FBA removals

[Canadianleaf]

1. I have a mailbox rental, but its an hour drive from me. I dont want to drive 2 hours every time to pick up FBA Removals nor pay for them to reship it to my address

2. UPS access points seem to be only as a backup for consumer checkouts, ie you have your address on the order, and if the UPS driver cant deliver, they hold at the UPS access point. The access point I called said you cant ship directly to them for you to pick up

3. I have no neighboors or friends in my area to ship to.

4. Ive tried shipping to a local USPS but UPS returns to sender every time.

What are my options?

You need a unique address to receive returns otherwise you run the risk of linking

Why not just go once a week or once a month? Just pile them up to reduce the trips

Im charged by the pound past 7 days of storing inv and have a limit, but w/e i may do this. theres a local CVS UPS drop point I called and they said I can send packages there just make to sure to include UPS DROP POINT or w/e so they realize they are not the client which I am going to try out.

If this causes more problems will do your route route.

It will link me to my other account. Cant use my home address. Wont even ship to my same zip code for security, will make it too easy for amazon to link me if they investigate.

What if you use a fulfillment center? Their address gets used a lot so it won't be suspicious in Amazon's eyes, and if an FBA warehouse address would get you linked to another account a lot of accounts would be under right now.

Not a great thing for business in general - less info an online platform has about you, the better

[agent006140]

I agree,but if they really want to know,they can find out.
Someone googled her own name and find out not only her profile is there,there is also a high school photo of hers,and that was taken 40 years ago!

This is a possability. Note, my fba removals are less then 100 items per year so its a small amount. I want to keep this proceses as simple as possible.

Usng a third party fulfillment center may add unncessary complexity and costs and relying on some elses judgment of my inventory for accuracy which I would prefer to do myself

3rd party fulfillment/mail forwarder would work. You could have the stuff sent to your house from that 3rd party address

Would cost you more, but you wouldn't have to make that hour trip

I simply ask Amazon to dispose of them for me.
TBH I never did much with my returns, a lot went in the bin anyway.

[agent006140]

Does AMZN charge you for disposal,I remember there is a fee

[Hank]

Same fee for disposal and returns. (in Europe anyway)
