Hello Amazon Moderators,
I am requesting assistance with a long-running FBA inventory investigation that has now remained unresolved for over six weeks.
50 units of one FNSKU were originally recorded as SELLABLE, later moved through WAREHOUSE_DAMAGED, and ultimately reclassified as DISTRIBUTOR_DAMAGED.
Seller Support confirmed that a physical inspection request was submitted to fulfilment centre STN6 on 21 July 2026.
Amazon later confirmed that:
- all 50 units remained physically recorded at STN6;
- the fulfilment centre was unable to inspect them because they were in the damage-processing area;
- there was a significant backlog;
- the case had been escalated;
- a firm inspection timeline had been requested.
However, as of 1 September, I still have no inspection result, no photographs, no damage findings and no firm timeline. The latest response simply states that Amazon is still researching the issue with the responsible team.
The 50 units have therefore remained commercially unusable for more than six weeks without a final determination.
I am not requesting a general explanation of Distributor Damaged or non-partnered carrier policy. I am requesting a final physical inspection and disposition decision:
1. If the units are undamaged, restore them to SELLABLE.
2. If damage occurred under Amazon’s control, apply the correct disposition and reimbursement.
3. If Amazon maintains that the units arrived damaged, please provide the inspection findings or other evidence supporting that determination.
Case ID: 13056278822
For privacy reasons, I have not posted the ASIN, FNSKU, shipment ID or transaction IDs publicly, but I can provide all of these details privately to an Amazon moderator.
Could an Amazon moderator please review the existing case and escalate it to the appropriate FBA Inventory / Fulfilment Centre Operations team for final resolution?
Thank you.
