Send Removal Orders to LDR – Importing Removal Order Detail Report Takes No Time

Amazon FBA Removal Orders can be a nightmare to handle on your own! That’s why we offer a range of return management solutions. This article covers how you can import dozens or even hundreds of removal orders into our portal in less than five minutes by leveraging Removal Order Detail reports.

Removal Order Detail reports are available inside Seller Central, and they list everything Amazon is expecting to send. The reports include the order id, product info, expected quantity, and Amazon’s opinion about the inventory condition. Importing the info to our portal enables fast, accurate processing of your removals for maximum value recovery and turnaround time.

If you send a lot of Amazon FBA removal orders to LDR you should consider using the Removal Order Detail Report in Seller Central to do it. This will enable importing dozens or hundreds of removals at once, and it only takes a couple minutes.

You should do this process at least once per month, depending on your volume. If you’ve setup shared Seller Central access, LDR can do this for you periodically on an as-needed basis as part of our return management solutions.

Why should I manage my Amazon FBA Removal Orders?

Great question! Many sellers view removal orders as a waste of time or money, or see them only as a means to recover inventory. In our experience, proper handling of Amazon returns can often result in recovering over 67% of the inventory value. That’s not the only reason, though. Our returns management solutions are focused on improving overall brand perception and customer satisfaction. We do that by carefully analyzing sellers’ returned products to spot value-add opportunities. Even if you’re not using our services, you should consider doing that yourself.

Carefully inspecting your removals can reveal key insights into what drives product returns. In 2024, one client faced 51% of returns for “sizing reasons.” Using their removal inventory, we compared 10+ units per SKU and found it was actually a factory tolerance issue; sizing varied by up to 5 inches on identical garments.

However, managing removal orders yourself isn’t for the faint of heart. At times, it can feel like Amazon goes out of its way to make the process as frustrating as possible. Removals are often split into dozens of small packages containing just one to three items each, and even arrive via four or more separate delivery drivers.

Steps to Import Removal Order Details

1. Go to Report Central inside Amazon Seller Central

You’ll need to log into Amazon Seller Central and navigate to the Reports section. You can also click this link to go directly to it.

On the left side of the page, near the bottom, you’ll see a link that says “Removal Order Details”. Click that link to reach the page where you can schedule the report.

2. Generate the .txt Removal Order Detail Report

Select the time-frame since you last performed this process. It’s okay if you generate a report that includes orders you’ve already sent us. It won’t hurt anything. Orders we already know about will be skipped automatically.

After you select a time frame, like Last 30 Days, click the “Request .txt Download” button. After a few moments, Amazon will generate a file you can download and send to our portal.

3. Upload the file to LDR’s web portal

Upload the Removal Order Detail Report .txt file you downloaded from Amazon. Our portal will create corresponding orders for each Amazon FBA Removal Order. Orders we already know about will be skipped.

Importing Amazon FBA Removal Orders like this simplifies our process. It makes it easier for us to identify your items once we receive the shipments. Accurate product information speeds up value recovery and prep operations significantly.

4. You’re done – Wait for Results

As your inventory is checked in, you’ll receive automatic status emails. You will be able to monitor progress through our web portal.

LDR’s web portal will import all of the included removal orders and show you a list of what was imported. As your inventory is checked in, you’ll get automatic status emails and track progress through our portal.

The Removal Order Detail Report is essential for proper handling of Amazon FBA Removal Orders

By taking a few minutes to import your Removal Order Detail reports into our portal, you’re not just saving time, you’re creating the structure needed to recover value, identify product issues, and turn returns into actionable insights. Whether you handle it yourself or have LDR manage it for you, the key is consistency. Do it regularly, do it correctly, and you’ll start to see your “returns problem” become a measurable advantage.
