FBA Reimbursements: Amazon Logistics Definitely Owes You Money!
Dear Amazon Seller,
Vacation time is starting and this is a great time to relax and prepare to restart at your best for Q4 and Q5!
As you know, in an Amazon business it's crucial to keep everything that brings cash under control: every euro counts when you manage your business! Regularly claiming Amazon FBA Reimbursements for errors made by Amazon Logistics is an essential activity to recover money and not erode your margins.
If you've never requested an FBA Reimbursement in the past - it's time to understand how to do it! And even if you've already tried in the past, there's always room to learn how to maximize them.
In case you didn't know, you might in fact have unclaimed money and if you don't request it through an FBA Reimbursement, you won't see it again.
But why should Amazon issue you an FBA Reimbursement?
By Amazon Policy, when the giant makes logistics errors that concern you, you might be entitled to compensation. Let's take time together to understand exactly how FBA Reimbursements work and how you can get them - credited directly to your Seller Central balance!
When Are You Eligible for FBA Reimbursements?
To maximize your reimbursement, it's essential to understand how each type of FBA Reimbursement works. Let's focus on the six common MACRO types of discrepancies:
DESTROYED INVENTORY
It's important to be aware that Amazon has the right to discard or destroy your inventory at its discretion, without needing to ask your permission. Fortunately, when this happens, it's possible to request an FBA Reimbursement. Keep in mind that, unless you check your reports with scrupulous attention, this type of discrepancy can be easily overlooked!
LOST INVENTORY
Your products go through many stages during their journey inside Amazon warehouses, once inside: the movement of merchandise between warehouses and delivery to customers. Here too you can analyze your inventory reporting from the last 18 months, but examining these reports can be tedious, as well as often incomplete as much data is "hidden" by Amazon's APIs.
SHIPMENTS
If you've been selling on Amazon for a few years you've surely experienced Amazon losing your incoming merchandise to storage warehouses: in these cases, not only is it your responsibility to request the FBA Reimbursement related to lost merchandise, but also to provide all documentary evidence (POD, Invoices, Photographs, Videos). If you've already tried to request FBA Reimbursements on shipments you know how difficult and frustrating it can be to get what's due from Amazon. But fortunately with our Team we've implemented winning frameworks!
ERRORS IN AMAZON FBA FEES
Although most FBA fees are inevitable, fee overcharges could mean you're eligible for an FBA Reimbursement. Sometimes in particular, Amazon uses incorrect weight or measurements to calculate your product's shipping costs. Amazon also might update your product's weight or measurements at any time, without notifying you: remember to have your product's correct dimensions ready when requesting this type of FBA Reimbursement!
DAMAGED INVENTORY
It can be discouraging to discover that one or more of your products has been damaged by Amazon Logistics. Fortunately, you can request an FBA Reimbursement in all the following cases:
- When a product is damaged at the fulfillment center
- When a product is damaged during transport from the fulfillment center to the customer
- When shipments are damaged during the journey to fulfillment centers
RETURNS
Customer returns are inevitable for any Amazon FBA seller. During the return process however, many discrepancies can occur that potentially make you eligible for an FBA Reimbursement. Some of these:
- Items returned in damaged condition
- Items returned outside the designated time window (45 days)
- Return of an incorrect item (SWITCHEROO)
- Refunds that exceed the amount paid by the customer
Regarding FBA Reimbursements related to returns it's good to specify that a preventive analysis of your product category is necessary to identify all possible areas where you can request FBA Reimbursements!
