    Abstract: Systems and methods which facilitate return shipment of items, such as to provide for the return of goods from a purchaser to a merchant, are shown. Embodiments provide shipping management functionality for managing return requests, processing of return requests, authorizing returns, tracking of the processing of a return request, and/or tracking of return shipments. A shipping management system of embodiments operates to make shipping functionality and/or information utilized with respect to return shipments, which may not otherwise be readily available to the return shipper, conveniently accessible for use by the return shipper. Embodiments provide for some or all return shipping fees to be borne by the merchant rather than the return shipper.

    Abstract: A control system performs a shipping process, a replenishing process, a moving process, and a returning process. The replenishing process is for, in a case in which the number of first-type articles located in a first warehouse has become less than or equal to a quantitative threshold, transporting the first-type articles located in a second warehouse to the first warehouse, thereby stocking the articles into the first warehouse while the articles are in containers. The moving process is for transporting second-type articles that have become the picking target articles and are located in the second warehouse to the first warehouse, thereby stocking the articles into the first warehouse while the articles are in the containers. The returning process is for transporting the containers accommodating the second-type articles that have been returned to the first warehouse upon completion of the shipping process, from the first warehouse to the second warehouse.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to return logistics. A computing platform may process a first request, resulting in first information indicating a first transfer of resources from a buyer of an item to a seller. The computing platform may record, in a distributed ledger, the first information. The computing platform may receive a second request corresponding to another sale of the item, and may process the second request, which may result in second information indicating a second transfer of resources from another buyer to the seller. The computing platform may record, in the distributed ledger, the second information, and may cause the item to be sent from the buyer to the other buyer. The computing platform may identify, using the distributed ledger, that the item has been received by the other buyer, and may cause a third transfer of resources from the seller to the buyer.

    Abstract: A delivery management server includes one or more processors configured to receive a return request notification indicating that a return is requested using a package container. The one or more processors are also configured to, based at least in part on receipt of the return request notification and a determination that a cover of the package container is in a closed state: store a trial end time, determine a trial duration based on a comparison of a trial start time and the trial end time, and based on a determination that the trial duration is less than or equal to a trial duration threshold, send a request to direct a transportation vehicle to a container location to retrieve the package container.
