How it Works

Returning items with The Return involves the following steps: 

  1. The customer submits a return request through the portal.
  2. When selecting the The Return return method, the customer sees the locations nearest to them, based on the ZIP code from the original order.
  3. Once the RMA is approved, the customer receives the The Return shipping instructions and drop-off location information.
  4. The customer goes to a drop-off location, shows the QR code, and drops off the return items.
  5. Once the package is received at the drop-off location, the RMA is marked In Transit and the refund/exchange is automatically issued.
  6. All return packages go to a centralized hub for consolidation and inspection.
  7. From the hub, the items are sent to your warehouse.

Limitations

  • When a The Return return method is selected, the exchange/refund will be automatic, and executed immediately when the shipment is marked In transit. This setting can not be customized.
