What's the difference between WFS and FBM on Walmart?

WFS (Walmart Fulfillment Services) is similar to Amazon FBA—Walmart stores and ships your products. FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) means you handle fulfillment yourself or through a 3PL like us.

Do you apply Walmart Item ID labels?

Yes, we apply Walmart Item ID labels to all units going to WFS. Each label is scan-verified for accuracy.

How do I get my Walmart Item IDs?

Walmart Item IDs are generated when you create a product listing in Walmart Seller Center. You'll provide these to us in the intake form.

Can you handle hazmat for Walmart?

Yes, we handle hazmat with proper documentation. Walmart has strict requirements for hazmat labeling and shipping—we ensure full compliance.

What's the difference between Walmart DC and FC?

Walmart DC (Distribution Center) is for replenishment to stores. FC (Fulfillment Center) is for WFS e-commerce orders. Routing and labeling requirements differ.

Do you validate addresses for Walmart shipments?

Yes, all Walmart DC and FC addresses are validated against Walmart's routing guide before shipment to prevent rejections.

WFS vs FBM: Which is Right for You?

Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS)

Walmart stores your inventory and fulfills orders. Similar to Amazon FBA.

Pros:

• Free 2-day shipping badge
• Walmart handles customer service
• No fulfillment staff needed

Cons:

• Storage fees apply
• Less control over packaging
• Strict prep requirements

Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM)

You (or we) fulfill orders from your own warehouse. Full control.

Pros:

• No storage fees
• Custom packaging & inserts
• Multi-channel inventory

Cons:

• No free shipping badge
• You handle customer service
• Strict on-time delivery metrics

💡 Our Recommendation:

Use WFS for fast-moving SKUs to get the 2-day shipping badge. Use FBM for slower SKUs, high-value items, or products requiring custom packaging. We can handle both models seamlessly.

💡 Pro Tip: Walmart Item IDs are generated in Seller Center. Make sure they match your product listings exactly to avoid routing errors.

Labeling & Routing Compliance

Walmart Item ID Labels

Every unit going to WFS must have a Walmart Item ID label. We apply these labels using thermal printers for maximum scan accuracy. Label placement follows Walmart's guidelines (top right corner, away from seams).

Common rejection reason: Barcode placed on a seam or fold, making it unscannable. We verify every label placement before shipment.

Address Validation & Routing

Walmart provides a routing guide that maps your origin ZIP + product category to a specific fulfillment center. Incorrect routing = rejected shipment. We validate every address against the latest routing guide.

Step 1

Check product category

Step 2

Match origin ZIP code
