How to deal with Wish platform return issues and unblocking strategies

Sellers who operate stores on the Wish platform often face a variety of challenges, especially high return rates that may lead to the store being blocked. This article will summarize Wish’s return policies and response strategies to help sellers manage return issues and unblocking processes more effectively.

1. Overview of Wish return policy

Wish’s policies are very strict for sellers when it comes to returns. Here are important return policy points:

• Refund before the order is shipped: If the order is canceled or refunded before the order is shipped, the seller will not receive payment.
• Refund conditions: All refund orders must meet the payment conditions. If they do not meet the payment conditions, the seller will not be paid.
• Tracking Information Responsibility: Sellers are fully responsible for refunds for orders that lack valid or accurate tracking information [[3][8]].
• Delay and delivery responsibility: Merchants are responsible for 100% refunds for orders that are delayed or take too long to deliver.
• Counterfeit goods and intellectual property infringement: Sellers are responsible for full refunds for products determined to be counterfeit.

In addition, sellers need to pay attention to the management of refund rates. A high return rate not only affects revenue, but may also lead to store bans, which is a risk that many sellers need to avoid [[3][8]].

2. Analyze the reasons for returns and formulate rectification plans

If a seller finds that the return rate is very high, he should first examine the root causes of returns, including substandard quality, inaccurate product descriptions, logistics issues, etc.

• Product quality inspection: Ensure that the quality of all products meets standards and avoid returns due to quality problems.
• Consistency between description and actual product: Make sure product images and descriptions truly reflect the product. Multiple returns usually result from the product not being as described, and the seller may be responsible for refunds [[3][5]].
• Logistics timeliness optimization: If returns are caused by delivery delays, sellers can choose a more efficient logistics company, such as Wish overseas warehouse or Wish Express, to improve service quality.

3. Handling malicious returns

Sellers need to have a certain awareness of preventing malicious returns. Some customers may make up fictitious reasons for returns. In response to malicious returns, sellers can take the following measures:

• Clear Return Policy: Set clear return rules in your store to reduce misunderstandings and abuse.
• Complaint channel: When encountering malicious returns, sellers can complain to the Wish platform. They must stay calm and provide corresponding evidence.

4. Return warehouse and logistics options

Choosing the right returns warehouse and logistics is crucial. If conditions permit, overseas warehouses can be set up locally to handle returns more efficiently and improve customer satisfaction.

• Logistics Selection: Choosing a convenient and efficient logistics partner can reduce damage and delays during transportation, which is very helpful in improving customer satisfaction and reducing return rates.

5. Unblocking process and suggestions

If the store is blocked due to excessive returns, the seller must promptly formulate a rectification plan and apply to the platform for unblocking. The rectification plan needs to be detailed and truly reflect improvement measures and responsibilities to increase the possibility of unblocking.

A deep understanding of the Wish platform’s return policy, combined with effective rectification strategies and processing methods, will help sellers reduce return rates and improve store operating results. Through continuous improvement, stores can also achieve better performance and reputation.
