Recently, Amazon started offering sellers new options how to handle unfulfillable Fulfilled by Amazon inventory returned back to the company’s warehouses or otherwise unwanted stock.
It is now also possible to set automated removal of inventory to “FBA liquidations” or “Refurbishment”.
While FBA liquidations will only enable you to retrieve a very small amount of the product price, between 10 to 15% and what will most likely happen is that Amazon will sell your product under the same listing for literally the same price as you, at least you won’t need to have the product disposed of or sent to prep-centre, if you are an international seller without a local return address.
Here is a screenshot of a recent e-mail notice from Amazon regarding the matter:
Here is a copy of the full wording in English:
| New automated-removal options for unfulfillable inventory Hello, Effective September 9, 2021, we’ve added two value-recovery services options for automated removal of unfulfillable inventory: Refurbishment. Eligible customer-returned products that are in new condition but require low-touch refurbishing will be returned to sellable status at no cost to you. For more information, go to FBA repackaging and refurbishment services. Liquidation. Eligible products will be made available for wholesale liquidation through a trusted provider. If the products are liquidated, the recovery value is transferred to your account. For more information, go to FBA Liquidations. These alternatives to having unfulfillable inventory disposed of or returned to you can help you manage your storage costs and minimize the impact on your IPI score and storage limits. To configure these settings, go to Automated unfulfillable settings and select Liquidate, Refurbishment, or both. Unfulfillable units that are not eligible for these value-recovery services will be removed automatically based on your selection of either Return or Dispose. The Fulfillment by Amazon team |
