In recent years, the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce has made the US market an important position
for Chinese sellers to deploy. According to data released by eMarketer, the total retail sales of US e-commerce in
2024 has exceeded 1.3 trillion US dollars, of which Amazon still occupies a dominant position, and platforms such as
Temu, SHEIN, and TikTok Shop have risen strongly. With this comes the growing demand for returns and after-sales
pressure.
Many platforms stipulate that sellers must provide a local return address in the United States to improve consumer
satisfaction and reduce disputes and refund risks. But for most cross-border sellers operating in China, it is not easy to
build a truly stable US return channel.
So, which US overseas warehouses can provide return addresses? Is there a one-stop service that can provide both
addresses and handle returned goods?
For sellers operating platforms such as Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Temu, SHEIN, etc., providing a local return address
in the United States is not only to meet the after-sales expectations of buyers, but more often to meet the compliance
requirements of the platform.
Especially in Amazon FBA or self-delivery mode, once the local return address cannot be provided, the platform will often
automatically refund or even deduct points, which will have a great impact on the health of the seller's account.
In addition, the return rate of American consumers is relatively high, especially in fashion, 3C accessories, beauty and personal
care products, sometimes as high as 20%-30%. This also means that if the return problem is not handled in time, it is easy to
cause bad reviews or account suspension.
Can the US overseas warehouse provide a return address?
The answer is yes. Nowadays, there are many third-party logistics service providers on the market that provide local return
addresses + return processing services in the United States. However, not all service providers have the platform capabilities
of clear processing procedures, fast response speed, and full service coverage.
At this time, it is necessary to choose professional service providers who have both self-operated warehousing capabilities
and can provide a variety of return shipping solutions. Among them, U-Speed, a cross-border logistics brand from Hong Kong,
China, is one of the representatives that has been trusted by cross-border e-commerce sellers in recent years.
