Ongoing FBA Product Measurement Dispute — Any Advice on Escalating?
Hi fellow sellers,
I’m hoping someone here has gone through something similar and can offer advice or insight — I’ve had a case open with Amazon for over 2 months (Case ID: 17251226621) regarding incorrect product dimensions that’s still unresolved, and it’s costing us quite a bit in overcharged FBA and storage fees.
Amazon has recorded our product as having a width of 16.85 inches, which pushes it into the oversize category. However, we’ve submitted clear photo evidence with a ruler showing the actual width is only 9 inches. That’s a huge difference, not a minor discrepancy.
We’ve done everything we can:
- Submitted multiple photo proofs
- Contacted support via email, chat, and phone (calls always end abruptly..)
- Requested that Amazon provide their own photo evidence to justify the 16.85" measurement — never received any
Despite all of this, the response is always the same: they remeasure and report the same (incorrect) dimensions, without any explanation or proof. It feels like we're stuck in a loop with no one really reviewing the case seriously.
We’ve been paying the higher fees for months now, and it’s adding up. Support has not helped at all, and it’s getting frustrating.
Has anyone dealt with something like this?
Were you able to get it escalated beyond front-line support?
Is there a specific path or team that actually helped resolve it?
Does Amazon ever share their measurement proof (photo with a ruler)?
Any advice would be appreciated. I’m also posting here to get some visibility — hopefully someone from Amazon’s side is watching these threads and can step in.
Thanks in advance

Are the other two dimensions correct?
Have you changed packaging?

Hi MindMint,
It may not be an option for your business model, but issues like this eventually drove us out of FBA. It was a difficult readjustment, but an FBM business has been much more reliable and scalable for us. You just never know what Amazon is going to do when with the FBA model. It is not run well.

Hi Seller Community,
Just want to share an update that after two months finally the product was correctly remeasured. I am not sure if that is due to the forum or the latest message that I sent to Support but finally we have the correct fees.
Thank you all for the support on this
