If using a different box or the label is damaged, print a new label.
Secure the Product
Fill the box with paper or padding to keep the item stable during transit.
Follow the Standard Return Process
Refer to your delivery note for return instructions.
Important: If you're returning items without dangerous goods, please remove the LQ label from the box.
