Reverse logistics that recovers value, not just processes it

Cloud9 is a UK third-party fulfilment company based in Sheffield. A return is not just an order in reverse. Stock comes back in unknown condition, and what happens next decides whether it becomes sellable stock again or a write-off. We receive each return, check it by hand against your rules, and restock, set aside or action it accordingly, with the whole process visible to you. Because we handle returns by hand rather than push them through a machine, the judgement calls get made properly: is this sellable, does it need rework, or should it be set aside?

  • Every return received and checked by hand against your rules, so good stock and faulty stock are separated properly.
  • Good stock put back on sale fast, so a return becomes recovered value rather than a write-off.
  • Returns processed in the UK, including for international brands needing a UK returns address.
  • Faulty or questionable stock set aside and reported, so you decide what happens next.
  • Rework and correction available in-house, so a return that just needs a fix does not become a loss.
  • The whole returns process visible to you, so you can see what came back and why.
  • A named account contact plus tracked tickets, so returns queries do not disappear.
WHAT WE HANDLE

The kinds of returns we process

Faulty & damaged returns

Items returned as faulty, checked and either corrected, set aside or reported, so a genuine fault never goes back out to another customer.

Unwanted & change-of-mind returns

Good stock returned unused, inspected and put straight back on sale where it meets your standard, so it earns again instead of gathering dust.

Exchanges via your returns portal

The return comes back to us and the replacement goes out as a new order. Plug in a returns portal and that re-order is placed automatically, so an exchange stays smooth for your customer even though it is two steps behind the scenes.

International returns to a UK address

A UK returns address for overseas brands and customers, so returns are consolidated here rather than shipped back across borders one by one.

HOW IT WORKS

How our returns process works

01

The return arrives and we log it

Each return comes back to our Sheffield warehouse and is logged against the original order, so you can see what has come back and why.

02

We check it by hand against your rules

A person inspects each return and grades it against the rules you set, deciding whether it is sellable, needs rework or should be set aside.

03

We restock, rework or set it aside

Good stock goes straight back on sale, items that just need a fix go to rework, and anything failing your standard is held and reported to you.

04

You see the whole picture

The return, its condition and its outcome stay visible to you, so returns are a managed, reportable process rather than a black hole.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Returns management questions, answered

How quickly do you process returns?
Returns are processed daily at our Sheffield warehouse, checked on receipt so good stock goes back on sale quickly rather than sitting in a pile waiting to be dealt with.
Can you inspect returns against our own rules?
Yes. You set the rules for what counts as sellable, what goes to rework and what gets set aside, and we check each return by hand against them, so returns are graded your way, not ours. We can build bespoke returns solutions around how you work.
What happens to faulty returns?
Faulty or questionable stock is set aside, held and reported to you, so you decide whether it is corrected, returned to a supplier or disposed of. Nothing faulty goes back on sale without your say-so.
Can you handle exchanges and replacements?
The return comes back to us and the replacement goes out as a new order, rather than as one combined swap. If you use a third-party returns portal, that replacement order is placed automatically, so the exchange stays seamless for your customer.
Can you be our UK returns address for international orders?
Returns processed daily, in the UK, including for international brands needing a UK returns address.
