Take Corrective Actions

Monitor NCX Metrics
- Track:
- NCX Rate (overall problem rate)
- NCX Return Rate (returns due to listing/product issues)
- NCX Review Rate (negative reviews due to product/listing issues)
Follow Up
- Recheck the dashboard weekly for updates
- Allow a few weeks for changes to reflect in CX Health
Request Support if Needed

NCX Review Rate
- This is the rate at which customers leave negative feedback related to a specific ASIN.
Formula:
NCX Review Rate = (Negative Customer Experience Reviews / Total Orders) × 100
- A high % means more customers are reporting issues through product reviews.
NCX Return Rate
- This shows the rate of returns triggered by a poor experience.
Formula:
NCX Return Rate = (NCX Returns / Total Orders) × 100
- A higher rate may indicate problems like item not as described, poor quality, etc.
📌 Goal: Keep both rates as low as possible to avoid ASIN suppression or account health issues. Amazon flags NCX metrics that exceed category benchmarks.
