Customer returned an unwanted/no longer required order to us.
the returned item was the (delicate) retail packaged item with a T48 shipping label stuck on it,
no outer shipping carton or protective packaging.
and it obviously arrived back to us damaged/squashed/unfit for resale
the customer said they were told that the store staff would package and label the return for them
and has sent us the supporting information from the amazon shopping app.
which at the top does say that - but then has conflicting information below.
can someone get this urgently fixed - it would explain why we and other sellers have an increased in unpackaged returns.
Customer was not refunded on first scan - so we cant make a safe-t claim unless amazon issue the refund.
if we send the refund then we cannot claim.
@Julia_Amazon @Winston_Amazon @Ezra_Amazon
can someone take a look at this for us.
(I have opened a seller support case on case id 9927201012 which has the customer's order number in it)
This looks like n FBA return, not FBM. Maybe the customer is trying to deceive you?
(43 items in their basket!!! Wow)
This is common for FBA returns however it's a flawed system as only a proportion of post offices (my guess is that it is a small proportion) can accept unpackaged returns.
Similarly for evri. Last time I took an FBA return to my local Tesco (evri parcelshop), they would not accept it unpackaged even though I chose the "no box or label" needed)
quick update
given some of these following responses from seller support

We can assist with errors in the PC platform; we are unable to investigation any anomaly in the application since this is not app support.

Otherwise told to contact the carrier with regard to damaged items. - But it wouldnt be damaged if Amazon hadnt given the customer incorrect return instructions.
