By default, if you pay for an outbound label upon creation, you also pay for any subsequent return label upon creation, too. Subsequently, any carrier whose outbound labels are scan-based also creates scan-based returns. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, while scan-based returns are preferable, they do tend to have stipulations. Whereas prepaid return labels can be cumbersome, but ultimately have very few other stipulations to be aware of. We\u2019ll discuss all that and more! ShippingEasy is here to make your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/support.shippingeasy.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4405557937435-Prepaid-Return-Labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">returns process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as simple as shipping customers their packages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scan-Based Return Labels<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scan-based return labels are the preferred method of return labels. These are labels that are only charged upon use\u2014when a carrier <\/span><b>scans<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them into their system. If you pay a monthly invoice for your shipping labels, then your returns will follow the same billing. Carriers that offer scan-based returns are FedEx and UPS. If you sign up for UPS through ShippingEasy, keep in mind that our integration is prepaid. We will discuss that more later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of Scan-Based Returns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The advantages to scan-based returns largely come down to convenience. Since they are only charged upon use, you can print them out and include them with outbound parcels. Furthermore, the event of a return requires less back and forth with customers; and saving time of course equates to saving money. As it turns out, including a pay-on-use return label is a major incentive for customers when buying from a merchant. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/info.shipstation.com\/hubfs\/ebooks\/Returns%20Ebook\/ShipStation%20-%20Returns%20Ebook.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">78% of consumers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prefer to have a prepaid return shipping label with the return cost deducted from their refund. So, while there are some disadvantages to scan-based returns, their pros can outweigh the cons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disadvantages of Scan-Based Returns<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scan-based returns seem like a good thing, no doubt. And overall, they offer a better experience. However, many of the more affordable shipping options for parcels weighing under about 5 pounds don\u2019t have access to scan-based returns. This makes the convenience of scan-based returns a more expensive option for many smaller businesses\u2014particularly if you sell lightweight items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore,\u00a0 scan-based carriers not only have more expensive initial rates, but they also can add additional surcharges and fees onto your invoice. Frequently, these are things like fuel surcharges and residential surcharges (roughly $3.75 per delivery). One way to look at it is that carriers who invoice are more likely to apply additional charges onto a shipment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepaid Return Labels<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepaid return labels are how USPS and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/ups\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPS from ShippingEasy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offer returns. As with their standard outbound labels, you pay for the label upon creation. While there are a few disadvantages to these, there are also advantages to prepaid returns. Furthermore, ShippingEasy gives you the ability to offer these to your customers with ease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advantages of Prepaid Return Labels<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prepaid return labels may require a bit more work to send to a customer, but they also tend to be more affordable\u2014particularly for lightweight parcels. What you pay upon creation is generally the final amount. Take UPS from ShippingEasy for example. While these labels are prepaid, they also avoid many of the common fees associated with standalone UPS accounts. For instance, residential surcharges are heavily discounted with ShippingEasy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disadvantages of Prepaid Return Labels<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The obvious disadvantage of prepaid return labels is that you pay for them even if you don\u2019t use them. Furthermore, printing prepaid return labels require more action on the customer\u2019s part. If a customer doesn\u2019t have a printer, it may be challenging for them to print a prepaid label out. Luckily there are ways to provide customers with a returns process that they want!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email Customers Return Labels<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common way to authorize and send a customer a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.shippingeasy.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/4407006647067-Prepaid-Return-Shipments-FAQs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">return label<\/a> is to do so through email. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ShippingEasy makes that process straightforward<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by providing you with default return shipment email templates. Additionally, scan-based return labels may be preferable for large retailers, but many small businesses don\u2019t have the order volume to effectively offer scan-based returns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>We\u2019re behind you<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at ShippingEasy, we understand that these are trying times for small business owners across the country and world.
