What Is Missed After the Sale?

Return and Exchange Chaosу

For what reason was the product returned from the dealer returned? From which serial number? What status is the returned product waiting in the warehouse — will it be sold or destroyed? If these questions are not answered, each return will become a separate mystery and cost you free working hours.
