A-Z claims for late delivery will now be charged back to customer or returned if delivered within 30 days
Just had a pop-up come up when looking at my A-Z claims page which said that any successful A-Z claims for non-delivery where delivery happens within 30 days of the claim - Amazon will automatically email the customer requesting the cancellation of the A-Z refund, OR return of the item. Didn't see this posted anywhere, and can't find it on the news section either. So thought I would post it here. Unfortunately I didn't copy the pop-up so can't paste exactly what it said and can't figure out how to find it. But this is very interesting news.

Hi@Seller_zc50DVO3FE5fz,
That is an interesting pop-up! It could be part of a soft launch of a new policy / product. If that is the case, if it is not fully launched, then we likely will not see a lot of posts.
Thanks for posting about it.

yup.. we saw that this afternoon.
that's encouraging.... until we recall all the previous programs Amazon has come up with which they failed to stand by.....

Just had a customer refunded $700 for a leather bag delivered one day late by Fedex due to a weather shutdown even though the customer signed for the delivery the next day. Amazon said any late deliveries the seller is charged for the item and the customer can keep the item. So out for the bag and the sale and shipping. Thanks. If thats the case maybe all the prime deliveries I've received late should be refunded and I keep the items too.

Saw it a few minutes ago. Says they will notify us along with the buyer - let's hope that is true. Its a micro baby step in the right direction.

Well, I am not holding my breath. This policy requires that the customer have a conscience and a sense of decency and fairness? And requires that the customer take action?

ya, already had one. Bought shipping elsewhere and they opened a to z claim. Then a week later after it showed delivered, they removed the claim from my ODR and said they were awaiting customer to confirm. Then i got a message saying I was getting the money back. So it works when you don’t even buy shipping from amazon. Which is the way it’s supposed to work.

This must be an early April fools joke! Amazon actually do something positive for sellers??!! Fingers crossed!

We aren't seeing this pop-up still.
Not sure it's going to affect a lot of people as those who use Amazon Buy Shipping already have these types of claims covered by Amazon anyways.
Plus, if they refund the customer from your account...meaning you get an ODR hit, it doesn't say anything about removing that ODR defect. Curious as to the specifics of this policy. It also doesn't say the customer is actually required to do one of those things, either.....(cancel claim or do return).
