Returned products sit in unopened boxes for weeks, stock counts go stale, and inventory that could be resold gets written off by default. A dedicated returns workflow changes that equation.
Sellable items are graded, cleaned, re-bagged, and back in available stock within 24 to 48 hours of dock arrival.
You set the exact criteria: Restock, Refurbish, Liquidate, Donate, or Destroy. Every unit follows your SOP.
Track return reasons by SKU (fit, damaged in transit, defective) so you can fix product and sizing issues at the source.
A structured 5-step return pipeline that turns incoming packages into restored inventory.
Package arrives, tracking barcode is scanned, and return is matched to the original customer order in our WMS.
Dock scan verificationOur team opens the package, inspects item condition, tags discrepancies, and logs high-res photos if damaged.
Condition gradingItems meeting your grade-A criteria are re-folded, re-bagged with fresh barcode labels, and returned to active stock.
Live in inventoryNon-sellable items are sorted for liquidation, customer return, parts harvesting, recycling, or certified destruction.
SOP-driven routingReturn dispositions sync with your Shopify or eCommerce platform to trigger automatic refunds or store credit.
24-48h turnaroundMost 3PLs treat returns as an annoying afterthought handled by general packers in their spare time. At Palletized, our dedicated Second Chance Team specializes exclusively in inspection, grading, repackaging, and refurbishment.
They know how to spot subtle defects, steam-clean garments, re-box electronics, and restore multi-piece bundles so you capture maximum resale value on every returned SKU.

Answers to the questions brands ask most often about our reverse logistics operations.
How fast are returned items inspected and restocked?
Standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours from arrival at our Miami facility. Sellable units are updated in inventory immediately upon grading.
Can you integrate with our existing returns portal like Loop or Happy Returns?
Yes. We connect directly with Loop, Happy Returns, Returnly, and custom Shopify apps so RMA statuses sync automatically.
What happens to items that cannot be resold?
We follow your pre-set disposition rules: items can be consolidated for bulk return to your HQ, held for liquidation buyers, donated to charity, or securely destroyed with certificate of disposal.
Do you handle customer service or return label generation?
We handle the physical reverse logistics and warehouse processing. Return labels are generated through your eCommerce store or returns portal integration.
Every return inspected, restocked when sellable, reported back to you.
