[Shipper] Returns: Arranging Return Pickup from the Customer

A return was approved on my delivered Cairo order — do I handle pickup?

In most cases, the assigned shipper arranges return pickup from the customer's address. Open the order in Orders to see return status and pickup details.

Document the condition of returned furniture with photos at pickup. These photos are essential if a quality dispute arises about whether damage happened during delivery or after.

Return shipping costs are allocated between vendor, shipper, Referral, and Franchise based on who is responsible. Your portion is adjusted in payroll after the return closes.

Coordinate with the vendor's workshop for redelivery or disposal instructions if the return is routed back to a Damietta or Giza hub.

[Franchise Operator] Returns: Reviewing Return Cost Allocation in Your Territory

How do I review and decide return cost allocation for a disputed Alexandria order?

When a return dispute escalates beyond the Referral Partner, you review evidence from the vendor, shipper, and customer. Open the order in Orders and read all notes and photos.

Assign cost shares based on responsibility — listing inaccuracy falls on the vendor and possibly Referral if they approved a flawed listing. Transport damage falls primarily on the shipper.

Your decision adjusts payroll records for vendor dues, Referral commission, Franchise commission, and shipper fees. All parties receive notification.

Fair and fast decisions protect territory reputation. Delayed return resolution hurts repeat buyers in coastal governorates.

[Referral Partner] Returns: Understanding Your Share of Return Costs

Why was part of a return cost deducted from my referral balance?

Easy Furniture splits return costs among everyone involved in the order — vendor, shipping company, Referral Partner, and Franchise Operator — depending on who caused the problem.

If the listing was inaccurate and you approved it, you may share responsibility with the vendor. If delivery damage occurred, the shipper bears more of the cost.

Review the payroll adjustment linked to the returned order. It shows how much was deducted and which party was assigned each portion.

If you disagree with the allocation, contact your Franchise Operator with evidence — such as approval notes showing you flagged a concern before accepting the listing.

[Referral Partner] Returns: Coordinating Returns for Your Downline Vendors

A customer opened a return on my vendor's Cairo order — how do I help coordinate?

You receive an email when a return is initiated on any order in your downline. Open Orders to see the return reason and current status.

Contact the vendor to confirm whether the product matches the approved listing. Ask for their packing and workshop photos if the customer claims damage or wrong specifications.

The shipping company usually arranges return pickup. Make sure the vendor keeps the item ready and labeled with the order number.

Return costs are shared between vendor, shipper, Referral, and Franchise based on responsibility. Your Franchise Operator makes the final allocation decision on disputed cases.

[Vendor] Returns: How the Return Process Works for Your Orders

A customer wants to return a sofa from my Cairo showroom order — what happens next?

When a return is approved, you receive a notification by email. Open Orders to see the return status and any notes from the customer about the reason — such as wrong color or damage during delivery.

Easy Furniture allocates return costs between the vendor, shipping company, referral partner, and franchise operator based on who is responsible. If the item arrived damaged, the shipper may share the cost. If the product did not match the listing, the vendor bears more.

The shipping company typically handles pickup of the returned furniture. Keep the item in the same condition until collection.

Your earnings for that order are adjusted in the payroll record. If the 14-day withdrawal period had not passed, the pending amount is reduced automatically.

[Vendor] Returns: Disputing Return Costs and Quality Claims

I disagree with who pays for a return — the customer damaged the item after delivery. How do I dispute this?

Gather evidence before the return is finalized: delivery photos from the shipper, your workshop packing photos, and any customer messages in the order notes.

Contact your Referral Partner with the order number and explain why you believe the return cost should not fall on your Damietta workshop. They can escalate to the Franchise Operator for a territory-level review.

Easy Furniture reviews quality disputes based on listing accuracy, delivery condition at handover, and customer reports. If the product matched the approved listing and damage happened after delivery, the cost allocation may shift away from you.

Do not refuse pickup if the return is already approved — continue cooperating while the dispute is reviewed. Refusing pickup can affect your vendor rating and future order visibility.
