Standard return

We offer two different return methods.
  • Drop Off: The customer brings the packaged item to a local collection point
  • Pick Up: The carrier comes to your end customer’s address to collect the package. (This option is available for both parcel and pallet returns)

Drop Off is the default return method. Pick Up is only available if a valid reason is provided. (Please note: Except Romania and Denmark)

If your end customer wants to choose a date for Pick Up, please allow a time frame of 48 - 72 hours between your reply and the pick up date. For some carriers, it is not possible to choose a date.

How to Request a Return

dropshippingXL customer services no longer handle return request for United States orders placed since 01-12-2023.

Step 1

Check the return request and expected solution from your end customer are valid in applicable solutions. If not, please deny your end customer’s request.

NOTE:

  • For Australia, Norway and The United States (orders are placed before 01-12-2023), some fees are applicable for the reason Not as Expected as described in Return Costs. Make sure your end customer is aware of this.
  • Step 2

    Send your return request to dropshippingXL customer services and include:

    • Order number
    • Reason for return
    • Expected solution: Full replacement / Full refund
    • SKU and quantity of items
    • Drop Off or Pick Up
      • If available, drop off will be used by default.
      • If customer requests Pick Up, please include collection address and pick up date (if chosen by your end customer)

    Step 3

    dropshippingXL will confirm the return instructions. If applicable, return costs will also be confirmed.

    Step 4

    Provide return instructions to your end customer and ask them to confirm when the return is done.

    Step 5

    Check that the return label is active and inform dropshippingXL customer services.

    • If not active: request that your end customer provide the receipt for each package and send them to our customer services.

    Step 6

    dropshippingXL will process a refund or a replacement item for your end customer.

    If a customer returns a product without informing you or insists on using their own carrier, we ask you to provide us with the following information:

    • Order number
    • Returned SKU
    • Reason for return
    • Size, weight, and number of packages (if not returned in the original packaging)
    • A clear copy of the return receipt, showing weight and number of returned packages and the vidaXL warehouse address
    • Tracking number and carrier name

    It will take longer to process returns that are sent directly from a customer as we have to wait until it arrives back at the warehouse.

    Important:

    • dropshippingXL will not be responsible in case of loss or additional returns costs
    • Please ensure the weight or the number of packages you wish to return has the same weight or number as the original order you received
    • You must provide return labels to vidaXL customer services before the parcels arrive at our warehouse. Failure to provide return labels before delivery at our warehouse may mean we are unable to locate and check the product into our warehouse, and therefore unable to process a return.

    Packaging

    The items must be returned in its original state and packaging.

    If the order needs to be repackaged, the size and weight of the new packaging must be similar to the original vidaXL packaging and not exceed the carrier’s restrictions.

    You must also inform customer services of the following:

    • The number of boxes that your end customer will use
    • The size and weight of each box

    dropshippingXL will not be responsible for any additional shipping costs.

    Return costs

    Returns are free of charge for all given reasons, except from Australia, Norway and The United States.

    • Australia
      • If the return reason is “Not As Expected”, the original shipping and return costs are deducted from the refund (with exceptions for returns from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane metro areas). You will be informed of the total amount.
    • Norway
      • If the return reason is “Not As Expected”, a return fee of 300NOK will be deducted from the refund.
    • The United States
