Amazon Easy Ship Lost and Damaged Inventory Reimbursement Policy
When using Amazon Easy Ship, you may be eligible for a reimbursement when your inventory is lost or damaged by Amazon or our carrier partner during delivery to a customer in accordance with this policy.
You can request reimbursement from Amazon for your products that are lost or damaged by Amazon or our carrier partners during delivery to customers. For items lost by Amazon or our carrier partners during delivery to customers, we will reimburse you the estimated proceeds of the sale of that same item. For items damaged by Amazon or our carrier partners during delivery to customers, we will reimburse you 40% of the list price paid by the customer for the relevant item. The reimbursement amount for any single item will not exceed S$2,000. For items valued at more than S$2,000, we recommend that you consider purchasing third-party insurance.
- We may dispose of any item that we reimburse you for under this policy, including by selling it, in accordance with the Amazon Easy Ship Service Terms.
- Amazon will not reimburse you for returned shipments, including rejected or undeliverable items. In addition, Amazon will not reimburse you if you were not available when the parcels are returned or you refuse to accept the returned items.
Reimbursement reversal
If we previously reimbursed you for lost inventory that is subsequently found, or if we determine that any reimbursement was given in error, we can reverse the credit that was applied to your account.

Our policies prohibit any activity that would interfere with our capacity to help other sellers. Examples of such activities include submitting insufficiently researched or premature requests.
