What is Amazon FBA
Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) is a service provided by Amazon that enables online sellers to store their products in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Amazon takes care of the storage, packing, and shipping of the products, allowing sellers to focus on growing their business.

Common Complaints With Fulfillment By Amazon
Amazon Seller and Vendor Central can be a hard place to navigate when getting started. High costs, poor resources, and lack of time can quickly affect your bottom line or hurt your rating. Below is a list of the most common complaints we help solve for customers looking to grow their Amazon Store.
- High costs – Fees, such as shipping, storage, and unexpected re-work fees, can hurt your product margin if you are not careful.
- Poor customer service & resources – it can take weeks of emails and phone calls to get an answer, and it’s not uncommon to get different answers depending on the representative you’re working with.
- Forced free shipping – Seller takes on the shipping costs and storage fees
- Challenges receiving return orders – Receiving an Amazon return order can be a time-consuming process.
- Delays or lost products – Replenishment shipments get delayed or lost by Amazon and can cause delays in your current shipments leading to a drop in your seller rating
