hybrid FBA and FBM Services with Oblimi
Many successful sellers combine FBA and FBM to build a more stable and flexible supply chain. With Oblimi, you can take advantage of both models seamlessly:
- Expand to New Markets:Test international markets without committing to large FBA stock by leveraging Oblimi’s FBM services directly from China.
- Backup Fulfillment for Stockouts:We design hybrid strategies where Amazon FBA handles the majority of fulfillment, but Oblimi FBM steps in instantly when FBA warehouses run out of stock—keeping your listings active and sales flowing.
Businesses also get direct branding control, since orders fulfilled via FBM don’t have to be in Amazon branded boxes. Amazon FBM also allows for more control over customer support messaging, giving you more power to resolve customer complaints.
The Benefits of Listing on Amazon for DTC Brands
DTC brands that aren’t selling on Amazon may be missing huge growth opportunities. Amazon offers access to millions of active customers while complementing your existing sales channels. With Oblimi FBM services, DTC brands can enjoy:
- Social Proof:A well-rated Amazon presence builds trust with customers, helping your brand gain credibility and positive feedback more easily.
- Easy SEO:Amazon’s strong authority on Google means your listing often appears at the top of search results when customers look for your products or brand.
- Brand Protection:Listing your products on Amazon ensures that customers find your official branded listings instead of competitors selling similar items.
- Pricing Validation:Matching your Amazon listing price with your DTC store helps reinforce your value proposition and gives customers confidence in your pricing.
- Higher Blended ROAS:DTC brands leveraging Amazon FBM alongside their own stores often see a higher overall return on ad spend compared to using a single direct paid channel.
Easy API Integration into Amazon’s Platform
Whether you’re running exclusive FBM, combining FBM with FBA, or cross-listing products across channels, Oblimi makes integration effortless. Our API ensures your backend fulfillment is fully synchronized with Amazon, preventing missed orders, delays, or double-shipments.
