With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, more and more Chinese sellers are selling goods to overseas markets, and the platform has also gone from single to multiple, covering Amazon, eBay, Temu, SHEIN, TikTok Shop, AliExpress and other mainstream positions. At the same time, the after-sales link of "returns" has been put on the agenda more and more frequently by sellers.

Compared with domestic e-commerce returns, cross-border returns are more difficult to handle, the process is more complicated, and the cost is more sensitive. If there is no professional return partner, a return may not only be an order loss, but also bring a chain reaction in brand image, inventory management and operational efficiency.

So, as a service provider who has been deeply involved in the field of cross-border returns for many years, what problems can U-Speed return service solve for sellers? What key return processing services does it provide? This article will explain them one by one.

Why must cross-border e-commerce attach importance to return processing?

In mature e-commerce markets such as Europe and the United States, consumers' return habits have become the norm. Taking the United States as an example, the average return rate of online shopping is 15%-30%, and the return rate of clothing, home furnishings, and 3C categories is as high as 35% or more. The return rate in the European market is also not low, and driven by platform mechanisms and laws and regulations, the return time limit and refund response speed are strictly restricted.

For cross-border sellers, the uncertainty of return processing is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Lack of overseas local return addresses makes returns inconvenient;

It is unclear whether the returned items are intact, making it difficult to decide whether to resell them;

Unable to quickly change labels and repackage, affecting inventory reuse;

A large number of returned items are piled up overseas, and storage costs are high;

Return logistics is expensive, slow, and unsecured, and the cost of returning to China is high;

The platform assesses the return response speed, which affects the store rating and ranking.

Therefore, a return service system with wide coverage, fast response, and professional operation is the "basic plate" for cross-border sellers to win the after-sales link.
