Return Services


AVC’s Reverse Logistics Management program enables consumers and retailers (yes, even big box retailers such as Costco and Walmart) to return RMA product directly to our warehouse.

Our robust computer system allows shipments ranging from individual units, that are returned via USPS, to a full truckload.

Our receipt program and dashboards allow you, our client, to see what RMAs have been returned, when they have been returned while our seasoned team determines what condition they are in and, if they can, or should, be refurbished

Then, as part of our dedicated logistics services, we will tailor the best strategy for refurbishing and repackaging to allow this product to return as a high valued product in the secondary market.

Reverse Logistics Supply Chain Solutions


Reverse Logistics Management is an essential part of the supply chain process. With the rise of on-line purchasing, the inevitable result will be ‘returns’ of on-line purchases to the distributor, manufacturer, or re-seller.

Reverse Logistics Management is the process of accepting returns and converting them back to working capital--for you.

Most returns are as result of customer (buyer’s) remorse and, other than perhaps opening the package, the product is still untouched and functional.

Disposing of it then costs money. However, if it is functional and just needs refurbishing or repackaging then why not reverse the loss and make it into a gain?

Your quick response to your customer’s return (RMA) increases your company's value and customer satisfaction.
