This post will cover the process sellers can take to reconcile any discrepancies found in their FBA shipments. Amazon FBA is a great program that takes the stress of warehousing inventory and shipping individual orders away from the seller. It not only can reduce your storage costs but also makes your products prime eligible which can offer faster delivery times for your customers, making it great for both sellers and buyers. However, when sellers send in inventory to Amazon FBA some units can get lost or misplaced during the shipping and receiving process. Sellers can work with Amazon to reconcile these missing/misplaced units by opening an investigation with Amazon’s receiving team to locate the inventory. Although Amazon will work with the seller the investigation process can be different if the seller is the manufacturer or is working with a separate manufacturer. This post will cover best practices for sellers and the documentation that is needed to open casework with Amazon and reconcile any discrepancies that were found during the FBA shipping process.
