 +When you send your inventory to Amazon, it goes to a distribution center first, which then splits your inventory out to multiple fulfillment centers. Often, Amazon does not re-use your packaging or case configuration while doing this.

 Amazon really doesn't do a good job inspecting returns, so a lot of "unsellable" inventory is incorrectly graded or easily fixed. On top of that, you can expect some returns fraud, in the form of similar (but different) products, which Amazon failed to notice. Amazon really doesn't do a good job inspecting returns, so a lot of "unsellable" inventory is incorrectly graded or easily fixed.

 +===== The Good News and the Bad News =====
 +
 +==== The Bad News ====
 +
 +These factors all make estimating removals very challenging. It's hard to predict what work actually needs done, how long it will take, or what the results will be.
 +
 +Many 3PLs and prep centers refuse to work with removals or provide very limited options because of these factors. You can expect most 3PLs to charge extra for removals.
 +
 +==== The Good News ====
 +
 +Your removals are probably worth more than you realize, and many of the issues explained above can be used to file claims with Amazon or the shipper. Filing claims requires experienced handling of removals by people documenting everything properly and taking the right pictures.
 +
 +Logistics Done Right is specialized in removal orders and returns management, and we're able to offer flexible solutions that fit your budget.
