The life of a return (statuses explained)

After-sales is where everything that happens after a sale comes together — so you have one place to follow and act on anything that affects an order once it's been placed.

Written by The Oblist

Despite the name, it's not only returns. You'll find here every case that touches one of your pieces after checkout:

  • Returns — a collector sends a piece back (change of mind, or a problem).

  • Claims — a reported issue that may not involve a physical return (e.g. a piece that arrived damaged where we keep the piece with the customer).

  • Returned parcels — a delivery that came back to you (refused, unclaimed, wrong address…).

  • Credit notes — the accounting documents issued when a refund affects a piece you were paid for.

What you can do here

  • See each case with its reason, resolution and status.

  • Review the collector's photos and videos when they reported a problem.

  • Accept or decline a request when we ask for your call.

  • Confirm you received a returned piece, and flag it if it came back in poor condition.

  • Contest a return you believe is outside your policy.

What lives elsewhere (but is related)

  • Production delays are reported from the order itself — see Reporting a production delay.

  • Late orders (past their ship-by date) are flagged on your Dashboard and in your Orders list — see Late orders & ship-by dates.

Where to find it

Open After-sales in your vendor dashboard. When you have no open cases, you'll see quick links to these help articles so you know what to expect before your first one.
