Canadian startup ReturnBear is looking at the UK ecommerce space, and will be launching their brand here as of 1 July. They use e-commerce and logistics tech to improve the returns process for retailers and customers. The cross-border returns process will now be easier from the US and Canada to the UK.
Sylvia Ng, CEO of ReturnBear commented, “Merchants can easily sell in a hundred countries overnight using global selling platforms. But there is no easy way to get returns back. Our expansion into the UK market is part of our vision to be the first global end-to-end platform for single-day returns.”
Better Returns Processes For Even Better Customer Experiences
In ecommerce, a big issue has been that of returns. The process can either make or break the entire customer experience and journey depending on how swiftly it is carried through. Enter ReturnBear, who brings a solution to make sure this is indeed a smooth process through a network of package-free, label-free drop-off locations that support instant refunds.
“Consumers check for convenient returns before buying, and merchants must meet consumers’ expectations to grow in local markets. ReturnBear provides a simple way to do that.” The company, which started with just two pilot locations in Toronto, now has over 1,000 service points across Canada and the US.
Meghan Victoria, Founder and CEO of Sol Kyst, one of the companies who will be working with ReturnBear in the UK, spoke about the partnership: “The global response to our brand and products has been phenomenal.
“Being an inclusive brand with multiple size offerings, creating an easy exchange and return process has remained a top priority for us. We are really looking forward to enhancing our return offering for our customers in the UK with ReturnBear, knowing it will increase the positive experiences for our customers as well as our business.”
