Perfect Inbound Defect Rate

Terms, metrics, and workflows around Amazon Seller, Vendor, and Marketplace operations.

What it means

PIBDR (Perfect Inbound Defect Rate) measures the percentage of defective or damaged units upon inbound receipt to FBA. High PIBDR indicates supply chain quality issues or packaging problems. Amazon negatively rates sellers with high PIBDR and may impose sales restrictions. Low PIBDR requires strict quality control, packaging optimization, and close coordination with logistics partners.
