How to check status of delivery on a requested removal Inventory shipment with an Amazon tracking number starts with TBA?
I have requested a removal of some extra inventory and received email stating the request is complete and returned inventory shipped back to us with a tracking number that starts with TBA ... I need to know how can I track this shipment progress using this tracking number? None of my tracking Apps can do an Amazon tracking number and some state that I must track it directly from within Amazon after I log in, but I didn't have luck doing so. How do I track this TBAxxxx number from within Amazon Seller Central? Thanks

Hello @Seller_tBPAzT1FuOVKE
Christine here from Amazon Forums.
TBA tracking numbers are Amazon's internal tracking numbers and can be tricky to track. Here's how to handle this:
Primary Methods to Track:
Go to Amazon.com/track (as a customer)
Enter the TBA number directly
If that doesn't work, try tracking.amazon.com
In Seller Central:
Go to Reports > Fulfillment > Returns
Look for "Removal Order Detail" report
The tracking information should be there
If These Don't Work:
Alternative Steps:
Contact Seller Support
Ask them to provide carrier and tracking details
TBA numbers are sometimes transferred to actual carrier tracking numbers
Important Notes:
TBA numbers typically indicate Amazon Logistics is handling delivery
These shipments often don't show up on third-party tracking apps
Sometimes the tracking only becomes active once the package is in transit
If you still can't track the shipment, contact Seller Support and request:
The actual carrier handling the return
A converted tracking number if available
Estimated delivery timeframe
Let me know if you have any other concern
