How to Answer

Our customers are our top priority, so we welcome returns within 30 days with a register receipt. Unfortunately, many retailers are subject to fraudulent return activity, which is why we use a refund verification system to process and track returns in order to combat fraudulent activity. Talk to the interviewer about how you would handle a situation where a customer's return was flagged as fraudulent.

Example Answer

"The process at my current store for this situation is to provide the customer with a direct number to our fraud department and let them know that our system cannot process their return. I always make sure not to make the customer feel that I suspect them. What is the process for this situation at Homesense?"
