Handle Returns Like a Pro
An inevitable part of any product-selling business (big or small) are product returns. Customers may need to return an item for any number of reasons. Maybe the fit of a pair of pants or t-shirt isn’t right; perhaps the product doesn’t match the description like the customer had hoped. The list goes on and on.
