FAQ

What return types fit?

Purchases, library items, rentals, borrowed items, equipment kits, and online order returns can fit if the deadline and proof are known.

What should I not leave blank?

Do not leave deadline, proof, packaging, drop-off method, or confirmation status blank for urgent returns.

Does the template verify eligibility?

No. It organizes your own checks. Verify the policy and condition rules with the store, library, or lender.
