An Amazon FBA seller who moved 50,000 units in a year faced 3,500 returns. Instead of inspecting each one, he now liquidates all returned items, filling six trash cans with damaged stock before deciding the process wasn't worth the effort.
This is a reason for most of my returns on Amazon being liquidated. I used to have all returns sent to my house, but it got so overwhelming, the amount of returns that I had on my Amazon business. Like, I'm not kidding. Like, this is one of my brands, right? Like, this year alone, I have sold close to 50,000 units and I have 3,500 returns. Can you imagine dealing with 3,500 different weighted vests, chest packs, shoe cleaners, vitamins. It was so overwhelming that I literally have like 6 blue trash cans because I would just examine it, look like it's used or somebody else's product that Amazon or the customer went ahead and returned, and I have to dump it. So again, now I choose to just liquidate every single return item.
