Negotiated Rates

USPS

  • Save up to 15% on Parcel Select Ground rates
  • Loop's USPS rates automatically apply, so no additional setup needed

FedEx

  • Whether you have an account through FedEx, or via EasyPost – Loop has pre-negotiated rates for you! Save 25-50% on standard FedEx rates.
  • Reach out to your Account Manager or support@loopreturns.com to apply for FedEx negotiated rates

Shipping Label Customizations


Shipping label customizations allow you to configure custom values printed on labels, such as the Return ID or Order ID. These values ensure that your warehouse teams have the necessary information available on labels to quickly look up and process returns. Label Customizations are configurable within your Loop Admin for all major carriers under Settings > Shipping.


This new feature is available on all Loop plans for accounts using EasyPost for shipping label generation.


If you are unable to generate the customizations needed, please reach out to support@loopreturns.com for assistance.

Fixes + Improvements

Packing Slips

The packing slip link is now adjacent to the "Print return label" or QR code on the return status page! Previously the packing slip was below the fold which caused some customers to miss printing this document with their return.


Instant Exchanges (IX) Updates

We've made a host of improvements/fixes to our instant exchange functionality, including:

  • Ensure returns with not returning items (full keep) are not triggering the IX authorization
  • Ensure returns with exchange creation failures are flagged and sent to Needs Review
  • Resolved issue in which IX returns were re-opening after being processed
  • Resolved issue that prevented the "Instant exchange released successfully" note from populating in the timeline
  • When an instant exchange is created, which processes the new exchange order immediately, Loop will no longer display the edit address module on the return confirmation page.

Happy Returns Bag ID

Happy Returns now include the Happy Returns RMA ID and the Return bag barcode values on the return page in the Loop admin to help with identification and troubleshooting. Please note that the Return bag barcode is only available after Happy Returns creates the outbound shipment at their consolidation hubs, so the field may be empty until then.
