The Parcel Returns Process

Parcelhub's consumer returns process is designed to be simple, efficient, and transparent for both businesses and their customers. Here's how it works:

  1. Initiating the Return: The customer initiates a return request through the user-friendly, online returns portal.
  2. Carrier Network: Parcels are dropped off at the nearest international drop-off point.
  3. Hub Network: Parcels are routed through our international hubs for sorting and processing.
  4. Customs Clearance: Shipments are handled automatically using product details and outbound shipment data.
  5. UK Final Mile Delivery: Once cleared, packages are delivered by a final mile carrier to customer's preferred returns location.
