Our on-boarding teams are seasoned, hands-on professionals, versed in applying the reverse global logistics, Customs formalities and technologies involved in retrieving and returning purchases.   
  
For purchases that must be returned; those experts analyse and propose reversed solutions, customised to extract maximum convenience and financial recovery for retailers and consumers. We work with their staff to on-board and implement the rules and guidelines for handling their returned purchases.  
  
These guidelines include how items are inspected, graded for quality and condition, deciding if they are; resold, recycled, restocked, refunded, donated, or disposed of. 
  
Returns Are Simple For Consumers.
