  1. Securely pack your return item(s).

  2. Print label or use the QR code when you drop it off.

  3. Drop off at a local %{carrier} location or arrange a pick-up before %{return_by_date}.

  4. Your %{resolution} will be issued once the return has been processed.

Click Revert to default to restore the original template after editing.

If you use manual labels

With no label generated automatically, this field is the main place customers learn how to ship the item back. Cover:

  • The address to send to

  • Whether to include anything in the box, such as a printed RMA

  • Who pays for shipping and how

  • Whether you need a tracking number, and where to send it
