15. Merchant Issues: Shipping and Returns
Returns & Exchanges
- In the case that there is a return or exchange
from a customer, GreenDeals will work with the
merchant to make sure the return & exchange
occurs promptly. It’s the responsibility of the
merchant to work with customers on all returns
and exchanges.
- Merchants can list products as “final sale” with no
returns or exchanges allowed. This information
will be listed on product details.
Shipping
- All orders should be shipped within 3-5 days from
order date.
- Merchants are strongly urged to add tracking
numbers to all orders and update these in the
vendor reporting
- Exceptions: Products “made on order” may take
longer to ship and we need to list these details on
product descriptions and alert customers via
email following purchases.
