FTID V1: (no changes, only boxing)
I personally used the most for Amazon.DE. As of today it’s recommended to use either Option 2 or Option 3 as they come with a higher success rate.
If you make “no changes” on the label the chances of the seller to finding out you returned an empty package can be very high, especially if they don’t use 3rd party companies for their returns.
Since Option 2 and 3 require you to do some changes on the label, which are very easy to do for everyone, I will no longer describe this option any further as it only comes with disadvantages compared to Option 2 and 3..
FTID V2:
Remove personal and order related details
This method can be applied on both, prepaid labels you got from the company and your own label. But keep in mind it’s still recommended to go with a
prepaid label if you are able to get one. If you have to create your own label, I suggest buying one from the carrier’s website, which you have to print on your own. So once you have your label, you have to remove all personal/order related details from it, so there is no way for the company to find your order!
FTID V3: (Change shipping address):
This method allows you to get the tracking to 100%, without the package being sent to the original destination. This option is for almost all of the shops not required as they do not check your label in detail as explained on the previous page, but if you would like to go the safe path, I’d recommend using option 3. This is basically the same as Option 2, but with one little extra modification - You change the shipping address.
Here is how:
When you buy a label from the carrier’s website, make sure to put the address of the company you are Refunding. So basically where the package should originally be shipped to. If you have a prepaid label already, then there is nothing else to do right now.
Once you have the label, you are going to manually change the shipping address to a different address which is in the same city. This can be anything from a McDonalds to another electronic company.
Make sure they accept the package for sure, otherwise your refund will fail.
A label example and how you are going to change the shipping can be found on the next pages. There are numerous ways of doing so.
It is very important that you change the address near the original shipping address, because every label has a routing code which automatically ships the package to the near location.
Once it arrives, the package will be shipped to the address which is noted on the label.
FTID V4:
This is where you use single side print flyers with an advertisement on it and place the label(ftid3 label) on the other side (withoud ad)
- typically you would only use this for international orders so it gets through customs quicker or if you needed faster shipping with say budget shipping labels
- often reffered to as 'advanced' FTID version 3, but its not really I only use this for international orders
FTID V5:
Theres like 10 different versions of FTID5 but here is the barcode method:
- Use an online barcode reader (or one on your phone) to read the destination barcode.
I use https://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/
The destination barcode is typically the one located next to the QR code on a label.
- Once uploaded, take the number that it gives you (for exemple 42046288) and change the last two digits. (we used to do only the last digit, but the last two is better)
So in our case, you would change it to something like 42046242
- Take that new number and use an online barcode generator to generate a new barcode with the new number.
I use https://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/index.php
- Take the new barcode and paste it over the old one on the label with a photo editor.
- Take this label, print it out, cut to size and tape it to the Manila padded Envelope and drop it in a DROP BOX for that specific carrier.
- Once the tracking number says “Delivered”, wait a day and contact the company’s customer support team. Politely ask for your refund to be processed as its been “returned”. (more than likely they will tell you to wait a day or two before they can process the refund. This is normal. Have patience. Keep hitting up their support chat every two days until they agree to process the refund.
PS: it's completely unnessacary to use this method unless you are doing a fake return
FTID version 5.5:
fake return: this is where you send an item of a similar weight and you are sending it to the actual company
- its rare that this is required typically you only do this if you suck and fail a refund and a FTID or just FTID
FTID V6:
1) Get your label.
2) Attach to parcel.
3) Proceed to beat the living fucking shit out of the Parcel.
4) Send beaten up empty parcel.
5) Courier will notice the parcel looks like shit and will investigate it further to find out its empty.
6) Box will be thrown away.
