Parcels that come back, handled at the scanner
Refused deliveries and undeliverable parcels arrive at your door as a pile of boxes with courier labels on them. Scan the label, easySales identifies the order behind it, records the parcel as back in your hands, and triggers whatever should happen next.
- Scan the courier label — no order number to look up
- Works with the barcode formats couriers actually print
- Every scan can trigger an automation flow
HOW IT WORKS
Three seconds per box
The label on the parcel is the only input.
Scan the courier label
Point your hand scanner at the AWB barcode on the returning parcel. No typing, no searching, no cross-referencing a courier report against your order list.
easySales finds the order
The scanned code is resolved to the order through a series of matching rules that account for how each courier formats and prefixes its barcodes.
The parcel is recorded back
The shipment is marked as returned to you and an event fires, so your automation flows can restock, notify, refund or route the order onward.
RETURNED PARCELS
The pile by the door, cleared properly
Refused parcels are an operational problem before they are a finance problem.
Barcode matching that copes with real courier labels
Couriers append parcel suffixes, prefix their codes with stray characters, and print a value that does not exactly match what their API returned. The scan resolves through several matching strategies — including normalising the quirks specific carriers add — so a genuine parcel is found rather than rejected.
Every scan can start a flow
Recording the parcel is the beginning, not the end. Because the scan fires an event, an automation flow can put the stock back on the shelf, apply a custom status, notify the customer, or move the order into your refund queue — without anybody remembering to do it.
Separate from a customer return request
A buyer asking to send something back and a courier bringing an undelivered parcel to your door are different problems. Return-to-sender is the warehouse workflow for the second one: it operates on the original order and its shipment, so your returns queue does not fill up with parcels nobody requested to return.
Recover the money as well as the box
A refused cash-on-delivery parcel is revenue that never arrived. Once the parcel is back and the order is flagged, the invoice can be storno'd and the payout reconciliation stops expecting money that is not coming.
