Well, you have to create your own shipping courier company by incorporating a new business, get insured and bonded, upgrade your drivers license to commercial, and have your vehicle pass a commercial vehicle safety inspection every 6 months, and then gain the ability for your new courier company to make delivery appointments with Amazon's warehouse, all before you are even let into the yard. You also need to get steel toed boots, and a high vis vest. This appointment could be any time of the day or in the middle of the night, and Amazon can make you wait for hours.
Also, you may not get the warehouse closest to you, it all depends where the product is in demand the most, so you might end up being forced to drive across the country to deliver to Amazon.
This is only usually worthwhile for high 7 to 8/9 figure sellers as the cost to do all this wouldn't be worth the effort for smaller sellers. I have only heard of a couple sellers on the US forums that has the ability to do that and saved money over SPD (small parcel delivery) or LTL (less than truckload)/ truckload transport

No unfortuately you can't drop off. You need to get a courier to do it.

Hello @Seller_bLnMbypOI7FDW
Following on your post. Based on your inquiry, as per peer mentioned, it would not be possible for you to drop out the shipment directly to the FC, the best recommendation will be for you to use carrier company. More information on how you can create FBA shipment, you can see it on this help page.
