General

What is ReturnRev? ▾
ReturnRev is a UK-based returns and fulfilment partner for ecommerce brands selling into the UK, whether you're based in the UK or shipping in from overseas. We handle receiving, AI + human inspection and grading, fraud detection, and outbound pick, pack, and storage, all through one merchant portal.
Where is ReturnRev's warehouse based? ▾
Our warehouse is based in Bedfordshire. It's positioned to serve UK-wide delivery and return volumes without the cost or delay of holding stock overseas.
Who is ReturnRev built for? ▾
Primarily DTC and Shopify brands selling into the UK, whether that's a UK-based brand or an international brand shipping into the UK market. It works especially well for fashion, footwear, and apparel brands, where return volume and grading accuracy matter most.

AI inspection & fraud detection

How does the AI grading actually work? ▾
Every return is inspected by Risen AI, our AI + human inspection system. Each item gets three photos (front, back, and label), and the AI compares them against your original product listing photos to assign a condition grade of A, B, or C. A member of our warehouse team verifies every single grade before it's finalised, so you get AI speed with human accuracy.
Is every return inspected, or just a sample? ▾
Every single return, not a sample and not spot-checked. That's a deliberate difference from most UK 3PLs, where inspection, if it happens at all, tends to be manual and inconsistent.
How does ReturnRev catch return fraud and wardrobing? ▾
Because every return is photographed and graded against the original listing, mismatches show up automatically. Wrong items, worn or used goods, and substitutions are flagged before a refund goes out, rather than discovered after the money's already left.
How quickly will I see the inspection results? ▾
Within 24 hours of the item arriving at our warehouse, visible directly in your merchant portal in real time, not in a weekly batch report.

Pricing & contract

How much does ReturnRev cost? ▾
Returns processing is £2.50 per return, including AI + human inspection, fraud detection, and photos, with no separate inspection fee. Pick and pack starts from £1.10 per order, and pallet storage is £4.50 per week.
Is there a contract or a minimum volume? ▾
No. There's no minimum order or return volume, no monthly minimum invoice, and no long-term contract. It's 30 days' notice to leave, at any time.
Are there any hidden or setup fees? ▾
No setup fee, and no charge on top of the headline rate for inspection, photos, or fraud detection. They're built into the per-return price rather than billed separately.

Integration & fulfilment

Does ReturnRev integrate with Shopify? ▾
Yes. Products are uploaded via CSV from Shopify, Amazon, or WooCommerce, and our AI uses your existing listing photos as the reference point for grading returned items.
Does ReturnRev handle outbound fulfilment as well as returns? ▾
Yes, both from one warehouse, one team, and one portal: storage, pick and pack, and shipping, alongside returns receipt and inspection. Most 3PLs make you choose one or the other; ReturnRev doesn't.
What happens to a returned item after it's graded? ▾
Grade A stock goes straight back into your sellable fulfilment inventory through the same portal, so it can go straight into a new order rather than sitting in a separate returns pile.
How long does onboarding take? ▾
Typically a few days once your product catalogue and Shopify, Amazon, or WooCommerce connection are set up. A dedicated day-to-day contact is introduced as part of onboarding.
