Returns management
The right way to handle returns: vital for success
Here’s how it works
Today, returns management is an important part of the distance selling business. A well-designed returns solution and an overall view help reduce returns rates and increase customer satisfaction. We understand the distance selling business, and we know what is important in returns management and which preparatory work you need to undertake to make returns management a success. This is vitally important both for you and your customers who want to return goods to you.
Returns management can really help set you apart from other distance sellers and is highly dependent on the range of services available.
We offer returns solutions with three different service levels:
With business reply labels, you enable your customers to return goods at no extra cost, thereby providing the highest possible level of service.
With returns labels for distance sellers (99.01 labels), you give your customers the option of returning goods to you at a preferential rate. You also cut your returns management expenses.
You enclose the scheduled and pre-printed returns labels (99.01 labels) with the consignment. When returning goods, your customers stick the labels on the parcel and pay the return shipment costs (postage). By doing so, they benefit from a reduction of the rate of CHF 1.50 per parcel.
This price reduction applies to all weight groups and for all posting methods:
- posting at the post office counter
- pick@home
- My Post 24 parcel terminal
You can combine the labels with the customer/order number, making returns processing a lot easier.
The customers themselves take care of addressing return shipments at the standard private customer rates.
Who is this service for?
