Use cases

  • International Returns are Final Sale

    ReturnBear provides discounted domestic shipping labels to send returns our local hubs, followed by trade-compliant cross-border consolidations of all of your returns back to Ryder on a regular cadence. Protect your margins and delight your customers by saying goodbye to costly express international shipping labels to send back a single return.

  • "Email Us" to Start An International Return

    Unburden your customer service team by automating your international return process. Combining our free return portal software with our low-cost shipping labels lowers ticket counts and delights your customers to have a friction-free experience.

  • Slow International Sales Growth

    Did you know one in four shoppers avoid buying from international retailers due to concerns around returns? Put their mind at ease with ReturnBear by building better return policies and processes to ensure your cart conversion rates don't suffer.

  • Fraud from Refunding Before Receiving the Return

    With ReturnBear's in-country return hubs and return points, we verify returns within 72 hours or less (within minutes at return points), so not only does your customer get their refund, store credit, or exchange faster but brands mitigate fraud from refunding at parcel scan or return initiation.

  • Returned Inventory Sitting Instead of Selling

    Extend your full-price selling season by forward-fulling processed returns in the country the return was received in. ReturnBear can grade, repack, and resell Grade A inventory to the next closest customer which saves you on shipping costs and transit time. Our return hubs become your new localized distribution centers in key markets like the UK and Australia.

  • Focus On Sustainability

    ReturnBear’s localized return network cuts transportation emissions by up to 99%—amplifying your efforts to reduce waste, improve transparency, and operate more sustainably.
