BQool’s Prime Day Returns Tips
Amazon’s Prime Day 2024 brings both opportunities and challenges for sellers, with recent updates to return policy fees now affecting all product categories. While the Prime Day event promises increased sales, it also typically leads to a surge in returns, potentially risking account suspensions for sellers with high return rates. In this article, we will offer practical strategies to minimize returns and optimize your product listings, helping you maintain a healthy business in the aftermath of Prime Day.
Write a Very Detailed Description for the Products’ Size & Features
One of the most common reasons for returned items is because of unfit size. The buyers decide to purchase the product only based on pictures and it can be difficult to grasp the real dimensions of a product. Sometimes having sizes divided into S, M, and L is not enough. You should also list down the actual dimensions of each size with a size chart. If you sell clothes or shoes from different manufacturers, make sure that you offer a size chart for each of them. This may take a lot of time, but it will go a long way toward reducing returned items. Displaying the correct size information is not only important when selling clothing items, but it is also important when selling household appliances, furniture and more.

Accurately Showcase the Product
Present your item with multiple high-quality images from diverse angles. Utilize optimal lighting to highlight materials and textures accurately. This detailed visual presentation enables potential buyers to inspect the product, reducing the likelihood of returns due to wrong expectations. Use Video to Give even more details about your product.
Display All Product Variations
Show every version of your product clearly. If your item comes in several colors, make sure to take individual photos of each option. Proper lighting should be used to ensure that each color is displayed accurately. By adhering to these practices, you can effectively reduce return rates and improve customer satisfaction.
Figure out the Reason for Return(s)
Returns can be a double-edged sword: they eat into profits and potentially damage your reputation. However, they also offer valuable insights. By analyzing return feedback, you can identify hidden product issues, create opportunities for improvement, and transform customer complaints into positive reviews. For Amazon FBA sellers, it is crucial to monitor notifications closely and track all returns within the 45-day window.
Also, we remind you that when items are sent back to Amazon warehouses, they undergo inspection against resale standards before being categorized.
Returned items follow different paths based on their condition. Most returns are either resold as new, sold as used, sent back to sellers, liquidated, or donated. Items that don’t meet Amazon’s strict standards for “new” condition may still find a second life through Amazon Warehouse. This service offers customers discounted prices on quality used, pre-owned, or open-box products, complete with Amazon’s reliable delivery, customer service, and easy return policy. This approach maximizes the value of returns while providing budget-friendly options for shoppers.
Amazon Warehouse implements a rigorous quality control process for all items. Each product undergoes a second inspection, including thorough testing and a detailed condition assessment. For electronics, this involves powering on, testing functionality, and performing a factory reset. Based on this evaluation, items are categorized into four condition tiers: “Like New,” “Very Good,” “Good,” or “Acceptable.”
