    Yes, as part of the Easy Return service, the customer can return some of the goods from the entire parcel.

      the recipient moved this parcel to the Archive

  • How can I change the address if I accept a return to a different location?

    The customer can return the goods only to that person and that address, parcel locker, or branch from which you sent them.

    However, if you have the Non-standard Return Shipping option, the parcel will be returned to the address specified therein.

  • The customer failed to warn me about the return. What should I do?

    We suggest that you contact the customer and discuss this issue directly.

    Nova Post doesn't require you to pick up the goods and refund them if the customer hasn't notified you and discussed the return of the goods with you.

  • The customer returned the wrong product or a product of poor quality. What should I do?

    We advise you to proceed according to the Law of Ukraine "On Consumer Rights Protection". The customer can return only those goods regulated by this law.

    The goods that the customer intends to return must be in good condition, with original packaging, intact and properly preserved tags, and a warranty card.

  • How can I find out which order is being returned using the API?

    The tracking bundles of a waybill through Easy Return with the original waybill are totally different compared to, for example, a refusal in the branch/auto-return.

    When ordering the service, the bundle is tracked by incoming EWs, which makes it easier for you to control the return.

    In response to the getStatusDocuments request, you get the following parameters:

    • 1
      PossibilityLightReturn is a parameter indicating the possibility of ordering a service for the specified EW
    • 2
      LightReturnNumber is the number of the primary EW under which the Easy Return was ordered

    If you have no option to return products or sell items that are not subject to return under the Law of Ukraine "On Consumer Rights Protection", such as underwear, swimwear, medicines, etc., we suggest that you proceed within the applicable law.

    Nova Post doesn't require you to pick up such returns.

  • I have a Non-standard Return Shipping set up: all returns are sent to the same address. Where will I receive the EW when ordering Easy Return?

    If you have a Non-standard Return Shipping option, returns will be sent to the address specified in this setting.
