The Quest for Amazon Profitability

In the relentless battle for profitability on Amazon, recovering lost revenue is essential. Both Carbon6 and Threecolts Margin Pro are strong contenders in this arena, offering solutions to recoup losses from vendor deductions and chargebacks as well as FBA discrepancies. 

However, Threecolts Margin Pro pulls ahead by providing a more comprehensive approach to maximizing your profitability.

From negotiating better carrier rates to reducing your cost of goods sold, Threecolts Margin Pro acts as your dedicated advocate across your entire Amazon operation.

Meet the Competitors

Carbon6 Profit Recovery specializes in reclaiming lost funds for both Amazon Vendors and Sellers. They tackle overcharges, shortages, and chargebacks for Vendors, while helping Sellers recover losses from FBA issues like missing shipments and damaged inventory.

  • Carrier Cost Reduction: Threecolts leverages industry expertise and strong carrier relationships to negotiate optimal shipping rates, significantly reducing transportation costs—a service Carbon6 does not provide.
  • COGS Reduction: Threecolts provides valuable strategies and resources to help lower your manufacturing cost of goods sold, directly impacting your bottom line—a service Carbon6 does not provide. 
  • Vendor Profit Recovery: For Amazon vendors, Threecolts Margin Pro helps navigate complex vendor agreements and recover profits often lost due to overbillings, shortages and other hidden costs.   
  • FBA Reimbursements: Threecolts Margin Pro also includes FBA reimbursement recovery as part of its holistic profit optimization strategy.
