How to Create and Manage Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA)

Contents

Newegg Logistics clients are obligated to create a return merchandise authorization (RMA) before Newegg can process the return. RMAs can be created directly from the Newegg Logistics portal. Seller RMA# is required. A Newegg RMA number is assigned to each client’s RMA. All returns are sent to and processed at Newegg RLC.

RMA Creation

To get started, you will need to have the Newegg Order# or Seller Order# of the item(s) being returned. This information can be found in your Newegg portal under Manage Order > Order List.

Processing Returns After RMA Received

User can search RMA at Manage RMA > Return List by Seller RMA#, Newegg RMA#, or Seller Order # (if input upon RMA created). User can click any RMA case to see RMA details.

Newegg RLC takes photo on each item received under a RMA. Clients must make decisions on how to process RMA based on Newegg RMA Service Agreement. Check a box of decision from below:

[Return to sender]	This option is available within 2 days after an RMA received at Newegg RLC. The entire RMA shipment/package can be returned to sender/customer of clients to a location indicated.
[Restock]	This option is for an individual RMA item to be restocked as new inventory for resell again.
[Send back to clients]	This option is for an individual RMA item to be consolidated and shipped back to client warehouse within 30 days.
[Dispose]	This option is for an individual RMA item to be disposed/scrapped on site.

The decision for individual RMA item can be different from others of the same RMA. However, the decision(s) under the same RMA can only be selected and saved at the same time. Once the decisions are saved, it cannot be changed. Newegg RMA will process RMA in a prompt and efficient manner

Once the RMA has been checked in, clients can view all returned items by using the RMA Inventory List. To find this Navigate to Manage RMA > RMA Inventory List. This is useful for taking inventory of RMA items.bowman
