Hello there! When it comes to selling on Amazon, dealing with customer returns is a common challenge.
While Amazon typically handles return pickups automatically, there are instances where returns may not be collected, and having too many returns can sometimes be detrimental.
Is it worth managing Amazon returns directly? Should you really bother managing them?
Let's uncover the hidden stories behind Amazon returns.
Reason of Customer Returns
In FBA, common reasons for customer returns include:
"Accidentally ordered the wrong product."
"Product performance/quality did not meet expectations."
"Product arrived damaged or defective."
"Product arrived damaged during transit."
"Amazon sent the wrong item."
"Clothing; product was too small."
"Product is not as described on the website."
These can be simple consumer mistakes, but most often occur when product listings and descriptions are inaccurately filled out or poorly translated from Korean to English.
According to Amazon's return policy, some return cases may sometimes involve bizarre scenarios such as:
"Product has been used already."
"Returned an empty box."
"Customer put something else in the box (contents mismatch)."
"Product was damaged when customer returned it."
These cases often occur due to Amazon's return policy, and it's essential to recognize that ultimately, sellers bear all responsibility and losses.
Understanding how Amazon FBA handles returns and refunds empowers sellers to mitigate unexpected losses and protect their businesses and reputations. When a customer returns a product, Amazon evaluates its condition and determines whether it's eligible for resale.
Once a return is processed, customers may receive a full refund or a partial refund depending on the condition of the returned item.
Customers can also receive refunds without returning the product to an Amazon center, which happens when a seller's warehouse is not in the US or if the return address is outside the US.
So, what should you do?
Amazon has compensation systems in place for sellers, and it's crucial to utilize these systems to ensure you receive FBA return compensation.
Amazon FBA Malicious Returns Compensation
The compensation for malicious returns in Amazon FBA is conducted under Amazon's investigation. Once a claim is filed with Amazon, they promptly initiate an investigation and proceed with compensation.
Cases where compensation can be obtained from Amazon include the following:
If a customer receives a refund for a product but it is not returned to an Amazon center within 45 days (the customer will be charged).
If the product becomes unsellable after return (e.g., due to damage during processing and shipping).
If the incident with the product is not your responsibility.
However, obtaining sufficient compensation from Amazon is often challenging due to Amazon's investigation process and the lack of substantial evidence.
