FAQ & Helpdesk

Getting started with Shopreturns

All you need to start processing international returns for your customers.

Can I use Shopreturns as a small shop with just a few returns per month?

Yes, we don’t have any minimum requirements – you can use our service even with a single return. This is a major difference compared to many providers who require subscriptions or high volumes.

How quickly can I get started?

Registration and account activation take just a few minutes. You immediately receive a local return address to share with your customers.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No – we operate on a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for actual returns.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Returns by country

Local return processes in Germany, France, Spain, Italy and more.

From which countries can I organise returns?

We currently support returns from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium and Poland.

Why are returns from the UK priced individually?

Due to customs clearance and mandatory customs documentation, each UK return is quoted separately.

What are the maximum parcel dimensions under the standard pricing?

The maximum dimensions are W+H+D < 150 cm. Larger returns are handled individually.

Which carriers do you use for return shipments?

We work with leading international operators in each market – DHL in Germany, Colissimo in France, Royal Mail and Evri in the UK, GLS in Italy, Correos in Spain, PostNL in the Netherlands and Belgium, and Post AT in Austria.

Do you really provide a physical local return address in each country?

Yes – unlike many operators who rely on “virtual addresses”, Shopreturns provides real physical return points in every country. This builds greater trust with customers and eliminates the risk of rejected parcels.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Payments & return fees

Invoices, pre-paid balance, and return costs.

How are return costs settled?

We settle on a monthly basis – you receive an invoice with a detailed breakdown of all returns

Do I need to pay a subscription fee?

A subscription applies only if you have fewer than 50 returns per month. Above this threshold, there are no additional charges.

Are there any hidden fees or minimum commitments?

No! Our model is completely transparent. You only pay for actual returns. We don’t have hidden fees or long-term contracts.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Claims & return issues

Report problems and track resolutions.

What if a return doesn’t reach my warehouse?

We guarantee a 100% refund of the product value (based on the invoice) if a parcel does not arrive within 10 business days (30 days for the UK) from the scan at our foreign warehouse.

Will I be refunded if the parcel arrives damaged or empty?

Yes, our guarantee also covers damaged or empty parcels.

The tracking shows delivered, but I haven’t received the parcel – what should I do?

Tracking alone is not a confirmation of delivery. Contact us – we will check the status in the warehouse and initiate the claim process.

Do you offer product quality and quantity verification?

Yes! We provide Quality Check (verifying the condition of returned products) and Count Check (verifying quantities). What’s more, every new client receives these services free of charge for the first 6 months.

What makes your claims process different from other providers?

With us, claims are simple and fast – we guarantee a full 100% refund of the product value within the set timeframe, even if the parcel arrives empty or damaged. This is clearly stated in our policy – not handled “case by case” like with many competitors.

FAQ & Helpdesk

Shopreturns dashboard

Managing returns, statuses and settings.

What can I configure in the dashboard?

In the dashboard you can set delivery addresses, define product quality check preferences, and download reports and labels.

Can I see all returns in real time?

Yes! The dashboard gives you full visibility of shipments, from the scan in the foreign warehouse to final delivery to your warehouse.

Can I download a monthly report?

Yes – all reports can be exported to Excel or PDF.

Does the dashboard give me full control over returns?

Absolutely – you get real-time visibility and exportable reports. What sets us apart is that our dashboard is designed specifically for online sellers, combining tracking, reporting and quality settings in one place.
