How it works

A streamlined process for every return.

From your customer's door back to saleable stock — handled with speed, care and full transparency.

Customer ships return

Your customer sends the item back using your returns process. Reilly's receives the consignment at our Midlands fulfilment centre and logs it into DespatchLab immediately upon arrival.

Quality inspection

Our expert warehouse team inspects every returned item against your specific grading criteria — checking condition, completeness and resaleability so no decisions are made without your standards.

Restock or dispose

Viable items are repackaged and reinstated to your active inventory immediately — so you can resell faster. Damaged or unsellable goods are recycled or disposed of according to your brand guidelines.

Full visibility

Every step is logged in real time via DespatchLab. You can see the status of every return — received, inspected, restocked or disposed — with a single click, from any device.

Why outsource returns

How better returns management supports your growth

Outsourcing your returns to Reilly's delivers immediate operational benefits — turning a complex burden into a predictable, controlled cost.

Boost customer satisfaction

We process returns immediately, enabling fast refunds and exchanges. A seamless experience builds trust and encourages repeat purchases — protecting your hard-earned reviews.

Drive cost-effectiveness

Handling returns in-house drains warehouse space and team time. Our specialist team manages the process efficiently, turning complexity into a controlled monthly cost.

Recover stock value faster

Viable returned items are reinstated to your active inventory rapidly — getting products back on sale sooner and preventing lost revenue from sitting returns.

Personalised local support

Based in the Midlands, our team works directly with you — not an anonymous call centre. Your returned goods are handled with the care and consistency your brand deserves.
