Without return protocols you lose money on damage
Four most common problems for companies without a return documentation system.
No equipment condition documentation
Equipment comes back damaged but you have no proof of its condition at checkout. It's your word against theirs - impossible to prove who caused the damage.
Customer disputes over damage
The customer claims the damage was pre-existing. Without photos and a protocol you have no evidence. You lose money or the customer.
No condition documentation at return
You don't document equipment condition at return. When damage shows up you have no evidence - every bit of damage is a guessing game.
Manual damage fee calculation
You estimate damage costs from memory. With no damage price list, fees are charged inconsistently and customers are unhappy.
