Purolator USA Inc. has created several logistics options to help retailers manage their holiday merchandise returns. The company, a specialist in logistics between the U.S. and Canada, said it has created the various returns-management options to help meet the needs of businesses on both sides of the border. A return coming back to the U.S. from Canada is an import, and must undergo a thorough screening and customs clearance by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Purolator's options for customers include intra-Canada consolidation, allowing a business to build a returns schedule based on its needs; integrated returns material authorization, ensuring that customers maintain visibility of the returns process, and e-returns, utilizing an electronic interface and pre-printed labels. Purolator USA, Inc. is a subsidiary of Purolator Courier Ltd., Canada's largest overnight courier company. It specializes in the air and surface forwarding of small packages and freight shipments, customs brokerage, and delivery within the North American market.
