A well-established apparel brand selling children's bags and clothing across Amazon's US and UK stores. With several years of FBA history and steady inbound shipment volume into both regions, the account had accumulated a long tail of fulfilment discrepancies that had never been formally reviewed — the kind of losses that don't show up as a single obvious problem, but quietly compound month after month.
Like most sellers at this size, the team knew reimbursements existed but had no bandwidth to chase them. Reconciling shipment-level data against Amazon's own logs, identifying which discrepancies were still inside the claim window, and following each case to resolution is a full-time job — and it competes directly with the work that actually grows the business. A complete historical audit of the account surfaced unresolved discrepancies across every major category: lost and damaged inventory, inbound shipment shortages, and customer return errors where refunds were issued but stock never came back.
Every discrepancy identified in the audit was documented, filed as a formal claim with supporting evidence, and followed through to a decision. Of the claims submitted, 99.6% were approved by Amazon — a rate driven less by volume than by accuracy: filing only cases that are genuinely eligible, with the shipment IDs, dates, and quantities Amazon's teams need to approve without a back-and-forth. Recovered funds were credited directly to the brand's own Amazon accounts.

Consolidated outcome of the full historical FBA audit across both marketplaces — recovered value, coverage, and the accuracy behind it.
⚠️ Results reflect this brand's specific account history. Actual recovery varies with FBA volume, category, return rate, and how far back unclaimed discrepancies go. Recovery is typically highest during the first audit, when the full historical backlog is cleared at once, and then settles into a smaller ongoing monthly figure as new discrepancies are caught close to when they happen.
The value wasn't only the amount recovered — it was that none of it required their attention.
KwickMetrics handles the entire reimbursement lifecycle — from the first audit through to funds landing in your account. There's no dashboard to learn, no spreadsheets to maintain, and no ongoing work for your team beyond the initial connection.
Brands like this one see the strongest results when these conditions are true. The more of them apply to your account, the larger the unclaimed balance is likely to be.
💡 Tip: The longer your FBA history, the larger the unclaimed backlog — and claim windows do close, so older discrepancies are worth reviewing first. Start with your highest-volume marketplace. The amount surfaced in that first audit is usually enough on its own to justify the engagement.
