When a shipment encounters issues, AccelerList provides two recovery options: Automated Shipment Recovery for a fast, system-handled fix, and the Manifest Method as a manual backup. This guide compares both approaches to help you choose the best solution based on your situation.

Speed | Fast (usually ~1 minute) | Slower (manual steps required) |
Ease of Use | Fully automated | Requires manual work in Seller Central |
User Effort | Minimal (just click and wait) | High (download, upload, process files) |
Process Type | System rebuilds everything | User manually completes workflow |
Box Content Handling | Automatically backed up & restored | Manually uploaded via file |
Error Handling | Handles most common issues | Used for complex or persistent errors |
Risk of Mistakes | Low | Higher (manual file handling) |
Best Use Case | First option for stuck shipments | Backup option if automation fails |
Technical Knowledge | Not required | Basic Seller Central knowledge needed |
