Depending upon where you are located; all locations do not follow any standard protocol relative to dumping of returned merch According to what I read, there's no standard company-wide protocol as to where it ends up Usually easiest & cheapest method possible according to facility manager decision🙄
aw nuts, i was hoping that what they're doing around here was company policy but i guess they leave it to the DCs
There are also indie entities which buy bulk lots of returned larger ticket & bulky/heavy items from Amazon & other major merchant chains & resell Usually Local (so it can be picked up by both the reseller & their purchaser) & Not Online
