How much time do you actually spend preparing Amazon reimbursement claims?
Hi everyone,
I'm researching how Amazon sellers handle reimbursement claims for lost, damaged, or short-received inventory.
I'm not promoting a product or looking for customers. I'm trying to understand where the biggest time sink is in the process.
A few questions for sellers who file claims:
- How often do you submit reimbursement claims?
- Approximately how long does preparing one claim take?
- Which part is the biggest headache?
- Finding the issue
- Collecting reports
- Matching shipments/orders
- Gathering proof
- Writing the case
- Waiting for Amazon's response
- Have you ever abandoned a claim because it wasn't worth the time?
- If software could automatically collect the evidence and prepare a claim package for you to review before submission, would that actually be useful? Why or why not?
I'm interested in honest feedback—even if you think it's a bad idea.
Thanks in advance.
