Re-using burned address after 8 years
 

Has anyone re-used an old address (Canada) for FBA returns and personal purchases.
Burned our home address in 2012. Been using mailboxes since.
The issue is that AZ will use any stupid carrier for returns (CEVA is the worst), and if the return is not delivered to the PO box, than the item is lost and AZ will not reimburse.
Probably lost over 1K in the last couple of years because of CEVA (they farm out deliveries to whomever will take it) and others who will not deliver to a PO Box inside a post office.
Thinking of just adding a unit # to our home address.
Thanks

Risky move, if there is enough linking criteria they will link you

Address alone, or IP alone is usually not enough, but selling similar items/same items in combination with a re-used address will for sure get you linked

ARE YOU THE BUYER OR SELLER OF THESE RETURNS?
iF you are the seller and buyer cant return to your mail box,AMZN wont reimburse your buyer?

8 years is a long time,house can be sold to a new owner,
are you using the same name ?as the old account?

instead of PO box with post office,why not open one at private mail station,if the package is too big for your mail box,they will hold it for you,is there one nearby you in Canada?
They said it is expensive in UK,but in USA,it is reasonable

they will give you a suite number.

CEVA lost packages before for me.

Dont reuse addresses. Ive been having my US FBA removals sent to local USPS stores but UPS wont deliver to them which has been causing me lots of problems. They returned to sender a bunch of them I find out...lol

May see if I can send to the UPS store and pick up, but this too is time consuming as I have to drive very far and waste gas/time.

Or I may just send to some sort of buyback company. Have not decided yet.

I wont even use ship to addresses with the same postal code or ZIP code as linked accounts, buyer or seller.

It will work.

Re: Re-using burned address after 8 years
 

Only about 20 items in the 2-3 thousand different items we have sold in the 8 years. All names, IP, etc are different.

All new info on person, company, IP, browser, etc.
It's a standard Ghost account.

Ship to address in same zipcode will work. I used the same UPS store in the US, just changed box #, and it has been strong for the US account for 7 years.

Can you explain, offer proof?

Re: Re-using burned address after 8 years
 

They are checking the NAMES, not the addresses for matching related accounts. There are myriads of prep centers and reshipping companies providing the same address for hundreds of sellers.

Will research in Canada. Have never heard of them. Damn good idea.

I know for FBA returns, AZ wants a physical address not a PO.

Thanks
