What this page answers

What is coming back, why, and whether the returned units went back into sellable stock.

Whose data and scope

  • One store and one marketplace.
  • Rows come from Amazon's FBA customer returns report, by the date Amazon processed the return. Returns of orders you shipped yourself are not in this report.
  • Units with the same date, product, reason and status are summed into one row. The table is capped at 100 rows, so pick a shorter window in a store with many returns.

How to read it

Returns table

The 30d, 90d and 365d buttons set the window. Rows are newest first.

  • Date is the day Amazon processed the return.
  • Product shows the display name, the group and SKU, and the ASIN. The name links to the listing page.
  • Qty is the number of units in that row.
  • Reason is the reason code the buyer chose, as Amazon reports it, for example APPAREL_TOO_LARGE or UNWANTED_ITEM. Size and fit codes together usually point at the size chart; quality codes point at the product itself.
  • Status is Amazon's disposition of the unit, for example "Unit returned to inventory" when it is sellable again, or a damaged or customer-damaged status when it is not.
