How Safe Is It For Sellers To Use The Amazon FBA Program?
Have you made an online purchased and wondered how secure your transaction was? Did the company lay out a policy for returns or refunds?
Chances are you know about Amazon.com and the size of the company. You know that it offers a plethora of products to choose from. What you may not realize about Amazon is that it provides its services to other Internet stores and companies with its Amazon Fulfillment by Amazon program.
What happens is that these online shops are noted as being Amazon Fulfilled sites, which means when you purchase a product from them, Amazon is responsible for shipping and delivering the product.
Many online retailers are noted as being Amazon Fulfilled shops, which offer an amazing shopping experience. Some of these sites are niche-specific with many being full-blown malls that have hundreds of products for people to look through and buy. Amazon is regarded as the “King” of Internet shopping.
There are hundreds of non-Amazon websites you can do business with, but you may wonder if doing business with them is just as safe as if you were doing business on Amazon itself. It can be, and here’s what you have to understand:
Fulfilled by Amazon means all items are handled by Amazon workers and shipping from an Amazon warehouse. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get free shipping. Free shipping is also offered to those with an order of $35 or more. Amazon also handles all the products returns and customer inquiries.
What Are The Sites’ Return Policy?
Since the order is fulfilled by Amazon, any order placed will be subjected to Amazon’s returns policy. Even if you were to order from a website that wasn’t Amazon but is Fulfilled by Amazon, you still have some peace of mind that you’ll be taken care of properly.
You can send back any unopened product fulfilled by Amazon within 30 days to get a refund. Items will need to be returned in their original packaging. If Amazon makes a mistake in the process, it will pay for the return shipping costs.
