Photo, replacement speed, and who files the claim. The customer should not file UPS for you.

Same SKU different variant, or any in-stock item. Price the delta. State who pays the second label.

Many brands do not take them. Say so at checkout, not after the customer paid $40 to ship back.

Discounted is not the same as final sale. If you blur them, the agent will too.

The recipient does not have the order email. Give the agent a gift-return path that does not dox the buyer.

Match your own sale for 7 days, or never. Do not match random coupon sites.

Length, what is excluded, and the photo you need. Keep it off the 30-day returns page.

Charge now vs charge on ship, slip dates, and cancel rights. The checkout copy is the contract.

Legal in some markets, optional in others. Do not copy a US blog post onto a DE store.

Who pays the second label: merchant typo, customer typo, or autocomplete. Decide with the address history.

One replacement per address per year, photo required, or never. Pick it before BFCM.

Replace first or wait for the carrier. Publish the day mark so the agent does not negotiate.
