A new way to handle e-returns is growing in Lillian Vernon`s laboratory
Description: We save costs through the process of aggregating items rather than sending them back one two-pound package at a time, the Newgistics spokeswoman says. And USF Processors are experts at this. They can handle perhaps 100 items per staff hour versus many retailers we talk to who can handle about 10 items per hour. There are a lot of efficiencies built into the system, so we can offer service at a lower unit cost to handle the items. The customer, meanwhile, gets a neighborhood drop-off point, cheaper return shipping rates, and rapid credit for the return.
