Returns overview 

A return is the process of a customer sending a product back to the merchant from whom they purchased it. When using a fulfillment center, the return is sent back to the logistics network and processed. As an ecommerce merchant, it is important to have a clear and efficient returns process in place to ensure that customers are satisfied with their experience and that returned products are handled correctly. You're only charged for return labels that are scanned and accepted by a shipping carrier.  Customers may return products for a variety of reasons: 

• Receiving the wrong item.
• Receiving a damaged or defective item
• Simply changing their mind about a purchase
