Voice of the Customer - defect query? re: time window

I was just wondering with Voice of the Customer defects, do they eventually drop off or do they remain there permanently?

I read through ‘How is CX health calculated’ etc, but there doesn’t appear to be a time window mentioned, such as on the other metrics in our accounts. It just says that it updates every time there is a sale or defect added to a particular listing.

With the recent introduction of the ‘Returns Performance Dashboard’ and at some point, this metric could be enforced, it makes it quite worrying that customers could very easily damage our listing health with very few returns requests. From what I’ve seen on the forum of late, it seems the general feel is that returns requests are on the increase, given the recent changes Amazon has made regarding returns.

I’m sure like most sellers here, I find that customers more often than not do not select the correct and appropriate return option, this can be for several different reasons.

Given the clear and obvious issues with the link between the returns performance dashboard and the voice of the customer metric, hopefully, the returns performance dashboard won’t be enforced anytime soon such as the on-time delivery rate metric.

I believe they should drop off after 30 days provided you have further sales for that SKU.

If you have no further sales then I believe it drops off after 12 months.

Does this disappear from your Seller Central Homepage, after a certain time period if the customer does not return the order to you, so no refund would have been issued?

I hope they don’t enforce the returns, a lot of our stuff is clothing and we get plenty back for not fitting after they try it on, I don’t see how a seller should be held accountable for a customer not being comfortable with a size.

The customer didn’t play ball with closing the return request, so I had to refuse it on made-to-measure items cannot be returned.

Not that I’m complaining, but oddly it didn’t take me over the 2% window rejecting 2 out of 3 returns, what a wonderful ‘smoothing’ formula! lol! :joy:
