  • What is Cinch?
    Cinch is a service that makes returning items easier than ever. Simply schedule a pickup, and one of our drivers will pick up your item and drop it off at your designated return location.
  • How does Cinch work?
    Need something returned? Let Cinch handle the burden. Schedule a pickup by completing the pickup form, and a Cinch driver will arrive at your location. The driver will contact you for any additional information needed to complete the return. Have a shipping label that needs printing? We’ve got it covered! Have a QR code? No problem! Simply upload a PDF or image, and we'll attach it for you. After scheduling your pickup, you will receive SMS and dashboard notifications when your pickup has been accepted, when your driver is on the way, and when your order has been returned. You can track your driver live to see your return being dropped off. Once completed, you will receive a notification with a photo confirmation of the return, all while you relax at home.
