On the Amazon platform, returns are an inevitable part of cross-border e-commerce sellers.
Whether due to product quality issues, logistics delays, or subjective reasons of buyers, returns
may affect sellers' inventory management, operating costs, and customer satisfaction. Therefore,
understanding Amazon's return processing process and using professional return service providers
such as U-Speed for efficient management has become the key to improving sellers' operational
efficiency.
Common reasons for Amazon returns
Amazon's return policy allows buyers to return goods within 30 days of delivery, provided that the
goods remain in their original or unused state. Even if the goods have been opened, buyers can
usually apply for a return as long as they are not satisfied. This puts higher after-sales service
requirements on sellers.
Amazon return processing process
Return request: Buyers submit a return application on the order page and explain the reason for the
return.
Seller review: Sellers manage return requests in the "Seller Center" and decide whether to approve them.
Return label generation: Sellers can choose to use the return label generated by Amazon or upload a
custom label.
Return processing: After the product is returned, the seller needs to conduct a quality inspection and
decide whether to re-list, repair, destroy or return it.
For sellers using FBA (Amazon Logistics), Amazon will automatically process returns, but sellers still need
to pay attention to the status of returned products and make timely processing decisions.
FBA inventory removal process
When the product cannot be sold again, the seller can return or destroy the product by creating a removal
order. The processing time of the removal order may be up to 90 days or more, and sellers need to plan in
advance to avoid inventory backlogs and additional costs.
