Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated
Late shipments, mis-picks, damages, lost units and support failures can reduce margin and customer retention even when headline fulfillment cost looks competitive.
Records to reconcile
- On-time and accurate shipment history
- Claims, credits and loss records
- Customer complaints and reshipments
Warning signal
Service failures are excluded from the fulfillment cost model.
Transaction impact
Refunds, replacement shipments and platform metrics can impair earnings.
