Starting February 15, 2017:
Amazon India offers over 100 million products, the largest selection of products for any online marketplace in the country. Amazon.in has introduced a new policy to safeguard your business from the impact of fees charged for undelivered shipments.
Policy details:
Effective February 15, 2017, for 'FBA' and 'Easy Ship' orders that are undelivered due to the inability to locate customer's address Amazon will reimburse you the following fees, exclusive of taxes: (i) 'Easy Ship shipping fee' for 'Easy Ship' order, and (ii) 'FBA Weight Handling fees' for FBA orders. In case of non-delivery of FBA orders, Amazon will additionally reimburse 'FBA Pick & Pack Fees'. Under this reimbursement policy, all shipments that are marked 'undelivered' on or after January 1, 2017 are eligible for such reimbursement of fees.
The reimbursement for such undelivered shipments for a given month will be processed between 8th and 15th of the following month. You can find such reimbursement (if any payable) under “Payments > Reports” section in your 'Seller Central’ account, as a single entry with the description “Non-subscription fee adjustment”. Amazon will notify you (via email) of the exact amount that has been reimbursed to you, for a given month, by 25th of the following month.
Important:
- Reimbursement for the shipments which could not be delivered due to the inability to locate the customer's address will be added to the disbursable balance of your 'Seller Central' account for the current payment settlement cycle.
