Summary
Reverse logistics is the transport of goods in the opposite direction to a normal delivery: customer returns, exchanges, retail returns and reusable packaging collected and moved back to a warehouse, store or supplier. Gulf Elite Transport plans the collection and transport with you and provides a quotation before you commit. Inspection, repair, refurbishment and disposal are not part of this page.

Reverse Logistics overview
Returns are scattered: one item here, three items there. Collecting them one at a time is expensive, so returns are usually grouped into a collection round or taken back on an existing delivery route.
Gulf Elite Transport asks about the volume of returns, where they come from and where they go. We confirm what can be supported and provide a quotation. We move the goods; checking their condition or deciding what to do with them is the seller's process.

How reverse logistics differs from related services
Reverse logistics is transport in the return direction. Business-to-Consumer Delivery and Business-to-Business Delivery are outbound. Return Freight (under Freight) covers business cargo being sent back, and Warehousing and Storage covers holding returned stock once it arrives.
