International sellers face critical barriers when managing reverse logistics in Canada from abroad. The first of many barriers is efficiently and cost-effectively handling returns in Canada without having boots on the ground to receive, approve, sort, and reship returns to their original destination. The cost of managing returns and lack of resources has kept many businesses out of Canada's growing ecommerce market, projected to reach $104B by 2025. That is why Reship and ReturnBear have joined forces to streamline the return process for international sellers, empowering them to enter the Canadian market seamlessly.

Introducing the Reship and ReturnBear partnership

Effective Return Management for International Sellers in Canada
Reship and ReturnBear have formed a powerful alliance, bridging the gap for international businesses seeking to expand their footprint in Canada, the US, and the UK by providing cross-border returns management. With this partnership, brands will have access to a full-service shipping and returns solution that will reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, and enable brands to grow their sales in new markets.

‍

At ReturnBear, we specialize in end-to-end return management, providing international brands with full-suite return processing required to manage their returns from abroad, including item handling and inspection, repacking, and shipping to the original destination. In addition, our return consolidation feature allows sellers to efficiently manage returns by consolidating multiple items into a single shipment, saving them time and money on shipping costs.

‍

Additionally, we provide Canadian and US return addresses for growing brands looking to expand in the US and CA. Marketplaces like The Bay and Macy's require local return addresses, and we help give brands the confidence to grow in the market with a localized return team. By providing sellers with a verified local return address, ReturnBear ensures compliance with the marketplaces and builds trust with Canadian customers.

‍

Reship, on the other hand, excels through their strategically located warehouses in Canada, USA, and the UK, enabling them to serve customers in over 200 countries. Leveraging its extensive network of carriers, Reship enables international delivery at competitive rates. This ensures reliable and cost-efficient shipping for international sellers targeting the Canadian market.

‍

To illustrate the Reship and ReturnBear collaboration, consider an example of a UK-based seller expanding their business into Canada. ReturnBear consolidates returns and sends them to a Canadian return address on behalf of the seller. Reship takes over from there, ensuring the items are shipped back to the desired destination or 3PL provider in sellable condition. This streamlined process saves time and effort and increases the likelihood of reselling returned items in ready-to-sell condition in the Canadian marketplace.
