How are returns used for future orders?

Returns happen for various reasons. If you receive the same order again, you can reship the returned item instead of creating a new one. This saves time and reduces production costs.

How to Re-Ship Returned Orders

Method 1:

  • Log in to your Qikink Dashboard and go to the Returns Tab.
  • View the list of returned orders.
  • Select “No” in the Reshipped section and click on the order you want to ship.
  • Click “Create Order” A pop-up box will appear.
  • Enter the order details and click “Save Order” Your order is now successfully placed from the returns, with the printing type marked as “Screen Print Products“.

Method 2:

  • Create an order using manual methods like Create Order or Store Order.
  • If the returned order matches with it, the system automatically fetches it from returns and places it as a new order.

Reshipping Cost

  • Handling Cost: ₹20 + 18% GST per product for 100 days.
  • Shipping Cost: As per the chosen mode.

Handling Returned Orders

1. Storage Duration

Returned orders are kept in the warehouse for 100 days from the return date.

2. Re-ship Options

During this 100-day period, you can choose to:

  • Re-ship the order to a new address.
  • Re-ship it to your own address.

3. After 100 Days

If no action is taken within 100 days, the order is no longer available for re-shipping and gets discarded.

Handling Damaged, Defective, or Lost Items

1. Damaged or Defective Products

Despite quality checks, products may get damaged in transit due to courier mishandling. To request a replacement for misprinted, damaged, or defective items:

  • Submit your request within 7 days of delivery.
  • Provide unboxing videos, photos of the damaged product, and the original packaging.
  • Requests after 7 days will incur reprinting charges.

2. Exchanges or Returns for Wrong Sizes

If your customer ordered the wrong size or wants to return a product without any defects, this has to be handled at your expense by placing a new order.

3. Lost in Transit

For items lost during shipping, Qikink issues a refund once the shipping status confirms the item is lost.

4. Color Matching in DTG Printing

We use world-class digital printers with OEKO-TEX ECO PASSPORT-certified inks. The colors may not always match the provided designs exactly and could slightly differ. It’s recommended that you order test swatches before finalizing your design.

5. Careful Unboxing

Advise customers to unbox packages carefully. If damaged by scissors or sharp objects, refunds or replacements aren’t possible unless:

  • Unpacking videos are provided.
  • Images of the courier cover are sent.

6. Package Damage at Delivery

If the package appears damaged upon receipt, note the damage in the courier’s delivery remarks. This helps in claiming a refund from the courier service.

Handling Size Discrepancies

1. Size Discrepancies

For size issues, provide product images and size measurements to assist in checking with the production team.

2. Exchanges or Returns for Wrong Sizes

If your customer ordered the wrong size or wants to return a product without any defects, this has to be handled at your expense by placing a new order.
