SUMMARY

The reimbursement process for returned items paid by check involves the company, referred to as HO, issuing a refund check to the customer. Customers can expect to receive their reimbursement check within a few weeks after the product is returned. HO offers two refund processing options: issuing a direct refund via check or crediting a debit card, allowing the retailer to refund the customer. Both options are initiated only after the returned product is received.

I was just wondering, when a customer wants to return something and they paid by check, how do they get reimbursed? Does HO send them a check?
 
They'll get reimbursed by check - and it does seem to take a few weeks before they receive the check once the product has been returned.
 
If you ask HO about it, they can process the refund two ways. One is where they cut the customer a refund (via check, credit, etc). The other option is that they can credit your debit card & you can refund the customer. Either is done after they receive the product back.
