Label and hand-in requirements
UK retailer returns may use ParcelShop, Locker or booked collection when offered. A supported ParcelShop can print from the supplied code. Evri’s retailer-return and general Locker instructions describe different label workflows, including on-site printing for supported bookings. Confirm the retailer, chosen location and issued code before telling a customer where a label will be printed.
The exception to design around
A ParcelShop QR code does not by itself confirm Locker printing or label provision for collection. Follow the selected retailer booking; use on-site printing only where its code and location explicitly support it.
How to scope the transport and handling cost
Start with the real parcel profile and route. Ask who holds the carrier account, who issues labels and who receives the transport invoice. Compare the complete return movement with warehouse work priced separately. A customer-facing free return still has a payer behind it.
- Origin postcode, receiving postcode and expected parcels per month.
- Packed weight and dimensions, product category and any restricted contents.
- Selected hand-in channel, printing arrangement and collection requirements.
- Transport charges, relevant surcharges, customs work and failed-return handling.
Records that make a return traceable
Connect the order or RMA to the transport reference before the parcel leaves the customer. A portal request, carrier acceptance scan and warehouse receipt describe different events. Keep each one so customer service can identify where an exception occurred.
- Return approval and the exact label or code issued.
- Proof of hand-in or completed collection and the tracking reference.
- Actual warehouse arrival, parcel condition and item-count reconciliation.
- Inspection findings and the merchant’s approved next action.
What happens after carrier delivery
At the agreed receiving location, PickPaket’s handling scope is set for your project. Decide what must be recorded at arrival and which work can proceed automatically. Stock that needs a decision stays linked to its original reference.
Receive and reconcile
Match the parcel to its reference, record the agreed arrival information and separate unmatched or damaged arrivals for review.
Receiving & storageInspect to an agreed brief
Specify the checks, photos and grading criteria before work starts. Appearance checks, accessory counts and functional testing have different scopes.
Product checksRelease the next movement
Approve storage, repacking, restocking where applicable, or consolidation. Reconcile the release list before booking onward transport.
