Overview - Optimizing Oversized Product Returns for E-commerce Efficiency

Introduction: In the world of e-commerce, handling oversized product returns can be a logistical nightmare. But with the right system in place, directing these bulky items to a warehouse equipped with the necessary tools—like a forklift—can transform a challenge into a seamless operation.

Challenges: Without proper routing, oversized returns end up at ill-equipped facilities, causing logistical headaches and additional costs.

Common Mistakes: Store owners often overlook the importance of specialized return locations, leading to inefficiencies and increased labor to relocate heavy items.

Solution: Implementing a smart return system that automatically directs heavy or oversized products to a designated facility with the right equipment and space.
