returns are a headache

Unfulfillable merchandise collecting dust at Amazon FBA burns a hole in your pocket. Your returns have obtuse status messages like “defective” or “customer damaged”, and Amazon makes it so easy to just select “dispose”. We understand, nobody wants to mess with returns, so you bite the bullet and take the loss. All you can do is raise prices to compensate, right?


What if we told you there’s a better way?

Don’t eat the losses — There’s a better way

don't eat losses from returns

Returns are a growing problem for retailers, reaching as high as 40% return rates, and we all know Amazon’s return policies don’t help. Perfectly good items end up in land fills and liquidation lots due to inaccurate or even fraudulent return reasons.

Many sellers consider this a cost of doing business while others lose their shirt by not planning for it. Amazon’s receiving team seems to take customer return reasons at face value, and that’s how you end up with perfectly good items marked “defective”. That’s your profits going down the drain.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could inspect all the returns yourself? Imagine how much you could save by getting those products back to market.

Of course, that isn’t practical. You probably don’t have a warehouse staffed with subject matter experts and certified technicians, let alone the time to do that.

That’s where LDR comes in. Our Amazon Removal Order Service saves your money, time, and sanity.

Is the Amazon Removal Service for Me?

You probably already have a solution for your returns. Perhaps you’ve increased prices to compensate, partnered with a liquidator, or collect returns at a US warehouse before shipping back to your supplier. You may not realize how much more money you could recover, especially if you are selling high-value merchandise, private label products, or concerned about returns fraud.

High-value Merchandise

high value items

Are you selling high-ticket items through Amazon FBA? You may be surprised how often your inventory is showing up on warehouse deals or how much money 3rd party liquidators are making from your losses.

53% of customers return items because the product was “faulty of damaged when it arrived”. Amazon and other market places don’t try very hard to verify this, nor do they spend any time correcting problems. In our experience, less than 10% of returns are actually faulty or damaged. In many cases, the product is fine aside from minor problems with the packaging or a single defective component.

Private Label Merchandise

You’ve spent a lot of time and energy developing your product and brand. Hours and hours of your time and tons of stress later, you’ve hit on a winning product. It’s your baby, right?

Why are you disposing of your private label returns or shipping them back to your supplier? Why do that when we can refurbish and re-manufacture your items in North America, saving you time and shipping expenses. Returned private label items often need little more than repackaging and missing/faulty components replaced.

We take the time to intimately understand your products and give them the same level of care and attention you would. No product is too complex. We have a team of certified technicians across multiple disciplines from product design to electrical engineering.

We protect your investment.

Are you a victim of Fraud?

online returns fraud

You might be without even realizing it. Amazon FBA isn’t the greatest at detecting fraudulent returns, where the wrong item was sent back or even counterfeit items are returned. We put a stop to this. Your returns are expertly inspected upon receipt for any signs of fraudulent returns or counterfeit, and we provide you with all the information you need to file a claim with Amazon. We have saved our customers thousands of dollars through fraud claims and counterfeit detection.

14% of online returns are fraudulent, according to RL Magazine. When you work with a returns partner who isn’t equipped to deal with this problem you are a victim. Amazon’s receiving staff don’t open packages to ensure the contents are correct. Sure, if you sold a printer or a computer they may check if the package has one inside, but they aren’t great about making sure it’s the same one you sold. Too often, malicious buyers purchase a brand new item and return something else in the same package.
