Manage customer cancellations and returns

Scenario 1: Cancellations by customers

Orders are often canceled before they are shipped in the field of e-commerce, and this may create challenges for sellers in the form of continuous sending and returning products.

To overcome this challenge, the Yemen Products does not link a product from stock to the customer›s order with certainty until after the product arrives at our warehouse, and this gives us flexibility to redistribute products in the event of customers canceling their orders and reduces the logistical costs associated with the movement of sending and returning shipments.

The choice rests with the seller between transferring all unshipped products to customers to the Yemen Products or returning them to the seller by returning to the seller within 48 - 72 hours of receiving the order from the seller.

Scenario 2: Customer returns:

All customer returns (returns received from customers and returns that were not delivered) are returned to the YPC warehouse. For returns from customers, the product is mainly inspected at the time of its receipt at the customer›s place, and a quality check is also performed for the product in the warehouse and for all non-saleable stored products. Each returned product will be labeled upon receipt of that product.

The Yemen Products stores the returned products that are in a “good stock and suitable for sale” in its warehouses to complete future customer orders according to the seller’s preferences on the “Yemen Products website for sellers.”

Upon receipt of the seller›s returns, the seller must double-check the returned products and ensure the rating assigned by the Yemen Products Ratings. If the seller has clear evidence that the rating is incorrect, the seller must dispute the Yemen Products rating on the  Yemen Products Sellers website within 10 days of the time the actual product was delivered.
