Return Request and Authorization
Customers can initiate a product return through our WMS or a custom RMA process that works with your marketplace or cart application.
Product Receipt and Inspection
Once the returned goods arrive at our facility, they go through a thorough inspection. This step ensures that each returned item matches the reason stated by the customer, which prevents abuse and identifies potential quality issues.
Condition Assessment and Sorting
Our team categorizes returned merchandise based on condition—resellable, damaged, or defective. We help businesses understand common return reasons and take preventive action by tracking trends in e commerce returns.
Restocking or Disposal Handling
Eligible products are returned to inventory for resale, while unsellable goods are processed according to the retailer’s preferences—recycling, liquidation, or proper disposal. This improves inventory efficiency and minimizes losses.
Refund, Replacement, or Exchange Processing
Customers expect happy returns, and we ensure a smooth resolution by quickly processing refunds, sending replacements, or facilitating exchanges. This step strengthens customer retention and improves brand trust.
Returns Data Analysis and Process Optimization
Every return provides valuable insights. We analyze return rates, identify trends, and offer recommendations to reduce unnecessary e commerce returns. Businesses can minimize costs and enhance efficiency by continuously improving the returns management solution.

River Plate, Inc. started as a small, family-owned trucking company in Southern California in 1992. Back then, we focused solely on transportation, but as our customers’ needs evolved, so did we. They wanted storage, cross-docking, and fulfillment services, so we expanded.
Over the years, we grew into a full-service fulfillment center and started offering pick and pack, kitting, assembly, and inventory management. What began as a logistics company transformed into a trusted fulfillment partner, which supports businesses of all sizes with customized solutions.
Our success comes from hard work, strong relationships, and a commitment to service. Most of our early clients came from word-of-mouth referrals, and that tradition continues today. Whether you need ecommerce fulfillment, warehousing, or returns management, we handle it all with precision and care.
