Get Reimbursed for FBA Customer Returns That Never Come Back
As an Amazon FBA seller, you know the returns process is a double-edged sword. When a customer is refunded, the money leaves your account instantly, and you are left waiting for your product to be returned to your inventory. But what happens when it never arrives?
This is a common and costly gap in the FBA system. Our Reimbursement Service for Missing Returned Stock is designed to close that gap. We track every return, identify the ones that go missing, and claim back the full value of your lost inventory.
Key Takeaways
Recover Value from Lost Returns: We specialise in securing reimbursements for items that are refunded to customers but are never processed back into your FBA inventory.
Close a Costly FBA Loophole: Don't let your products vanish after a refund. Our service ensures that for every refund, you either get your product back or you get your money back.
Proactive Return Monitoring: We continuously track the entire lifecycle of your returns, so you don't have to. Our system automatically flags discrepancies that need action.

Expert Claims Management: We manage the entire claims process with Seller Support, providing the precise data needed for a successful and timely reimbursement.
The Problem: The Black Hole of FBA Returns
Here’s a scenario every FBA seller fears: a customer requests a return, Amazon immediately refunds them from your funds, and the physical product simply disappears. It is never checked back into your sellable or unsellable inventory.
This leaves you out of pocket for both the product and the refund. This is a major issue because:
You Lose the Full Product Value: The cost of manufacturing and shipping the product is lost, and the revenue from the original sale has been refunded. It’s a complete financial loss.
It Disrupts Your Supply Chain: Your inventory data in Seller Central becomes inaccurate. You may be waiting on a product to be restocked that is actually gone forever, leading to flawed forecasting.
These are Hidden, Accumulating Losses: Manually tracking every single return against inventory reports is almost impossible for a busy seller. These discrepancies are easy to overlook and can add up to thousands of pounds in losses over time.
Our Proactive Process for Returns Reimbursement
We turn uncertainty into a clear, methodical recovery process.
Continuous Return Monitoring: We track your customer returns and refund statuses, reconciling them against your inventory adjustment reports to monitor the entire process.
Missing Item Identification: Our specialised system automatically flags any returned item that has not been restocked into your FBA inventory within Amazon's standard timeframe (typically 45 days).
Precise Claim Filing: For every identified discrepancy, we submit a detailed claim to Amazon with the specific Order ID, return details, and evidence needed for reimbursement.
Full Fund Recovery: Our team manages the claim from start to finish, ensuring Amazon processes it correctly and you are reimbursed for the full value of the missing product.

We take on this complex, time-consuming task so you can focus on selling, confident that your assets are being protected.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. I thought Amazon automatically reimburses for returns that aren't sent back?
Amazon's policy is to reimburse sellers if a returned item is not received at the fulfilment centre within 45 days of the refund. However, this automated system is not perfect and frequently misses cases. Our service acts as a comprehensive audit to find and claim for everything the system misses.
2. What about items that are returned damaged by the customer?
That is a separate issue. If a product is returned to your inventory but is marked as 'Customer Damaged', it is generally not eligible for reimbursement from Amazon. This service focuses specifically on products that are never returned to your inventory at all.
3. How do you track thousands of returns? Is it a manual process?
We use specialised software that securely integrates with your Seller Central account. It automates the process of tracking every return and reconciling it with your inventory reports. This allows us to monitor thousands of transactions efficiently and accurately flag discrepancies that would be impossible to find manually.
