You might be able to request a refund of Buy Shipping fees in
accordance with the carrier's applicable terms and conditions. The following notes
apply:
-
Amazon will
issue a refund only if approved by the carrier.
-
If you
request a refund and use alternative shipping, be sure to send the buyer the new
shipping and tracking information. Else, the buyer will not receive an automatic
notification of the change, and the original tracking information will remain
associated with the order in the buyer's Amazon account.
-
If you ship
a package, and confirm the shipment on time, but the carrier delivers it late, you
are not obligated to issue a shipping refund to the buyer. Instead, direct the buyer
to contact the carrier and request a refund based on the carrier's on-time delivery
guarantee.
-
To avoid negative feedback, ship the item promptly or, if you are
unable to fulfill the item, refund the buyer as soon as possible.
To learn more about buying shipping labels, see Buy shipping through Seller Central. See Reprint a shipping
label if you have to refund and reprint a label.
