An email you can adapt
The subject “Return received: [reference]” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Return received: [reference] Hi [name], We have received the items recorded under return [reference] on [date]. The received list is [items]. [Team] will now check them against the agreed return process. This message confirms receipt only; it does not confirm an inspection outcome or refund. We will update you by [date] with the next result or a revised checkpoint. Please tell us if the received list differs from what you sent. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
Keep physical receipt, inspection completion and financial authorization as separate verified events.
What a useful reply should settle
The exchange should settle which items arrived and whether the customer reports a discrepancy.
Record discrepancies promptly and send the inspection result through the approved case route when available.
