Amazon cuts the FBM SAFE-T claim window from 60 to 30 days
From February 16, 2026, US seller-fulfilled SAFE-T claims must be filed within 30 days (was 60). The clock starts at the return delivery scan at your warehouse or the refund date, whichever is later. For lost shipments it starts at the last scan.
Your net on a $10 / $25 / $50 sale: n/a / n/a / n/a
A rule, not a fee. A claim filed after 30 days is refused, and you keep the loss.
