Amazon I am a small time business owner. I test every product that I ship for any defects or damage yet i receive most of it as returns, when I investigate upon it i came to know that the replacements are placed by greedy buyers who returns their product on 19th day as in the promised return window of 10 days by amazon.
Since there is delayed payments we cannot sustain and re stock the items as small business. because of the 10 days return policy we are getting paid only after 10 days of the product return window closed. Do we get paid after 10 days? No, after placing the order it take at least a week to receive by customers so that is 7 days totally 17days delay, after receiving the product will be returned for the reason DAMAGED on the 9th day. how funny. we are waiting for nearly 16 days just to process that replacement and pay for their product deliveries.
Amazon charges eats up our profits where we invest money and you are profiting from it. You take referral fee, closing fee separately. I we have to run ads to sell our products and then boom you got extra amount in ads. I will be happy at least if the ads runs well, no its not.
Then the king arrives Deliveries, the deliveries eats most of the profits, we have to ship the product for 1st time then pay for delivery. we get a return fake request and charged for the return delivery, and send the product again with extra delivery charges. where is our profit?? amazon logistics is a filthy business.
WE PAY FOR THE STOCK, ADs, AMAZON, DELIVERY AND TAX THEN RECIEVE RETURN/REPLACEMENT REQUEST. NO PROFIT PURELY A SCAM DONE BY AMAZON.
People have to understand this and opt for to not sell on amazon. please let me know if any other platform is there to sell.
