How to claim from Amazon FBA for lost or damaged stock

Earlier we ran a story that asked whether you night be due a refund for lost or damaged stock that you hold with Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon). It was prompted by an email from a Tamebay reader who had managed to claim back several thousands of pounds. If you use FBA then there’s every chance that you’re due a bit back.

What was unclear in the post was the exact process you need to go through, what reports you need to run and how you actually make a claim to Amazon.

Thankfully Chris from Repricer Express has come up trumps and shared with us a step-by-step guide (including screen grabs) called How to Get an FBA Refund for Lost or Damaged Goods. Cheers Chris.

  1. Those instructions for for Amazon.com.

    Amazon UK doesn’t have a filter for “Reason Group”.

    And the codes in the downloadable report aren’t very obvious. I wonder why that is? 🙂

  2. Very convenient and sneaky by amazon don’t you think Andy lol.
    I went through these codes Andy. Will be interesting to hear back from some of you on which letter code you were successful getting reimbursements for.

    D=Destroyed
    E= Damaged at FC
    F= Inventory Found
    H = Damaged Customer Return
    K = Damaged – Item Defect.
    M = Misplaced Inventory.
    N = Transfer from another owner.
    O = Transfer to another owner.
    P = Unsellable Inventory.
    Q = Damaged – Miscellaneous
    X = Correct for inbound shipment reviewing discrepenices.

  3. Had a reply this morning stating that you’d have to run the report by SKU with misplaced inventory, destroyed and inventory found and if there’s a discrepancy they’ll investigate. Claims can also only go back 18 months.
