The following instructions are for product(s) ordered on a purchase order processed from a RapidReq. The RapidReq is similar to the Web Requisition, but the processing time is much shorter. The reason for the shorter processing time is that the requestor must perform certain tasks that Purchasing usually performs, including processing your own returns.

1. Pack product(s) in their original packaging.
2. Including any accessories, manuals and/or documentation that came with the product(s).
3. Contact the vendor and let them know the reason for the return and ask if they will accept your return.
4. They will most likely provide you with an RMA number, which needs to be noted on the shipping label.
5. If the vendor is paying for return shipping charges, either:
   • The vendor will issue a call tag.
   • The vendor will provide you with their courier account number.
