At what stage is it written?
The act of returning the goods is made directly upon receipt, in the presence of representatives of the supplier company and the purchasing company.
This procedure always includes an inspection of the goods (in full or selectively), respectively, if defects or damage are detected, instead of documents indicating acceptance of inventory items, a report on detected defects and a return report are generated.

Sometimes this act is formed later: when the product has already entered into service, but in this case it must be covered by the supplier’s warranty and the period of use must not exceed the maximum period established separately in each specific case.
Who should sign
The return of goods must be signed by at least two people: representatives of the buyer and supplier.
If necessary, the document may contain other signatures, for example, an employee of a transport company (if the document is formed with his participation). Moreover, if these persons sign the act, acting on the basis of a power of attorney, its details must be entered into the act: number and date of issue.
Stamps should be placed in the act only if their use is specified in the legal documentation of the enterprises.

If you are tasked with creating an act for the return of goods, and you have not encountered this document before, take into account the above tips and look at the example. With their help, you can easily perform the act you need.
- The beginning of the form is quite standard:
- write here the name of the document itself,
- his number,
- date,
- place of compilation.
- After this comes the main block.
- First of all, enter information about the supplier and buyer here (almost like in a contract):
- include the names of organizations here,
- positions and names of representatives. If these persons act under powers of attorney, the number and date of their issue should be entered in the act.
- Be sure to provide a link to the agreement under which the goods are returned.
- Further, the act contains several points.
- First, confirm the fact of acceptance and transfer of goods from the buyer to the supplier,
- enter the name of the inventory items,
- provide their detailed description,
- indicate the quantity.
- Then enable the base:
- here you need to provide a link to a document that certifies defects, defects or damage, delay in delivery or some other reason for the return.
- After this, indicate the quality of the products, packaging containers, and their condition.
- If an examination was carried out before the return, information about it must also be included in the document:
- write where, when and by whom it was carried out,
- put the date on it
- number of the corresponding act.
- In conclusion, indicate the requirements that the purchaser of inventory items places on the supplier:
- exchange,
- repair,
- Refunds. If the latter, enter the amount both in numbers and in words.
- Below is the number of created copies of the act, it is indicated that they are equal in text and from a legal point of view, signatures of all interested parties are affixed.
This document is mainly drawn up in situations where, for some reason, the seller must return money to the buyer. This procedure must be accompanied by the preparation of various documents. Among them, the main one is the act, which should display all information about the transaction.
Certificate of return of goods, form, sample
In cases where there is a need to return the goods to the supplier (seller), an important factor is the competent legal execution of such a procedure. Both high-quality and low-quality goods can be returned. Here we will look at the features of reception and transmission.
So, first of all, it is necessary to draw up a written agreement between the parties, which describes the procedure for transferring property from one person to another.
What typical example of the document in question should I choose, of which there are a great many on the Internet?
Any such document must comply with legal requirements. The form for the return of goods, a sample of which is posted on this page, meets these requirements. If you need to choose another option or analyze the proposed example by the counterparty, you should pay attention to the following information, which must be reflected in the document:
1. Date and place of drawing up the document.
2. Details of the parties who sign the act.
3. Reference to the agreement, contract, agreement (etc.), in pursuance of which the document is drawn up.
4. Description of the procedure for returning goods.
5. Description of cash payments for the transferred object, possible payment of penalties, fines and other compensation. Other mutual settlements.
6. Signatures and seal impressions of the parties who drew up and signed the act.
The document in question is drawn up in simple written form; the number of copies produced is not limited by law. If desired, the drawing up of the deed can be certified by a notary. Regardless of the number of signed documents, one of these original copies is in the possession of the parties that signed it.
The act can be drawn up either directly by the heads of organizations participating in the procedure, or by their representatives. The powers of representatives must be properly documented. As a rule, confirmation of the availability of appropriate authority is a power of attorney.
Such a power of attorney, a sample of which you can find on our website in the “Sample Documents” section or follow the link, must be in the form of a written document and drawn up either in simple written form or by a notary. Considering that any power of attorney can be revoked by the principal, before signing the act, it is advisable to check the validity of the attorney’s powers.
Documents and other objects of the material world may be attached to the act. These can be either accompanying documents for the returned goods or any others.
Certificate of return of goods under contract No. APV/59293/2013/3958 dated June 31, 2013
Moscow December 31, 2013
OJSC "DAVIZZ and K", referred to in the act as "Buyer", represented by Kayumov Tengiz Vagitovich, representative under power of attorney No. 49685/KNE/4968/2013 dated December 31, 2013, acting on the basis of the above power of attorney, and LLC "LOO-PARADISE" ", referred to in this act as the "Supplier", represented by German Veniaminovich Varkhmistrov, representative under power of attorney No. RDD/4968832/669584/2013 dated December 31, 2013, drew up this act (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") on the following:
1. The goods were delivered to the Buyer by the Supplier under contract No. APV/59293/2013/3958 dated June 31, 2013, in inadequate quality.
2. Should return to the Buyer 5968573.96 (five million nine hundred sixty-eight thousand five hundred seventy-three rubles) 96 kopecks, including VAT 18%.
etc…
See the attached file for the full text of the document.
When is a certificate of return of funds to the buyer drawn up?
As a rule, the need to prepare this document arises in situations where the seller entered the payment amount incorrectly, for some reason the invoice was not delivered, and the buyer returns the goods. Moreover, the main thing you need to pay attention to is that the KM-3 act is filled out only if the money will be returned on the day of the transaction.
Accordingly, the buyer returns the goods. If it is not possible to return the funds on the same day, then instead of an act, a cash receipt order is issued.
After drawing up the act, its limitation period is two months. After the end of this period, neither party has the right to make any claims, for example, in case of incorrect completion of the document. After the funds are returned, the document is sent for storage to the organization’s archives. He must stay here for at least five years.

Where does the return begin?
To get a refund, the buyer must present to the store:
№ | What to show | Explanation |
1 | Goods with preserved presentation | It must be in complete packaging, with intact labels, with full preservation of all physical properties and qualities |
2 | Warranty card | If it was issued when purchasing the product (not all products are guaranteed by law) |
3 | Proof of purchase document | Typically a cash receipt is used for this purpose. Large chain stores store data about each purchase in their database, so even if you don’t have a paper receipt on hand, the store is required to accept a return request. |
4 | Document confirming the identity of the buyer | This could be a passport or driver's license |
5 | Statement | Written by the buyer in free form or based on a sample from the store |
What should be on the return form
If the store does not have a ready-made form of the form in question, the buyer can draw up a free-form application according to a principle similar to the one below. The standard sample form for returning goods from the buyer should include the following information:
- FULL NAME. the head of the trading enterprise (if known) and the name of the store;
- FULL NAME. buyer with passport details;
- name of the product and the amount paid by the buyer for it;
- reasons why the buyer wants to return the goods (preferably with references to the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, etc.).
We highly recommend that you provide a link to a regulatory act confirming the buyer’s right to refuse the purchased product. Usually this is the Consumer Rights Protection Law (you need to select a rule of law from it that suits your situation).
Please note that a sample form for returning goods from a buyer is often freely available in the so-called “Buyer’s Corner” in the store. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with its form and quickly complete your application.
The document must be dated and signed by the buyer, and then handed over to the store representatives.
In practice, a sample form for returning goods from a buyer looks something like this:
Refund of the cost of goods from the cash register
To reimburse a store customer for the cost of returned goods in cash, there is a special form of cash return certificate No. KM-3. This document is drawn up:
- if the cashier mistakenly punched the check;
- in the case when the buyer changes his mind about taking goods that have already been punched at the checkout;
- when a customer wants to return an item purchased on the same day.
As a rule, the basis for issuing money to the buyer is a check, but under the consumer protection law this is an optional condition. If there is no receipt, instead, a client’s application with passport data or an explanatory note from the cashier is attached to the return certificate. If there are several returns during a work shift, they are all entered into one act, which is approved by the signatures of the persons included in the special commission. Then the data from the KM-3 certificate is transferred to the cashier’s journal, and the document itself is transferred to the accounting department.
return certificate in form KM-3 can be found here.
Issuing funds from the cash register without drawing up an act is a violation of the procedure for handling cash and entails administrative liability with a fine for individual entrepreneurs in the amount of 4-5 thousand rubles, for a legal entity - 40-50 thousand rubles.
When can a seller refuse a buyer?
A completed sample form for returning goods from the buyer is handed over to the seller, after which the management of the trading company makes a decision on returning the amount paid or exchanging for an analogue without quality defects.
But in some cases the seller has the right to refuse to satisfy the buyer’s demands. Here are the most common situations:
Situation | Explanation |
Refusal to return food products |
|
Refusal to return products prohibited for return |
|
Refusal due to missed deadlines | The buyer has only 14 days to return the product without any defects. And low-quality goods can be returned before the end of the warranty period or 2 years from the date of purchase. |
Is it possible to return a product purchased in an online store?
The law also provides for the return of purchases made remotely. If the product was purchased in an online store, you can similarly send a claim to the store’s email or physical address and simply refuse the product within a week after the purchase.

If the size, color, style and other parameters do not suit you, you can write a refusal 7 days in advance. And if the product does not meet quality requirements - during the warranty period or 2 years after purchasing online.
Moreover, if you return within 7 days after the order, you do not need to explain to the online seller the reasons for refusing the purchase. In addition, the store is obliged to notify the buyer about the return policy in writing.
If this has not been done, you can file a claim and request a return within 3 months from the date of purchase, and not 7 days.
If all rules and formalities are followed, the store transfers the paid amount back to the buyer’s bank account. This operation should take no more than 10 days.
As a result, the sample form for returning goods from a buyer through an online store is practically no different from returning goods to a stationary retail outlet.
Shoes cannot be exchanged
- — with defects resulting from operation in conditions that do not correspond to its intended purpose;
- — with mechanical damage (burns, cuts, abrasions, etc.);
- — deformed as a result of improper wearing, drying, lost quality as a result of chemical exposure and with other defects caused by the buyer;
- - repaired by the buyer before presentation to the store (except for replacing heels, attaching metal jambs, gluing a preventive outsole, if such repairs did not result in the formation of defects).
Requirements for shoes used during the warranty period
- - shoes must be clean and dry;
- — shoes that have been repaired are not accepted for return.
When returning goods, an amount of savings equal to the cost of the returned goods is automatically withdrawn from the buyer's discount card.
The requirements approved in the Civil Code, as well as the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights, regulate the rules for creating a form for an act of returning goods from the buyer. The participant in the transaction may return the delivered or purchased goods if the latter has become unusable during transportation or for other reasons.
When returning, approved regulations are drawn up to regulate relations between the parties. Such a document may be in a generally accepted form or compiled by the company for internal use.

- incorrect item contents
- re-grading (calculation, body kit)
- delay in product delivery date

How to write a return letter
There is no standardized form for a letter to return goods. Consequently, the document will have to be generated in any form. It is advisable to fill out the letter on the institution’s letterhead.

That is, write down what the company was supposed to do under the contract. Next, you should write down the facts revealed as a result of the delivery (which is why you had to apply). For example, indicate that the product is of poor quality, the wrong product was delivered, or something else. Then outline your requirements. For example, to supply a high-quality product, replace non-conforming parts, product components, or other things.
