How Return Processing Works

1

Return Arrives at Warehouse

Returned packages arrive at our Chino dock via any carrier. Each return is logged by tracking number immediately upon receipt.

2

Visual Inspection

Each returned item is opened and visually inspected for damage, completeness, and condition. Damage is photographed and documented.

3

Reweighing

Items are reweighed and billed at the applicable weight tier. Accurate weights ensure proper restocking and potential carrier claim support.

4

SKU-Based Sorting

Returned items are sorted by SKU type. The more SKU types in a return batch, the higher the per-unit sorting rate — reflecting the labor involved.

5

Restock or Quarantine

Sellable items are restocked into inventory. Damaged or unsellable items are quarantined and flagged for your review and disposition instructions.

6

Return Report Issued

You receive a detailed return report via the Shipout portal — showing tracking numbers, item conditions, weights, and updated inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to items that are damaged and unsellable?
Damaged items are quarantined and clearly flagged in your Shipout portal. You decide the disposition — whether to dispose of them, donate, return to supplier, or hold for further review. We do not take action without your instruction.
Can you handle FBA return processing?
Yes. We can receive Amazon FBA returns, inspect them, and prepare sellable units for re-listing or re-labeling as needed for FBA resubmission.
How is the SKU sorting fee calculated?
The sorting fee is per unit and depends on how many different SKU types are in the return batch: 1–5 SKU types = $0.50/unit; 6–10 types = $0.80/unit; more than 10 types = $1.00/unit.
How quickly are returns processed?
Returns are logged same-day and typically fully processed (inspected, reweighed, sorted) within 1–2 business days of arrival.
