You are financing money that is already yours.
Marketplaces hold funds when something goes wrong and release them on request. Most sellers never request them, because finding what is owed means reconciling refunds against returns against reimbursements, line by line, and no finance team has that capacity.
By submitting you agree to be contacted about your audit.
Live in days, not months. No cost to start.
- ?Nothing surfaces what marketplaces and carriers owe you. There is no report, no alert, no line in the P&L that says unclaimed.
- ?Claim windows close on their own schedule. By the time a monthly reconciliation catches a discrepancy, the window has often gone.
- ?Carrier invoices arrive with base rates, fuel surcharges, oversize fees and zone assignments, generated by billing systems with a known error rate.
- ?The loss never presents as a loss. It shows up as margin that is quietly worse than it should be.
- ✓Every marketplace transaction reconciled: refund issued, item returned, money credited.
- ✓Every parcel measured against the service you paid for.
- ✓Every invoice line matched to your rate card, with discrepancies filed for credit.
- ✓All of it in a recovery ledger you can export and audit.

Frequently asked questions
How much Amazon revenue goes unreimbursed?
Shipherd estimates that 1–3% of marketplace revenue is lost to inventory, returns and errors, based on our own operating experience rather than an external study. One live account moved from 0.14% to 0.65% of marketplace revenue recovered in a single month, with two claim categories still to switch on.
How accurate are carrier invoices?
Shipherd estimates invoice errors at 6% of carrier spend, based on operating experience and reconciliation across connected accounts rather than an external study.
What happens if you recover nothing?
You pay nothing. The fee is a share of money returned to your account, so Shipherd cannot cost you money you have not already received.
How does this appear in our accounts?
Recovered amounts arrive as credits and reimbursements into your existing marketplace and carrier accounts, exactly as they would if claimed manually. Shipherd invoices separately against confirmed recoveries, so the audit trail stays clean.
Can we see what is being claimed?
Yes. Every claim, its status, its evidence and its value sit in an exportable recovery ledger. Nothing is filed without a record.
