Amazon-1P-focused recovery specialists:\nRightfully, DimeTyd, Account Magician, AZZRecovery \u2014 worth comparing if your main problem is Vendor Central deductions rather than broader retail revenue leakage.\n3. Done-for-you / performance-fee providers:\nRefund Hawk, VASO, Superdisty \u2014 attractive if you don't want to build an internal claims team and prefer paying based on recovered dollars.\nOne important distinction: \u201cshortage claims\u201d can mean different things depending on the Amazon workflow. For Vendor Central, the core issue is generally Amazon's claimed received quantity versus the quantity invoiced/shipped. Amazon's shortage process can involve an initial dispute, re-dispute, and potentially settlement escalation.

Vendors can now re-dispute previously denied shortage claims, and the old email case-creation route for \u201cShortage Claim / Pay On Receipt\u201d has been discontinued. \n That makes it particularly important to ask a recovery firm whether it handles re-disputes and settlement escalation, rather than simply filing the initial claim.\nMy shortlist\nIf I were evaluating providers for a sizable Vendor Central account, I'd start with:\n\nSTAT \u2014 strongest candidate if you want a managed recovery service.\nSupplyPike \u2014 strongest candidate if you want software/visibility and your team will manage disputes.\nThreecolts/Margin Pro \u2014 worth comparing for a broader automated recovery program.\nVASO \u2014 interesting if you want recovery plus operational/root-cause work.\nAZZRecovery \u2014 worth pricing because of its success-fee-only positioning.\n\nAlso, don't limit the RFP to \u201cwhat percentage of shortages do you recover?\u201d Ask for recovery rate by dollar value, average time to recovery, treatment of old/closed claims, re-dispute capability, settlement negotiation, and their fee percentage.\nIf you tell me roughly how much you have in Amazon shortage claims (e.g. $100K, $1M, $10M+), I can narrow this to the 3\u20135 firms most appropriate for your size and compare their likely fee structures and capabilities." }, { "day": "2026-08-18", "question": "Which firms handle Amazon shortage claims for vendors?", "answer": "Log in for advice and recommendations tailored to you.Log inSign up for free" }, { "day": "2026-08-18", "question": "Which firms handle Amazon shortage claims for vendors?", "answer": "Yes.

Baros Solutions\nMy shortlist\nIf you're primarily trying to recover existing Amazon shortage deductions, I'd start with STAT, Margin Pro, Refund Hawk, and VASO.\nIf you want software/automation that your team can operate, look at ChannelEngine or BAROS.\nIf the problem is substantial and you also want someone managing the broader Amazon 1P relationship, Front Row is more of an agency solution.\nOne important distinction: Vendor Central shortage claims aren't the same thing as FBA reimbursement claims in Seller Central. The evidence generally revolves around Amazon's receiving records versus your PO, ASN/EDI, packing/shipping documentation, BOL/POD, invoices, etc. Amazon Vendor sellers themselves report using signed BOLs and matching order information to successfully dispute shortages. sellercentral.amazon.com\nIf you tell me roughly how much you do in annual Amazon 1P sales (e.g. $5M, $25M, $100M+) and whether you want contingency/no-win-no-fee or a fixed-fee firm, I can narrow this to the 3 best firms and compare their likely fees, lookback period, recovery scope, and reputation." }, { "day": "2026-08-18", "question": "Which firms handle Amazon shortage claims for vendors?", "answer": "If you mean Amazon Vendor Central (1P) shortage claims\u2014where Amazon says it received fewer units than you invoiced\u2014there are several firms that specifically handle recovery/disputes.\nFirms worth looking at\n\n\nRecofoxx \u2014 Specializes in Amazon shortages and chargebacks.

Amazon's own forum contains recent reports from vendors describing changes in the dispute/escalation process, so I would ask any recovery firm exactly how they handle denied/re-disputed claims and what historical period they can recover.
