Easy returns for happy customers

2 in 3 shoppers expect their returns to be free*, and they want the process to be easy and convenient too.

With our reliable returns, stock is back with you quickly for re-sale, plus you can process any refunds promptly – keeping buyers happy, and making them more likely to shop with you again.

65% of online shoppers prefer to return items via the Post Office®*. You can provide a barcoded return label in their parcel – or let them print their own.
