A practical checklist for support teams: what to verify, what to ask for, and what to communicate so tickets close faster.

Most support delays come from missing information: missing photos, unclear next steps, or vague timelines. A simple checklist turns chaotic tickets into a predictable workflow.

Returns checklist

  1. Eligibility: order date + return window + exclusions
  2. Condition: is the item used? is packaging required?
  3. Evidence: photos for defects/damage when needed
  4. Resolution: refund vs exchange vs store credit
  5. Instructions: address/label + packing notes
  6. Timeline: receive → inspect → refund

Shipping checklist

  1. Tracking: resend link + explain update delays
  2. Address: confirm the delivery address
  3. Status: delayed vs delivered vs returned
  4. Next action: investigation, replacement, refund (policy)
  5. Expectations: clear ETA for next update
