You proactively mitigate risks and help reduce a product’s exposure to classic failure modes.

About the team

The Return Customer Experience (RCX) team is a part of the WWRR and works on continuously improving the shopping experience for Amazon's customers. Our impact on the shopping experience starts right from setting up Customer Obsessed and Competitive Returns policies. We work closely with many partner teams in setting the appropriate returns policy for every item that is sold on Amazon World-Wide. Once created, we ensure this policy is communicated to customers clearly on relevant places throughout their purchase journey. By doing so, we help customers make an informed purchase and assure them of the support they can expect to receive post-purchase. Once an item is purchased and if a customer does have an issue with the item, we provide a self-service through the Online Returns Center (ORC) to remediate the issue. Using the ORC, we offer Customers with a wide selection of resolutions to help resolve the issue being faced with their purchase. Through out the Customer return journey, we use emails and progress trackers to keep customers informed of the status of their resolution. Through these tools and the returns policies, we aim to delight our customers and increase their confidence in making a purchase decision.
