Reverse Logistics

Returns Services

One of the primary reasons for returns is simply the customer's choice. In such cases, the best way to maintain customer satisfaction is to accept and process the return. Our team will inspect each returned item according to your instructions to determine whether it can be restocked for resale. We also offer customized solutions – if items are opened, damaged, or otherwise unsuitable for restocking, we will handle recycling, disposal, or return to your suppliers based on your preferences.

How Our Returns Process Works

Return Initiation & Authorization

Customers request returns via your store or our returns portal. You approve or customize eligibility based on customizable rules.

Seamless Product Return

Returns are directed to the nearest HBT warehouse—whether in the U.S., Canada, Japan, or China—to reduce transit time and cost.

Inspection & Triage

Each item is carefully inspected, categorized, and graded according to condition:

1.Like-new–Restocked immediately

2.Minor flaws–Sent for light refurbishment

3.Damaged–Processed per your instructions

Smart Disposition & Recovery

We help you decide the best path for each item:

1.Restock & relist

2.Repackage or refurbish

3.Donate, liquidate, or dispose
