Here's some more Amazon inventory advice I'm finding out right now (unfortunately)
Sometime around the holidays, for some reason, I accidentally sent in a shipment with 229 units instead of the 200 I designated in the shipping plan. I've always reconciled shipments for having too few units, but never thought about doing it for having shipped extra units.
2 months later in the beginning of March, I sent a shipment with 80 units, which UPS ended up losing before it ever got to Amazon's warehouse. I messaged Amazon and as part of their UPS partnered carrier program, Amazon will reimburse me for the lost goods and handle everything with UPS - all I had to do was wait 4 weeks.
Today is 4 weeks. The shipment is still lost (go figure, right?), so I messaged Amazon. They responded and said that 29 of the units were found in the shipment I sent in December - that I sent them incorrectly in the wrong shipment, and they would reimburse me for only 51 units.
How the hell can they find 29 units from a shipment that is lost and likely sitting in the middle of a UPS warehouse somewhere? Not to mention that the shipments were 2 months apart and completely not related.
Overall, this might cost me at least $300-400.
Moral of the story? Reconcile your shipments when you send too many units as well.
