I’m going to explain this situation as clearly as I can so that it becomes obvious why it is critical for one dedicated leadership team member to be assigned to this matter and remain involved through to its resolution.
In 2024, I sent inventory for two specific ASINs to FBA and AWD:
• ASIN B00HQLCJZK – Medpride gloves sold by the box (100 count per box)
• ASIN B0145JPHVS – Medpride gloves sold by the case (10 boxes per case, 1000 gloves total per case)
Major Inventory Discrepancies
Somewhere between my shipments arriving and being transferred between warehouses, serious inventory errors occurred:
• I sent in 635 cases of ASIN B0145JPHVS, but only 277 were received — that’s 358 cases missing.
• I sent in 1,493 units of ASIN B00HQLCJZK, yet Amazon reported receiving 5,019, which is not only incorrect, but that number continued to grow in subsequent months, eventually surpassing 15,000 units — all without any additional shipments from me.
This error caused me to be charged thousands of dollars in storage and FBA fees for inventory that I did not send. It appears there was either a severe miscount or another seller’s units were mistakenly added to my account.
If you simply compare the dimensions and weight of my actual shipments against Amazon’s reported inventory, it’s clear this is impossible. There’s no way I could have shipped that volume for the shipping cost I paid, nor would the physical shipment size or weight match.
• Each case of gloves (10 boxes) measures 20x20x12 inches and weighs 12.9 pounds
• Each box weighs 1.1–1.3 pounds
Key Example of the Problem
In a shipment, I sent 12 SKUs totaling 102 units, including 30 units of ASIN B00HQLCJZK.
Amazon, however, claimed to receive 1,811 boxes of gloves — a volume that would weigh approximately 1,900 pounds, supposedly shipped in one box that was only 15x16x21 inches and 49 pounds in weight. That is physically impossible.
Escalation History
I opened the first case over a year ago (Case ID 15793112071) and received no resolution. Since then, I’ve opened 10 additional cases:
• 17920146561
• 17190580071
• 17082583871
• 17071706771
• 17071428441
• 16961380451
• 16961314121
• 16960556901
• 16960607991
• 16922438241
I even sent a letter to corporate which got returned back to me...

Financial Damage
Although it may appear that receiving “extra” product would be a benefit — it was not. I was losing over $1 per box sold due to storage and fulfillment fees. I’ve attached a screenshot labeled “Storage Fees” showing over $7,500 in storage charges alone.
$41,819.65 in sales with a net loss of $902.
Realizing Amazon would not fix this, I made the difficult decision to request the inventory be returned to me — expecting Amazon would finally catch the error and reimburse me for the incorrect fees.
Return Mishandling
That didn’t happen.
Amazon proceeded to send over 15,000 boxes of gloves to my home over two weeks. Since it was during a rainy week, I had to secure a storage unit immediately, rent a truck, and personally move the product — incurring additional costs. I called Amazon and begged to have the return address updated to the storage location, but was denied.
To make matters worse, I was charged over $32,000 in return shipping fees — for product I never owned in the first place.
Final Request
I am now at a breaking point. I’ve lost close to $10,000 in storage, logistics, and FBA fees, plus the $32,000 in shipping fees. This cannot continue.
Please assign one leadership team member to this matter and schedule a phone call with me to go over all the details and evidence. This issue requires escalation and accountability.
