Amazon Dropshipping Guide in 2025
In this article, DailyFulfill will walk you through everything you need to know about Amazon dropshipping and help you scale your Amazon dropshipping business.
We support both Amazon FBA prep (bulk inventory to Amazon warehouses) and FBM dropshipping (direct to customer). Pre-stocked inventory, 6-12 hour processing, proper FNSKU labeling, and quality checks that keep your seller metrics safe
FBA Prep • Safe FBM Tracking • Blank Packaging
Amazon sellers have two completely different ways to fulfill orders, and the choice shapes everything — your costs, your speed, your compliance requirements, and what your fulfillment partner needs to do for you. We support both. Here is how to decide which one fits your business, and what we handle in each case.
You ship bulk inventory to Amazon's warehouses. Amazon handles storage, picking, packing, delivery, and returns.
We handle everything before your inventory reaches Amazon: sourcing, bulk purchase, quality inspection, FNSKU labeling, packaging, and freight shipment to Amazon warehouses — in the US, EU, or other destinations.
You ship orders yourself, directly to Amazon customers. Amazon only provides the marketplace — everything else is up to you.
We fulfill every Amazon order for you directly from our warehouse — pre-stocked inventory, 6-12 hour processing, trusted carriers with stable tracking, and blank packaging that meets Amazon's seller rules.
Most established Amazon sellers use a mix of both. FBA for their best-sellers and Prime-eligible SKUs, FBM for new products they are still testing or slow-moving items where FBA fees would eat their profit margin.
A common approach: start a new product as FBM to test the market without committing to bulk inventory. Once it proves itself, switch to FBA to scale. We handle both modes in parallel — you can run FBA and FBM through us at the same time, on the same account.
Amazon rejects bad shipments. Wrong FNSKU labels, broken items, missing certificates, or oversized master cartons all trigger fees, delays, or worse. Here is exactly what we handle before your bulk inventory leaves our warehouse for Amazon.
Every unit Amazon receives needs a correct FNSKU label — and a wrong label means your inventory gets lost in Amazon's warehouse. We are familiar with Amazon's labeling and barcode requirements, and we offer FNSKU labeling as a standard service.
For most bulk orders, the most efficient approach is to send us your FNSKU codes first, and we forward them to the factory to apply during production. When the labeled goods arrive at our warehouse, we double-check the labels before shipping to Amazon. This saves you labeling fees and catches errors earlier in the process.
Amazon FBA does not accept defective inventory — and sending bad stock into Amazon's warehouse will destroy your account health, pile up return fees, and get your listings suppressed. Every batch we prep goes through the same 5-step inspection we use for all orders.
Amazon requires different compliance certificates depending on the product category — CE for electronics sold in the EU, CPSC for children's products, FDA for certain consumables, and so on. We understand these requirements and help you work with them.
For most orders, we use certificates that the factory already has — this is the fastest and cheapest path. If your product needs a certificate the factory does not have, and you are ordering at high volume, we can help arrange the additional certification. For low-volume orders where the certificate cost would exceed the margin, we will tell you upfront rather than sell you a service that does not make financial sense.
Once your inventory is inspected and labeled, we pack it into master cartons and arrange freight shipment to your designated Amazon fulfillment center — in the US, EU, UK, or other markets Amazon supports. Your inventory arrives at Amazon ready to go live, without the delays and errors that come from amateur prep.
Amazon grades every FBM seller on a handful of hard metrics. Miss them repeatedly and you lose the Buy Box, get your listings suppressed, or worse — your seller account gets suspended. Here is what we do to keep your metrics healthy on every order we ship.
Amazon tracks how quickly you dispatch orders after receiving them — your Handling Time. Fast, consistent dispatch times improve your Buy Box eligibility and your seller rating. With your inventory pre-stocked in our China warehouse, we ship Amazon FBM orders within 6-12 hours from the moment they reach our system.
Amazon's Valid Tracking Rate penalizes FBM sellers whose tracking numbers do not scan or show activity. We ship through carriers like YunExpress and Yanwen — logistics partners whose tracking systems are built for cross-border ecommerce and provide consistent scan events from pickup to delivery. The specific carrier is chosen based on destination country and product type.
Amazon's Order Defect Rate is the single most dangerous metric for FBM sellers — one batch of broken items can push you past the 1% threshold and suspend your account. We apply our 5-step inspection process to every FBM batch in our warehouse: quantity, specs, visual check, size verification, and function test for electronics.
Amazon strictly prohibits packaging that promotes other stores or marketplaces. A Chinese factory invoice, a promotional flyer, or any branding from a different seller inside the package can trigger a buyer complaint and a policy violation. Every FBM package we ship goes out in blank, unbranded packaging — or in your own custom packaging if you have one set up with us.

Yes, we support both. FBA prep involves preparing your bulk inventory (FNSKU labeling, quality inspection, packaging) and arranging freight shipment to Amazon’s fulfillment centers. FBM means we ship orders directly from our warehouse to your Amazon customers, with 6-12 hour processing from pre-stocked inventory. Many sellers use both modes in parallel — FBA for best-sellers, FBM for testing new products or slow-moving items — and we can handle both on the same account.
We are familiar with Amazon’s labeling and barcode requirements and offer FNSKU labeling as a standard service. However, for most bulk orders, our honest recommendation is different: the fastest and most cost-effective approach is to send us your FNSKU codes first, so we can forward them to the factory to apply during production. When the labeled goods arrive at our warehouse, we double-check the labels before shipping to Amazon. This saves you labeling fees and catches errors earlier in the process.
We understand Amazon’s compliance requirements and help you work with them case by case. For most orders, we use certificates that the factory already has — this is the fastest and cheapest path. If your product needs a certificate the factory does not have, and you are ordering at high volume, we can help arrange the additional certification. For low-volume orders where the certificate cost would exceed the margin, we will tell you upfront rather than sell you a service that does not make financial sense.
With your inventory pre-stocked in our China warehouse, we process FBM orders within 6-12 hours from the time they reach our system. Your tracking numbers upload back to Amazon automatically. This fast handling time helps protect your Late Dispatch Rate and improves your Buy Box eligibility. US delivery typically takes 6-12 business days, EU delivery 3-8 business days, via YunExpress, Yanwen, or another trusted carrier based on destination.
FBM sellers are graded on three critical metrics: Late Dispatch Rate, Valid Tracking Rate, and Order Defect Rate. We help protect all three. Pre-stocked inventory and 6-12 hour processing protect your Late Dispatch Rate. Ecommerce-proven carriers with stable scan histories protect your Valid Tracking Rate. Our 5-step quality inspection — including function testing on electronics — protects your Order Defect Rate by catching problems before they reach buyers.
Every FBM package ships in blank, unbranded packaging — no Chinese text, no factory invoices, no promotional inserts from other stores. Amazon strictly prohibits packaging that promotes other marketplaces, and violations can trigger policy warnings. If you want to go further than blank packaging, you can set up custom-branded packaging with us (custom boxes, mailer bags, thank-you cards) — see our branding services for pricing.
