What to do with your Amazon FBA returns

Why returns quietly drain margin

Amazon returns pile up as customer-damaged, unsellable or removed inventory. Left alone, they sit in FBA, get disposed of, or come back to you as a mixed box you never process. Each one is margin you already paid for.

The recovery process

Most returns are not actually broken. A proper returns workflow recovers the majority:

• Receive removal orders and returned units at a US facility
• Inspect each unit and sort sellable vs damaged
• Regrade and relabel sellable units
• Send good stock back into FBA or sell via FBM/DTC
• Liquidate or dispose of only what is truly unsellable

How much you can recover

In practice 60-70% of returns can be inspected, regraded and resold rather than scrapped. On a meaningful return volume, that is a direct addition to your bottom line.
