With the continuous development of the Australian e-commerce market, more and more Chinese sellers have begun to dig deep into Amazon Australia. With its geographical advantages, high per capita consumption level and gradually mature online shopping habits, the Australian FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) business has rapidly heated up in the past two years.

But while sellers are busy shipping and seizing the market, another thing is quietly becoming a "hidden danger": how to deal with returns? How to change the label?

Especially on the Amazon platform, although FBA returns are assisted by the platform, for products that need to be "re-stocked" or "re-sold", sellers must still find professional third-party service providers to assist. Otherwise, not only will the goods be piled up and funds occupied, but it may also affect the performance of the account.

So, how to operate the Australian FBA return and label change? Is there a reliable service provider that can handle it? Today, I will take you to learn more about it, and by the way, introduce a cross-border seller's trusted partner-U-Speed Australian return service.

Why must Australian FBA returns pay attention to "label change processing"?

In the Amazon FBA system, once the product is returned, the platform will not actively help you to change the label, check the status, and will not repackage and put it on the shelf directly. For the following types of returns, sellers must take the initiative:

Products with damaged labels, scanning errors, and failed warehousing;

Products that the buyer opened the package but did not use, but the appearance affects the resale;

Returned items that need to be re-identified after multiple SKUs are mixed;

Scenarios where the platform requires re-labeling and re-warehousing.

What's more difficult is that Australian FBA currently does not have a highly automated return process like the US site. A large amount of processing work requires sellers to connect with local service providers or return the products to China, which is time-consuming and costly.

Therefore, completing the return reception, quality inspection, relabeling, and re-shelfing in Australia has become the most realistic and efficient solution.

Common operation process: how to operate the Australian FBA return and label change? 

Standardized FBA return label change processing is roughly divided into the following steps:

1. Obtain return product information

Export return order data from Amazon backend, including SKU, quantity, return reason, status and other information. Some platforms also provide API access methods to support automatic synchronization of returns.

2. Return products to local warehouses in Australia

If the seller sets a third-party return address, the buyer or Amazon will send the return items to this address. At this time, you need a service provider that can provide an Australian return warehouse address and has the ability to sign for returns.

3. Perform unpacking quality inspection and status confirmation

After the returned goods enter the warehouse, they need to complete quality inspection links such as unpacking, appearance inspection, packaging integrity inspection, and label availability judgment. This process determines whether the product can be put back on the shelf or must be returned to the country/destroyed.

4. Label replacement & repackaging

For products that are in good condition but have damaged labels or incorrect SKUs, it is necessary to replace the FNSKU label, relabel, and update the box label. Some platforms also require the use of specific packaging materials, which need to be replaced together.

5. Re-warehouse or local transfer

After completing the relabeling process, the seller can choose to re-warehouse the goods into the FBA warehouse, or send them to other platform warehouses or third-party overseas warehouses for resale or clearance.

The whole process seems simple, but it actually requires extremely high storage capacity, quality inspection standards, familiarity with platform rules, and system docking capabilities. Without professional support, sellers can easily fall into problems such as unclear processes, low efficiency, and high costs.
