We take pictures of all returns straight away before processing them...shipping boxes, labels, item in the box, etc. because such a high % of returns involve some sort of abuse/fraud/consumer error. It saves time instead of having to retrieve everything once you realize that the customer sent back the wrong item or a used item.

The most positive thing we did, in all honesty, was sign up for FBA about ten years ago. (Amazon actually called us around 1998 to sign up as a 3P seller but they only allowed book rates for shipping and we don't do books.) . But, our employees can now work on making things and designing things and not have to screw around with the post office and returns. FBA handles everything. It's not cheap- our CPA firm thinks we're crazy- but when you have people on payroll JUST for picking and packing USPS orders, FBA isn't that bad a deal. But we're well oiled and nimble against our competition. Overnight we can have a brand new product designed, manufactured, labeled , UPC coded IF GS-1 is operating, listed and ready for UPS to pick up in the morning.

I go on vacation. Last minute orders are too often desperate people who have not read the product description.
Now that Amazon appears to be keeping 15% on returns, I have increased my efforts to avoid returns. Going on vacation does that.
I look at eBay sales.
I contact the customer, remind them that lying is a sin, and ask them if it really arrived late.

My account has been deactivated, but I still have 900 inventory. I can't remove it, and I can't create a removal order.

How about Amazon realizing that December 25 is a HOLIDAY and it is IMPOSSIBLE to confirm and ship on that day?
