Returns Processing

Returns are processed and classified within 24 hours — ready for resale, storage, or back to the supplier. Your shop is updated automatically.

Returns are a blind spot for many webshops — with us, they are handled as a matter of course. Within 24 hours of receipt, we assess the item, photograph it, and forward it to the appropriate channel.

Every month we measure which SKUs attract the highest return rates and for what reason. That report is your best starting point for improving product pages — and genuinely reducing your return rate.

How it works

From customer notification to sellable stock

Returns don't sit in a pile waiting. We pick them up the same day, photograph, classify, and update your shop — usually within four working hours of receipt.

  1. 01

    Customer initiates return

    Via your shop, a returns portal, or a QR label on the packing slip. We see the registration before the parcel physically arrives, so booking it in is straightforward.

  2. 02

    Arrival & verification

    15 min per parcel

    We photograph the box before opening and the item after opening. For values above €100 or fragile goods, we take a second photo of the key aspects.

  3. 03

    QC categorisation

    within 4 working hours

    A = ready for resale · B = sellable at a discount · C = storage for repair / refurb · D = rejected or back to supplier. You set your own QC criteria.

  4. 04

    Stock update

    Category A goes straight back into shop stock, B/C move to your outlet channel, D is blocked. All changes are visible in real time in the portal.

  5. 05

    Customer notification & refund trigger

    Our webhook sends the signal to your shop so the refund can be initiated. You decide whether to accept the return only after our QC or immediately upon notification.

What's included

In scope, optional, or not included

As standard, we process every return within 24 hours using the four QC categories. Fashion shops with high return rates receive a dedicated photography step; other categories are available as bespoke options on request.

In scope

  • Standard return booking

    Arrival scan, box photo, item photo, update to your shop. Fully digital — no emails to get lost in the system.

  • 4-step QC classification

    Four statuses with criteria you set yourself. Our QC staff follow your rules, not our assumptions.

  • Stock update to shop

    Category A straight back into stock, other categories routed to the appropriate channel. Visible live in the client portal.

  • Photo evidence for disputes

    On arrival and after opening — retained for 12 months. Proof is immediately available for customer or carrier disputes.

  • Monthly returns report

    Per SKU: which return reason, which QC category, which carrier. The insight you need to actually reduce returns.

Optional

  • Returns portal in your branding

    A white-label returns portal for your customers. We host and maintain it; you supply the logo and colours.

  • Reverse-logistics return label

    We generate return labels for your customers at your shop's checkout. Prepaid or pay-on-delivery — your choice.

  • Refurbishment for category C

    Minor remedial work for fashion (reattaching a button, straightening a label) or accessories (polishing, repackaging).

  • Cross-border returns

    Returns from the UK back to our Coventry hub, consolidated there and palletised to Zevenaar. Saves 60% on border charges.

Not included

  • Warranty handling with manufacturer

    Sending defective products to the supplier falls under your RMA process with the manufacturer; we handle the logistics, not the legal side.

  • Disposal of rejected goods (category D)

    For recycling or destruction, we work with a specialist waste processor. A separate arrangement, with certificates.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we hear often

How is a return assessed?
Our QC staff inspect each item's condition and classify it as A (resale), B (sellable at a discount), C (storage for repair or refurb), or D (rejected / back to supplier). You set the criteria yourself.
Does this connect to my shop?
Yes. Stock updates and refund triggers are sent back to your shop automatically via API or webhook. No separate exports, no manual updates.
How quickly will we see stock changes reflected in our inventory?
Category A is back on sale within four working hours. B and C move to your outlet flow as soon as the QC operative sets the status. Visible in real time in the portal.
What do you do with the product photo evidence?
Retained for twelve months in the client portal, linked to the return number. Your service team can retrieve it immediately for customer disputes or carrier claims.
