FTID 1, 2, 3:
FTID version 1:
(no changes, only boxing)
I personally used the most for Amazon.DE. As of today it’s recommended to use either Option 2 or Option 3 as they come with a higher success rate.
If you make “no changes” on the label the chances of the seller to finding out you returned an empty package can be very high, especially if they don’t use 3rd party companies for their returns.
Since Option 2 and 3 require you to do some changes on the label, which are very easy to do for everyone, I will no longer describe this option any further as it only comes with disadvantages compared to Option 2 and 3.
FTID version 2:
Remove personal and order related details
This method can be applied on both, prepaid labels you got from the company and your own label. But keep in mind it’s still recommended to go with a
prepaid label if you are able to get one. If you have to create your own label, I suggest buying one from the carrier’s website, which you have to print on your own. So once you have your label, you have to remove all personal/order related details from it, so there is no way for the company to find your order!
FTID version 3:
“Change shipping address”
This method allows you to get the tracking to 100%, without the package being sent to the original destination. This option is for almost all of the shops not required as they do not check your label in detail as explained on the previous page, but if you would like to go the safe path, I’d recommend using option 3. This is basically the same as Option 2, but with one little extra modification - You change the shipping address.
Here is how:
When you buy a label from the carrier’s website, make sure to put the address of the company you are Refunding. So basically where the package should originally be shipped to. If you have a prepaid label already, then there is nothing else to do right now.
Once you have the label, you are going to manually change the shipping address to a different address which is in the same city. This can be anything from a McDonalds to another electronic company.
Make sure they accept the package for sure, otherwise your refund will fail.
A label example and how you are going to change the shipping can be found on the next pages. There are numerous ways of doing so.
It is very important that you change the address near the original shipping address, because every label has a routing code which automatically ships the package to the near location. Once it arrives, the package will be shipped to the address which is noted on the label.
