Offering redress options

Below are examples of the redress options you can offer customers.

1. The customer returns the item and the full purchase price is refunded.
   You have to register the return in your seller dashboard for this. The customer cannot do this themselves. Go to receiving a return without return notification.Is it a Plaza or VvB order? Then you must accept your own return in SDD. Go to handling a return notification.Is it an LvB order? Then we will accept the return in the fulfilment center as you would expect from us.After registering and accepting the return, customer refunds go automatically through our systems.
2. You refund the full purchase price, but the customer keeps the item.
   For this too, you must register the return in SDD, but without item selection. Please note that only Plaza and VvB orders can be registered in this way. For LvB, you need to contact partner service to start the correct process.After registering and accepting this procedure, customer refunds will automatically run through our systems.
3. Offering a replacement item
   A replacement item can be offered by using the ‘replace item’ procedure in the SDD. For this, see option 2 of handling a return notification. Please note that shipping a new item is at your own expense.
