Our company was going to turn on branded automated returns portal but the one and only limitation is the most important to all retailers. Companies are limited to one return service option for ALL returns. This means you have to choose what could be your heaviest return and the service required. For us, that is Priority Mail. But we receive a lot of return requests for items weighing under 1lb., which would qualify for First Class Mail. If we used Shipstation's return portal, we would lose a ton of money in shipping costs because everything would ship back to us using Priority Mail. I would say about 75% of our returns would qualify as First Class. The average difference in services is around $4. We process approx. 2,200 returns/exchanges per year. That would be approx. 1,650 returns we are overpaying in service. Or in our case, $6,600 in additional costs.
Not sure why this isn't a feature, but all automated returns should be calculated by weight of what is being returned. Seems like a pretty simple look up script would solve this.
Am I missing something?
