Holiday shopping is upon us, and all retailers know what goes up must come down. And as consumers begin purchasing gifts, we’re only a few weeks away before the returns start. Then the tension begins. We all know that feeling too well of reviewing the aftermath after a month of flash sales and last-minute shoppers, sitting in the office chair to review product damages, untouched ‘hot’ merchandise, and the onset of customer returns.
What can you do to ease your workload and focus on sales growth instead? We know the answer, reverse logistics services with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider! 3PL reverse logistics benefits include significant cost savings, time savings, and peace of mind. So, take a few moments to learn how to start the year with logistics ease.
Start Your Year Off Right
Reverse logistics continues to be a critical part of supply chain costs even as online sales continue to increase. Since reverse logistics is a detail-oriented process, managing it in-house can quickly become time-consuming as your sales continue to grow. That’s where a 3PL can step in and handle it for you. They’re experts at providing much-needed assistance so that you can focus on other matters.

Every 3PL has its own process, but at Beitler Logistics Services (BLS), we’ll give you peace of mind from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect with our 3PL reverse logistics services.
