On the back of the customers receipt should be the number and the instructions on how to do a return.
Just easier for the customer, that way you are not the "middle man" and she will get her replacement directly.

I don't mind taking care of these things--it's all about customer service. I don't do the mailing for them, but I do get the process rolling and tell them what to do. The HO can always ship product directly to the customer, even if you're the one handling the return.
