How the process works
Before Returnista can process a claim, the lost or damaged package must first be reported to the carrier for investigation.
Step 1: Report the issue. If a package is lost or damaged during the return process, the claim procedure begins.
Step 2: Request an investigation. Both the consumer and the merchant can initiate an investigation.
Step 3: Conduct the investigation. Returnista or the merchant will investigate the status of the package.
Step 4: Receive the outcome. Once the carrier confirms that the package is lost or damaged, Returnista will inform the merchant or consumer of the result.
