If they deem the returns to be in new and resellable condition they’ll add it back to stock. Otherwise no, you need to have it returned to you and refurbished..

Q: Is there anyway that Amazon repacks the unfillable inventory. Because as far as i know, i have to create removal order for them. 3 PL’s dont want to deal with returns, unless you are using them for fullfilment purposes instead of fba.

The most important thing is to increase the likelihood both Amazon and a returns processor (i.e. a 3PL who will handle your items) knows the items are new and unused. Shrinkwrap works well as well as tamper proof stickers which need to be removed/cut to open the box. Do the math though – a 3PL will charge $2-6 per item just to put unused items back into stock; refurbishing items will likely be closer to $5-10+ per unit, if you can provide a clear SOP for them to handle. Unfortunately, often it’s better to liquidate/dispose in those cases.

I’ve been following your work for a time now. The info given on emails is realy valuable, and greatly appreciated.

The cockroach strategy on heavy&bulky items, is what i already been using, actually surprised to see as a suggestion where everybody is doing the contrary.

I am planning on subscribing as a monthly user in the future, when i have the time to make most of the sessions.

I have a question for you, how do you handle the returns processing, i am not living in us, and order removals are most of the time, undamaged goods, just open packs returned.

I have a really rough time in finding a return processor.
Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance,

Wish all the best,
Murat

Which course in EcomCrew Premium addresses this approach specifically? I own a logistics company, my wife is a photographer, and I even ran a Klayvio email marketing agency for about 6 months before I got bored with it. I think this might be a good fit for me :)
