QuickShipment's Claymont, Delaware facility handles complete reverse logistics: returns processing, grading, refurbishment, repackaging, and certified disposal. $5/unit, 48-hour turnaround.
A reverse logistics center is a specialized 3PL facility designed to receive, process, and disposition returned, damaged, or excess inventory. Unlike a standard fulfillment warehouse that only ships outbound, a reverse logistics center runs the supply chain in both directions. QuickShipment's Claymont, Delaware facility is optimized for reverse logistics — our team processes 1,000+ returns weekly across Amazon FBA, FBM, Shopify, eBay, Walmart, and TikTok Shop channels.
Every return that arrives at our dock goes through a standardized 5-step reverse logistics process: Step 1 — Receive and log (24-hour receipt confirmation, unit count verification, condition photograph). Step 2 — Inspect and grade (35-point quality checklist, AQL sampling for large batches). Step 3 — Grade assignment (A: like new → FBA restock, B: good → secondary market, C: fair → liquidate, D: poor → refurbish or dispose). Step 4 — Disposition (restock, relist, liquidate, refurbish, or certify destruction). Step 5 — Report (full photo report in dashboard within 48 hours).
Delaware's 0% sales tax eliminates a significant cost layer in reverse logistics. When returned inventory is reprocessed and re-enters the supply chain through our Delaware facility, the restocking transaction carries zero sales tax. For sellers with $500K+ in annual returns, this can mean $30,000–$45,000 in annual tax savings on reprocessed inventory alone.
Our reverse logistics platform integrates directly with Amazon Seller Central (including FBA removal order receipt), Shopify, eBay, Walmart, and TikTok Shop. Returns are automatically matched to their originating orders where possible, and inventory updates flow back to your selling channel in real time. No spreadsheet tracking, no manual entry.
