Missing or damaged inventory
If your inventory is missing or damaged, you may be eligible for a full or partial reimbursement.
1. Determine if your shipment is eligible for investigation
If there are discrepancies between your shipping plan and what Amazon received at the fulfillment center, you can request an investigation. To be eligible for investigation, your shipment must meet four conditions:
- It has been shipped to the fulfillment center.
- It has reached the eligibility date for investigation shown on the Reconcile tab of the shipment Summary page.
- It has been received within the past nine months.
- It has proof-of-purchase documentation.
2. Submit a claim
To submit a claim for damaged inventory, contact us and include your shipment ID.
To submit a claim for missing inventory, go to your Shipping Queue. Find the shipment in question and click Track shipment. On the Summary page, click Reconcile. Then, under Status/Action required, select Missing–please research.
