Amazon mislabeled some of my products because they supposedly could not scan the bar codes. (Which is weird because the packaging hasn’t changed in a decade, and we have never had this problem before)
I have been able to track down where all the mislabeled inventory is.
How do I see how much of a particular ASIN is at a specific warehouse? I have been poking around reports and can’t seem to find this information.
How do I create a removal order of JUST the inventory at a particular warehouse?
There is no way I can get support to understand and then make the warehouse do a bin check to ensure the product is labeled correctly. The less stressful option is to pull back the offending stock
The Inventory Ledger probably offers up the closest approximation of this, but even it is somewhat problematic, largely for the reason our friend @aerides astutely states:
But the shuffling is tracked by the same Inventory Ledger. If you sort the darn thing by date, you can see the moves.
Here’s a question, how to get Amazon to destroy stock, all with a specific unique FNSKU, that has expired in the time that it has been “lost” in various Amazon warehouses? Can one say “everything you find with this FNSKU is expired, so do NOT put it into inventory”?
Yes, did that, but as Amazon finds items, they automatically put the stock into inventory. I don’t want to close that FNSKU, but I don’t use it any more, and the inventory is zero, except for lost stock Amazon finds.
I have basically realized all this. I wanted to ask them to do a bin check across the network, but there are way too many ways people could do a half ***ed job of it and just look at the label and not cross reference it to the actual product the label is on. Soooo… pulling all the stock back it is.
What sucks about all of this is that no matter what, Amazon would blame me for their screw up. Yeah, I know, it’s the cost of doing business with the Devil himself, but still sucks.
OK, but if they lost it, and the expiration date comes up before they find it, then they own it, and cannot charge me for destruction, nor can they sell it as an “Amazon Whorehouse Deal”, correct?
No, it’ll just go back to your inventory, maybe as fulfillable, or expired (if they may have noticed it is expired).
If they previously reimbursed you for it they can take back the reimbursement now that they found it. The fact the item is now expired is your problem.
And hence we see the wisdom of creating a separate entity for doing Amazon sales. Looks like it is time to shut down the current entity, and start up another. As Steve Miller Band sang “Go on, take the money and run”.
