The cross-border returns gap
10–25%

of cross-border e-commerce orders in LATAM come back — higher for apparel and footwear.

Costs more

to ship a single unit back to China or the U.S. than the product is often worth.

~10 days

is the return window Chilean consumer law grants — sellers need a local return address to comply.

How it works

One local flow, from RMA to refund

A defined, auditable process you can show your customers — the SLA clock starts the moment a unit lands at our Santiago hub.

1

Authorization (RMA)

The return opens against an RMA. Every unit we receive is matched to it.

2

Receive & check-in

Scan, count and timestamp on arrival. A dedicated returns lane — never mixed with inbound.

3

Inspect & grade

New / like-new / used / damaged, against a written rubric, with a photo per unit.

4

Disposition

Your rules decide: restock, reprocess, consolidate for reship, store or dispose locally.

5

Update & notify

We register the outcome and notify you to trigger the refund or credit.

6

Report

A dashboard of volumes, return reasons, recovery rate and turnaround times.

Services & pricing

Priced per line, not one flat fee

Transparent per-action pricing so you only pay for what each return needs. Reference ranges in USD — final quote fits your volume and mix.

Why 3GMO

Built around what actually drives the decision

01

No return freight

Every unit that lands here is a transpacific return you don't pay for.

02

Fast time-to-refund

3–7 business days from hub to refund trigger — published as an SLA to cut chargeback risk.

03

Value recovery

Restock and resell locally to recover 40–60% of value instead of writing it off.

04

No black box

Photo, grade and disposition per unit in a portal — full traceability, not a mystery overseas.

Who it's for

Two markets, one landing pad

If you sell into Chile and the Southern Cone from abroad, your returns have nowhere local to land. That's the gap we fill.
