How it Works

Returning items with Yodel involves the following steps: 

  1. The customer submits a return request through the portal.
  2. When selecting the Yodel 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 Yodel shipping instructions and drop-off location information.
  4. The customer goes to a drop-off location, shows the barcode, and drops off the items to be returned.
  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.
