Turning returns and excess inventory into revenue through innovative reverse logistics
Gig Return Depots are designated locations within our FBG network that handle returns, damaged items, and excess inventory. Instead of treating returns as pure losses, depot operators bundle these items into "Mystery Boxes" and resell them on our secondary Return Market, converting logistics costs into revenue-generating assets.
Customers drop off returns, or sellers send damaged/excess inventory to designated Gig Return Depots. Items are scanned and logged into the system.
Sources: Customer returns, seller overstock, damaged packaging, seasonal clearance
Depot operators assess condition, group similar items together, and categorize by value tier (Premium, Standard, Discount). Unusable items are properly recycled.
Quality Tiers: Premium (like-new), Standard (minor defects), Discount (parts/repair)
Items are bundled into themed "Mystery Boxes" (e.g., Electronics Bundle, Home Goods Mix). Each box is photographed with detailed inventory lists.
Transparency: Full photo inventory included so buyers know exactly what they're bidding on
Mystery Boxes are posted on Add Click Go's dedicated Return Market with photos, descriptions, estimated retail value, and starting bid price.
Auction Format: 7-day auctions with "Buy Now" option for immediate purchase
Buyers bid on or purchase boxes. They can choose to pay for shipping via FBG network or arrange local pickup directly from the depot.
Fulfillment Options: Ship via FBG drivers or schedule local pickup (saves shipping costs)
Sale proceeds are split between the original seller (to offset return loss), the depot operator (for processing), and Add Click Go (platform fee).
Fair Split: Everyone benefits from turning returns into recovered value
Depot operators are specialized gig workers who manage return processing centers. This role combines storage hosting with active sorting, inspection, photography, and listing management on the Return Market.

By giving returned and excess items a second life, Gig Return Depots reduce waste, minimize landfill contributions, and promote a circular economy. Every mystery box sold is one less set of items discarded.

Items that don't sell after 30 days are re-bundled into discount "surprise mix" boxes at lower starting bids. Truly unsellable items are responsibly recycled or donated to charity.
Each box includes full photo documentation and condition tier (Premium, Standard, Discount). Buyers know exactly what they're getting. All sales are final, but we maintain transparency to build trust.
Operators earn processing fees upfront when listing boxes, then receive commission percentages when boxes sell. Payments are processed weekly via direct deposit.
Both! Buyers range from individual treasure hunters looking for deals to professional resellers building inventory. The Return Market welcomes all types of buyers.
Traditional pallets are often blind buys with poor documentation. Our mystery boxes include full photo inventories, detailed descriptions, and quality tier ratings. Plus, local pickup options save on shipping.
No prior experience required! We provide training on sorting, photography, and listing best practices. If you're organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy creating value from returned goods, you'll do great.
