Why this matters

Cross-border returns affect conversion, loyalty, and margins, especially in apparel and high-volume categories. A good returns experience reduces churn and improves confidence at checkout.

DELIVERY & RETURNS SOLUTIONS

 

Delivery options and estimated times, duties and taxes approach (DDP/DDU), tracking information, address requirements, restricted items, returns process, and customer support contact routes. Keep it structured and easy to scan.

Product pages, basket/checkout, order confirmation emails, and tracking pages. If customers cannot find it at the moment of decision, they will contact support or abandon the purchase.

If DDP: “All duties and taxes are included at checkout.” If DDU: “Duties and taxes may be charged on delivery by local authorities or the carrier.” Avoid vague phrasing that feels like a hidden surprise.

Use ranges based on lane performance and include a short note that customs processing can affect transit time. Promise what you can consistently meet, not the fastest possible case.

Yes, for your top markets. Country pages reduce confusion because restrictions, duties, and delivery expectations vary by country. Start with your highest-traffic destinations.

Shipping cost, delivery time, tracking, duties and taxes, how returns work, and what happens if delivery fails or the parcel is delayed. These are the core drivers of checkout confidence.

Explain what happens after a failed attempt: redelivery, safe place, neighbour, depot hold, pickup point, and time limits. Provide clear next steps and where to find the latest status.

Define when an order is considered lost, your investigation window, and what resolution customers can expect (refund or replacement). Consistent rules reduce disputes.

State that some items cannot be shipped to specific destinations and link to a restricted list or destination guidance. Make it clear at checkout when possible to avoid failed orders.

Explain that customers must provide accurate addresses, what happens if the address is incomplete, and whether rerouting is possible. Encourage phone numbers for delivery updates and exceptions.
