UPS Returns®

Manage Returns Better and Improve Customer Experience

Turn your returns process into a competitive advantage with the help of an industry leader--serve your customers better and create value with streamlined returns management and reverse logistics through UPS.

With UPS Returns, you gain greater control and visibility, so you're never surprised by an incoming return shipment. That perspective can increase your efficiency, let you react more quickly, and positively impact your bottom line. Your customers expect reliable returns, and meeting their needs can increase their loyalty to your business.

UPS Returns can help you:

  • Ensure compliance by controlling speed and cost of inbound shipments
  • Minimise mistaken return shipments to the wrong warehouses or repair centres
  • Create and deliver commercial invoices with return labels to international customers
  • Forecast volume and adjust staffing around inbound returns
  • Link shipment information directly into your customer service or warehouse operations
  • Maximise fast recovery of high-value goods, before they become obsolete

Your company is not billed for the transportation of a UPS Returns parcel until after it enters the UPS network.
