  • Transparent estimate, threshold, and rounding notes for human review

Who it is for

Amazon FBA sellers, agencies, and finance teams turning a per-product returns export into a bounded list of which SKUs are running a returns-processing-fee bill before a human checks the source report.

Delivery: usually a structured result, workbook, or ZIP depending on the tool.

How it stays safe

Friday performs arithmetic only on the per-product units, return counts, category thresholds, and per-unit fees you supply. It reads no Amazon account, returns report, or fee schedule and verifies no value. Amazon's returns processing fee applies to units returned above a category-specific threshold at a per-unit amount set by the product's size tier and weight—both the threshold and the fee are supplied here, not looked up. Estimated chargeable units and fee exposure are triage estimates, not Amazon's billed count, its rounding, proof a fee was charged, or a dispute-worthy finding. Friday files no case, edits no listing or price, changes no inventory, does not publish listings, and modifies no seller account. A human must verify the current returns report and Amazon fee guidance before acting.
