Damaged and expired units can be identified in inventory at Deliverr’s warehouses. Deliverr will alert the Seller right away and proactively credit the Seller on damaged units identified, and alert Seller of the expired units, to minimize disruptions to daily operations.
All Sellers with damaged and expired units identified once the item is received in inventory will be notified via email. The relevant claims information will also show up on the Seller Portal under the Inventory tab for the specific product SKU.
Damaged units identified once in inventory will be determined as a Deliverr-caused issue and the Seller will be reimbursed at 40% of the retail price or the commercial invoice price. Expired units identified once in inventory will be determined as a Seller-caused issue and no reimbursement will be issued.
In the event that the Seller believes that the damaged unit's resolution is not appropriate, they may dispute the resolution at the bottom of the damaged unit details page under “Dispute Resolution”.
If the product was determined to be hazardous, leaking, or in any other inappropriate condition at the time of identification, it will be automatically disposed of and the disposal status will reflect it. Otherwise, the unit will be automatically disposed of free of charge after 7 business days.
Please note that Deliverr:
- Disposes of damaged units once they are reported
- This means we are not able to return or restock damaged units
- Does not provide reimbursement for products listed in our Restricted Products list
- This includes units that are expired
