Based on factors like product dimension, weight, delivery, the Order may fall into categories like -Small, Standard, Oversize etc. and the marketplace charges shipping cost accordingly. We help you reconcile overcharged shipping fees if the marketplace has wrongly classified the item and hence charges you incorrectly.
Pick-Pack Overcharges
This includes the cost of physically retrieving the item, packaging it and shipping it. We provide the report for all such orders for which wrong dimensions captured by the marketplace, hence the incorrect charges.
Inventory Missing without Reimbursement
The Marketplace refunds the Buyer and the inventory is not returned to FC. For the same unit, the seller deserves reimbursement as the item has not been returned to him. We help you with real-time data for the orders against which a Return has been created.
Carrier Damaged without Reimbursement
