How to Return Dropshipping Orders to CJ?
Out of some reasons, you might need to deal with the return requests from your customers. In this case, you would need to learn CJ's Refund Resend and Return Policy before dealing with the return requests. Kindly note that you have to open a dispute for the order first. Besides, we highly recommend you contact your agent first before sending the products to us to prevent any unnecessary errors. Here are the general steps of returning products: 1. Go to Orders > Disputes > Return; 2. Setting > Fill in a store link and upload a store image; 3. Send the return link to your customer; 4. Order Number and Email are requisite. *Note on Low-Value Items Considering the manual labor costs in overseas warehouses are extremely high, for returns of low-value items to overseas warehouses, here are some information and recommended actions for your reference. 1. For low-value products (e.g. unit cost < $10): - If the item has been used or opened, it’s likely not eligible for resale; - Especially for clothing and products with delicate packaging, returns are rarely viable for restocking; - The cost of labor for inspection and repackaging can easily exceed the product value. 2. Recommended actions - Encourage the buyer to keep the product and refund part of the price. - Or, offer to resend the product if the buyer is willing to cover the shipping cost. If the buyer insists on a return, you may create a shipping label and allow them to return the product to a CJ warehouse. * Note on Return for High-Value Items If you want to return a high-value product and restock it for resale, please note: - You’ll need to create a shipping label for the buyer or negotiate who covers return shipping. - After arriving at the warehouse, inspection and restocking services may incur extra charges. Please contact your agent for exact cost details. Here are the detailed steps of returning products: 1. Go to Disputes in Orders and click the "Return" button on the top right corner. 2. Click "Setting". Fill in a store link and upload a store image. In this way, the URL will be for your customer only. Please make sure that you have well-authorized stores on CJ, otherwise you're unable to get the Return Link. 3. Send the Return Link to your customer and let him/her fill in the form. Then you can contact your agent to deal with it for you. 4. Please note that the Order Number and the Email are requisite. Reminder: a. We do not recommend returning products to our warehouses, because the international shipping cost is high and usually, it takes at least 3 months to arrive at CJ China Warehouse. Most of them are liable to be damaged or lost on the way. b. If the products have to be returned, please return them within 30 days after signing. c. You have to open a dispute for the order and choose the refund type as "Order Returned". d. According to the China Customs Import Guide, goods valued over 50 RMB will be taxed. Please note that any costs incurred due to returns will be your responsibility. e. Import customs clearance process according to China Customs and China Post Regulations: - Customs requires a service fee of 30 RMB. - After the service fee is paid, we can check the specific tax amount using the return tracking number. The parcel will proceed with customs clearance once the customer agrees to pay the tax. *Even after paying the service fee and tax, there’s still a chance that clearance might fail. Kindly note that CJ cannot be held responsible for any losses caused by clearance failure. After completing the above steps, all we need to do is wait for the delivery. To avoid additional time or extra shipping costs, we suggest you contact your agent first. -

What to do if My Order is Resent to the Sender?
During international transportation, there are many unpredictable risks. And sometimes, you may feel confused when you check the logistics information, only to find your order has been resent to the sender. What was going on and what you're supposed to do? In the following article, we will clarify this situation to you and offer you useful instructions on how you can cope with it. There are 2 main reasons for the resending: a. The receiver cannot be contacted (due to the reasons like incomplete phone number). b. The address is unreachable (caused by incomplete address or wrong address). If an order is resent to the sender, there would be 2 scenarios it may be confronted: 1. The carrier will redeliver the parcel to the recipient. 2. The carrier will inform you to fetch the parcel from their warehouse. 3. The carrier will discard the parcel (provided that the carrier doesn’t offer a redelivery service). 1. If the carrier of your parcel offers the service of redelivery, what procedure should your order go through? First, the carrier would transport the parcel back to their warehouse for temporary storage. And they will notify us after they finished the necessary examination works, which may take several days. Second, we will update the redelivery information in the Undelivered Orders. Last, you’re supposed to go to Orders > Undelivered Orders to fill in the requisite shipping information and pay before the deadline. In this way, we will resend the parcel to your customer after receiving the payment. 2. The carrier will inform you to fetch the parcel from their warehouse. This circumstance may happen when the distance between the carrier's warehouse and the destination is relatively close. 3. Nevertheless, it would be unfortunate if the carrier doesn’t offer a redelivery service. Due to the reasons such as that they don’t have sufficient storage space, the carrier will discard the parcel if it cannot be delivered to the receiver. Therefore, it is very significant to make sure that the address your customer filled in is correct. In this case, the risk that parcels are recalled can be considerably decreased. Some customers may ask if CJ could allow a rebate under this circumstance. Generally, this kind of issue is beyond our domain of compensation. You could refer to our dispute policy to learn more about the refund, resend, and return conditions. With any confusion, please contact us. -

How to Process Temu Local Platform Shipping Labels with CJdropshipping?
Managing fulfillment efficiently is crucial for Temu sellers, as Temu enforces strict delivery time requirements. To meet these standards, CJdropshipping provides an option to connect your Temu store with CJ warehouses in the U.S. region and process Temu platform shipping labels directly. This tutorial will guide you step by step through: Setting up logistics and warehouse connections; Configuring inventory sync rules; Understanding listing changes; Processing orders with or without purchased shipping labels. By following this guide, you can ensure that your inventory, shipping labels, and fulfillment are properly synchronized between CJ and Temu, helping you run your store smoothly and avoid order or inventory mismatches. 1. Store Basic Settings 1.1 Store Logistics Settings Link: Temu US Local Store Authorization>> Similar to the semi-managed Temu platform, CJ adds an option to enable platform logistics: Yes/No Select “Yes”:After orders are pulled from the store (self-selected logistics orders), they will default to platform logistics mode. The system will automatically match Temu’s logistics options, and during payment, the system will process the shipping label by purchasing the label through the platform. Select “No”:After orders are pulled, they will default to CJ logistics (self-selected logistics mode). During payment, the system will not purchase the platform label. Later, in the printing stage, the shipping label will be processed through CJ’s freight forwarding interface. 1.2 Add a Store-Specific Logistics Brand Configuration If you specify brands (e.g., USPS, FedEx), then when CJ fetches the platform logistics, only these brands will be available. Even if other logistics are supported by the warehouse, only the selected brands can be used. If no brand is specified, the warehouse-supported logistics list will be used by default. A link is provided on the page to view which logistics brands each warehouse supports. 2. Store Inventory Sync Settings Link: Temu US Local Inventory Sync>> 2.1 CJ Warehouse Information Inventory sync settings are the same as Temu semi-managed store setup. CJ adds 10 U.S. warehouses and supplier warehouses. Customers can view the warehouse information and add the corresponding warehouse in the Temu seller backend. 2.2 Supplier Warehouse Information Supplier warehouse information can also be checked, as shown in the settings. 2.3 Adding Warehouses in Temu Backend In Temu’s seller backend: Temu Shipping Settings>> Add a warehouse with the type Self-Owned Warehouse. 2.4 Connect Store Warehouses with CJ Warehouses After creating the warehouse in Temu, return to CJ to sync and associate warehouses. Click Sync Warehouse at the top of the CJ page to fetch warehouse info from Temu. Map CJ warehouses to Temu warehouses one-to-one and save. Once saved, inventory sync will follow the associated warehouse mapping. Important change in logic: Before platform logistics goes live, inventory sync is based on all U.S. warehouse stock. After platform logistics is enabled, inventory sync follows the associated warehouse only. 2.5 Important Note If the warehouse connection is incomplete: Only inventory from connected warehouses will sync to Temu. Unconnected warehouse inventory will not sync, which may cause under-displayed stock in your Temu store. 3. Listing-Related Changes 3.1 Store Listings If warehouses are not associated, pulled inventory = 0, and listings will publish with 0 stock. If warehouses are connected, the system will sum the stock of associated warehouses and display the total for listing. 4. Order Fulfillment Changes 4.1 Orders with Purchased Shipping Labels in Temu (Pre-purchased Platform Logistics Orders) Order Status: Orders are imported as PK orders, with “Store Platform Logistics” displayed under the logistics option. (This means the shipping label has already been purchased in the Temu backend, and the order can only be fulfilled using platform logistics options.) For CJ warehouses: logistics option = Temu-US For supplier warehouses: logistics option = Store Platform Logistics Warehouse Not Connected Warning: If a warehouse used for purchased labels in Temu is not connected to a CJ warehouse, the system will return an error. Important Note: If you choose to purchase shipping labels in the Temu backend, do not select the current day as the shipping date. If you do, once the label is purchased, the order will be marked as shipped in Temu and cannot be imported into CJ. 4.2 Orders Without Purchased Shipping Labels in Temu (Self-Selected Logistics Orders) Platform Logistics Option Marking: If platform logistics is enabled, orders pulled into CJ will default to Platform Logistics. For CJ warehouse shipments: logistics option = Temu-US For supplier self-shipped items: logistics option = Store Platform Logistics When the Platform Logistics option is chosen and payment is made, the system will automatically communicate with Temu to obtain package details and shipping label information for fulfillment. Switching Logistics Per Order: For each order, users can freely change the logistics option to another available method (e.g., other CJ logistics). -
