Chargeback

A deduction a retailer takes from a supplier's invoice for not meeting its shipping rules.

Last reviewed October 27, 2026. How we check facts

Wrong pallet type, broken pallets or over-height loads can all trigger chargebacks under a retailer's supplier agreement. The amounts and rules are in each retailer's own documents.

Track chargebacks by cause; pallet-related ones belong in your needs analysis and supplier SLA.
