This article explains how to bring goods to a buffer warehouse in Mississauga, Ontario, relabel them correctly and send them back to Walmart quickly.

Why does Walmart Canada refuse goods with the wrong barcodes?

Walmart runs a very strict, highly automated warehouse system. When a truck delivers, warehouse staff or automatic scanners scan the UPC/EAN on every box and every product. If any of these errors occur, the shipment is returned immediately:

• The barcode is faded, scratched or blurry because of poor printing.
• One product’s UPC has been put on another product.
• The barcode doesn’t match the information registered in Walmart Seller Center.
• The barcode is too small or placed on a fold in the carton, so it can’t be scanned.

When goods are refused, Walmart asks the carrier to take them away immediately. Without a domestic warehouse address in Canada to receive them, you risk losing the whole shipment or paying very expensive storage penalties.

How to bring Walmart Canada returns to the Mississauga buffer warehouse

The best way to solve this is to move the goods to a nearby buffer warehouse for manual processing. Soleil Transportation’s warehouse is strategically located at 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6, which is very convenient for receiving returns from Walmart’s distribution centres.

Step 1: Ask for the goods to be returned to the buffer warehouse

As soon as you receive a rejection notice from Walmart or the carrier, update the return address in the system to Soleil Transportation’s warehouse in Mississauga. We’ll take the details and prepare space to receive your shipment.

Step 2: Inspect and sort at the buffer warehouse

When the goods arrive in Mississauga, our team will:

• Check the outside of the cartons to make sure they weren’t dented in transit.
• Spot-check or fully check the products to identify the exact labelling error (wrong code, faded label or wrong position).
• Report the actual quantity received against the original waybill.

Step 3: Print and apply correct labels to Walmart’s standards

Export the correct label PDF (with the right UPC/EAN) from your Walmart Seller account and email it to us.

• The warehouse reprints the labels on a professional printer for high sharpness.
• Staff remove the old labels or cover them with new ones in exactly the right position to Walmart’s standards.
• New cartons are used if the old ones are torn (basic carton packing is included in the service; other special requests carry a surcharge).

Step 4: Create a new shipment and deliver it back to Walmart

Once relabelling is done, just create a new shipment in Walmart Seller Center and send us the new shipping labels. The Mississauga buffer warehouse handles fulfillment, applies the outer shipping labels and books a domestic carrier to deliver the goods back to Walmart’s warehouse.

Costs and turnaround at Soleil Transportation

Fixing labelling problems needs to happen quickly so your Walmart Canada sales aren’t interrupted. Here is how our service supports you:

• Turnaround: Receiving, relabelling and preparing the goods for dispatch usually takes just 1 to 3 business days after we receive your new labels.
• Fulfillment costs: Storage, packing, labelling and delivery for e-commerce sellers in Canada start at just $5 CAD per order.
• Domestic shipping: If you need to send the goods from Mississauga to Walmart warehouses in Canada or the US, domestic shipping starts at $35 per parcel. For Canada to US shipments we only charge for shipping, and the recipient pays any US import duties.
• Flexible payment: Pay service fees easily by Interac e-Transfer, bank transfer, credit card or cash.

Tips to avoid repeating barcode mistakes

To avoid paying to handle Walmart Canada returns again on future shipments, shop owners should take care in Vietnam:

• Check your label files carefully: Before printing in bulk to label in Vietnam, scan a test label with a phone app to make sure it shows the UPC/EAN registered on Walmart.
• Use good-quality printing materials: Avoid cheap thermal paper that fades or smudges with moisture or friction during the 7–14 day air journey from Vietnam to Canada.
• Apply labels on flat surfaces: Don’t put labels over the sealing tape, close to the corners or on a fold of the box.

If you have a labelling problem with a Walmart Canada shipment or need a reliable buffer warehouse in Ontario to process goods quickly, contact Soleil Transportation on +1 888-998-5199 or at info@soleiltransportation.com. We’ll advise you on receiving the returns and relabelling them as quickly as possible to protect your store.

The risks of a wrong label or the wrong depot

The sorting systems of Canada Post and domestic carriers such as UPS and FedEx are automated, based on scanning the barcode and postal code. When the province and postal code on the label don’t match, the system sends the parcel to the wrong depot.

This usually leads to one of these outcomes:

• Return to sender: The last-mile carrier can’t deliver and automatically returns the parcel to the original warehouse. You pay shipping twice.
• Indefinite storage: The parcel sits at a depot in the wrong province awaiting manual verification and can easily get lost.
• Delivery to the wrong address: If the same street name exists in two provinces, the parcel may be delivered to someone else.

How to fix a wrong last-mile address in Canada

As soon as you find a parcel with the wrong address, or tracking shows an address error, take these steps to limit the damage.

Step 1: Ask the last-mile carrier to hold the parcel

As soon as the tracking looks unusual, call the Canadian domestic carrier with the last-mile tracking number and ask them to intercept the parcel or hold it at the nearest depot (Hold for Pickup). This stops it travelling further into the wrong sorting flow.

Step 2: Reroute the parcel to the Mississauga warehouse

If you are in Vietnam or another province and can’t collect it yourself, the best option is to ask the carrier to reroute the parcel to Soleil Transportation’s Mississauga warehouse at: 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6.

The Mississauga warehouse sits in Ontario’s major logistics hub, with direct connections to the main transport routes in Canada and the US, so problem parcels can be collected and handled as quickly as possible.

Step 3: Receive, inspect and relabel

Once the parcel reaches the Mississauga warehouse, Soleil Transportation staff will:

• Check its physical condition and send you photos to confirm.
• Print a new shipping label with the correct address you provide.
• Remove the old, incorrect label and apply the new one so the carrier’s scanners don’t misread it.

Step 4: Send it back out for last-mile delivery

With its new label, the parcel goes back into the domestic delivery network to the recipient. With Soleil Transportation’s domestic shipping within Canada and to the US from just $35 per parcel, you keep the cost of fixing the problem as low as possible.

How e-commerce shop owners can prevent labelling errors

If you sell from Vietnam to customers in Canada or the US, labelling remotely is very error-prone. To remove this risk, use Soleil Transportation’s fulfillment service in Canada from just $5 CAD per order.

The process is very simple:

1. Send stock in bulk from Vietnam to Canada by air (7–14 days on average, from just $16/kg including import duties).
2. Your goods are stored safely at the Mississauga warehouse.
3. When a customer orders, our warehouse system prints an accurate label from the order details, packs it in a standard carton (included in basic packing) and hands it to a domestic carrier.

This eliminates handwritten address errors and cuts last-mile delivery times to just 1–3 business days.

What to do when you find an order with the wrong address

If you have a stuck parcel, a parcel with the wrong depot details, or need a reliable intermediate warehouse in Canada to handle returns, have this information ready:

• The parcel’s current tracking number.
• The correct delivery address.
• The parcel’s approximate size and weight.

Contact Soleil Transportation on +1 888-998-5199 or at info@soleiltransportation.com and our Mississauga warehouse team will help you intercept, recover and relabel the parcel as quickly as possible, so it isn’t destroyed or sent back to Vietnam at great cost.

Why can’t you fix SKU errors directly in Amazon’s warehouse?

Once goods are in Amazon’s FBA system, warehouse staff won’t peel off and replace labels or re-sort faulty boxes for you. The only option is to create a removal order so Amazon sends the stock to an address in Canada.

Choosing a provider with a warehouse and professional fulfillment service in Canada to receive these returns is extremely important. The warehouse must understand Amazon’s labelling standards, have professional barcode printers and work quickly to keep storage costs down.

4 steps to handle returns and relabel stock in Mississauga

To rescue a mislabelled shipment, sellers can follow this standard process through our transit warehouse in Mississauga.

Step 1: Create a removal order in Amazon Seller Central

Log in to Seller Central, select the mislabelled SKUs and create a removal order. In the return address, enter our receiving warehouse:

• Warehouse address: 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6.
• Phone: +1 888-998-5199.
• Email: info@soleiltransportation.com.

Once the order is created, Amazon packs the stock and ships it within Canada to our Mississauga warehouse.

Step 2: Receive and count the goods at the warehouse

Returns from Amazon usually don’t arrive all at once. They come in several parcels because the stock was stored in different provinces. When the boxes reach our Mississauga warehouse, we:

• Photograph the outside of each returned box.
• Open the boxes and count the actual quantity of each item.
• Check against the seller’s list of faulty products to identify exactly which items need relabelling.

Step 3: Print new SKU labels and apply them to FBA standards

The seller sends the PDF file with the new SKU barcodes (Amazon’s standard FNSKU) through the system. The order processing team at the Mississauga warehouse then:

• Uses a professional label printer so the print is sharp and doesn’t smudge when Amazon scans it.
• Applies the new label directly over the old, incorrect one, making sure no part of the old barcode shows underneath so the scanner can’t misread it.
• Repacks the products in strong standard cartons.

Step 4: Create a new FBA shipment and send it back to Amazon

Once relabelling is complete, we provide the exact dimensions and weights of the packed boxes. The seller uses this information to:

• Create a new FBA shipment in Seller Central.
• Download the box labels and send them to us.
• We apply the box labels and hand the shipment to Amazon’s partnered carriers for pickup, or deliver it straight to the Amazon warehouse on request.

Costs and turnaround at the Mississauga warehouse

We offer an all-in-one fulfillment solution in Canada at very competitive prices for small and medium-sized e-commerce sellers:

• Fulfillment in Canada (including receiving returns, temporary storage, repacking and relabelling): from just $5 CAD per order.
• Domestic shipping within Canada and to the US for large parcels once processed: from just $35 per parcel.
• Relabelling and repacking usually take just 2 to 3 business days after all returns arrive at the Mississauga warehouse, so sellers can get their products back on the virtual shelf quickly.

To start fixing your mislabelled stock or get a detailed quote for each product, have the quantity of stock to remove ready and contact us on +1 888-998-5199 or at info@soleiltransportation.com for the fastest support.

4 steps to inspect and handle damaged goods at a warehouse in Canada

When a box shows signs of denting or damp from transport or long storage, the Mississauga warehouse team immediately takes these technical steps:

Step 1: Sort the goods and assess the damage

Not every wet box has to be thrown away. Warehouse staff open the outer carton to check the actual products inside.

• Group 1 (safe): Products inside are individually bagged and unaffected by rain or moisture.
• Group 2 (needs drying): Products are slightly damp on the surface but not physically deformed.
• Group 3 (written off): Products have green mould, rust (for metal items) or are completely deformed by water.

Step 2: Dry the products

Group 2 products are taken to the technical area for drying. Depending on the material (fabric, leather or plastic), this is done with a low-temperature dryer or industrial fans. The goal is to remove all moisture without melting plastic, shrinking fabric or losing the product’s original shape.

Step 3: Replace the cartons and repack

Damp cartons must never be reused, because they lose their strength and collapse easily when stacked on pallets.

• All products that pass after drying are packed in 100% new cartons.
• New box sizes are chosen to fit the goods so nothing moves around.
• Basic carton packing is usually included in the service, saving the owner extra costs.

Step 4: Reprint and reapply barcode (FNSKU) labels

A very common problem after goods get wet is that the old barcode labels smudge, tear or peel off. If the barcode can’t be scanned, the warehouse systems of Canadian marketplaces class your shipment as “Unidentified” and charge storage penalties.

• Staff at the Mississauga warehouse reprint new barcode labels from the PDF file you provide.
• New labels are applied flat and smooth, without wrinkles, where they are easiest to scan on the carton or product packaging.

Professional fulfillment in Mississauga

Instead of struggling to sort things out remotely, shop owners usually entrust damaged goods to providers with a physical warehouse in Canada. With Soleil Transportation’s fulfillment service in Canada from just $5 CAD per order, we inspect, repack and relabel your goods to the standards of the major marketplaces.

Our warehouse is at 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6. This prime location near major distribution centres keeps transit times as short as possible once damaged goods have been dealt with.

Tips to minimise moisture damage when shipping to Canada

To avoid having to deal with damaged goods in Canada in the first place, take precautions when packing in Vietnam:

• Use desiccant: Put 2 to 3 desiccant packs inside each small product bag.
• Use stretch wrap: For heavy parcels sent by air, or palletised sea shipments, wrapping the cartons tightly in stretch film is a very effective barrier against rain and humidity.
• Declare the type of goods correctly: Especially for temperature- and moisture-sensitive goods, so the warehouse can store them on high shelves away from the floor.

If you have a shipment with moisture damage or torn labels that needs urgent handling in Mississauga or Toronto, have photos of its condition and the barcode files to reprint ready, then contact us on +1 888-998-5199 or email the details to info@soleiltransportation.com for the fastest solution.

When this happens, the best solution is to bring the goods to a domestic transit warehouse for relabelling before distribution. Here is a cost comparison and the actual process in Mississauga, Ontario to help you sort things out in time.

Why relabel at a warehouse in Canada?

Many sellers assume small packaging problems can be negotiated with TikTok Shop or the last-mile carrier. In reality, the scanning systems at large e-commerce warehouses in Canada are fully automated.

• Blurry or scratched barcodes: The scanner can’t identify the product, so the system automatically classes it as unidentified stock.
• Dented or torn packaging: TikTok Shop refuses it for safety and presentation reasons.
• Labels in the wrong language: Canada requires bilingual (English–French) labelling for certain product categories.

If you ship straight from Vietnam without a quality check (QC) at a local warehouse such as one in Mississauga, the risk of returns is very high, and round-trip shipping then costs many times more than the goods themselves.

Cost comparison: doing it yourself vs fulfillment in Canada

To make it concrete, here is a cost comparison between flying over yourself or asking relatives to handle things informally, and using a professional fulfillment service in Mississauga, Ontario.

5 steps to relabel damaged goods at the Mississauga warehouse

To fix things as fast as possible without disrupting your TikTok Shop sales, the standard process at the transit warehouse is:

Step 1: Receive the damaged goods and inspect them

Goods shipped from Vietnam or transferred from elsewhere arrive at the Mississauga warehouse at 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6. The warehouse team opens the boxes, checks how badly the packaging is damaged and sorts the products.

Step 2: Remove the old packaging and clean the surface

Products with torn plastic or dented boxes have their old outer packaging removed. Staff clean the product surface so the new label’s adhesive sticks well and doesn’t peel off in Canada’s cold climate.

Step 3: Print and apply new labels to TikTok Shop Canada standards

The seller provides the new label files (barcode PDFs, English/French secondary labels). The warehouse uses professional printers to produce sharp labels that don’t smudge when wet. Labels are applied exactly where they are easiest to scan.

Step 4: Repack in standard cartons

Labelled products are packed neatly into new cartons. Basic packing is usually included in standard fulfillment fees. For oversized boxes or those that need a wooden pallet, the warehouse will quote the surcharge before doing the work.

Step 5: Dispatch and last-mile delivery to TikTok Shop

Once done, the goods get domestic shipping labels and are delivered to the TikTok Shop warehouse or straight to buyers (door-to-door). Domestic transit time within Canada depends on the distance.

Key tips to avoid extra costs

1. Prepare label files in the right size: Make sure your label designs are the standard size (usually 4×6 inches for shipping labels and smaller sizes for product labels). Sending the wrong size means the warehouse has to fix it manually, which slows everything down.
2. Declare accurately: When shipping from Vietnam to Canada, list all your goods in full. Two-way air freight from Vietnam to Canada starts at $16/kg (import duties included), so you can easily calculate your margins.
3. Use tracking: Always get a tracking number to follow your order online. This lets you book an appointment with the TikTok Shop warehouse as soon as your goods have been processed in Mississauga.

If you have a shipment with damaged packaging that needs urgent relabelling in Mississauga to keep your sales on track, contact us on +1 888-998-5199 or at info@soleiltransportation.com for the fastest solution.

Soleil Transportation offers relabelling and ASIN changes directly at our Mississauga warehouse, helping e-commerce shop owners fix these problems quickly at the lowest cost.

Why do you need an Amazon FBA relabelling service?

When selling on Amazon Canada, there are many situations where you have to change a product’s labels or barcodes:

• Changing an ASIN or SKU: When you want to merge or split listings, or launch a new sales program that requires a new product identifier.
• Faded, torn or non-compliant labels: Amazon’s fulfillment centres use very strict automatic barcode scanning. A single scratch on a UPC/FNSKU that stops it scanning gets your goods classed as “Unfulfillable”.
• Customer returns: Customers return products in boxes that have been opened or with torn labels. You need to check the product’s condition, repack it and apply a new label to resell it.
• Avoiding Amazon’s high storage fees: Amazon’s long-term storage fees are very high. Many sellers pull stock out to Soleil Transportation’s outside warehouse, relabel it and then send it back to Amazon in smaller batches.

The relabelling process at Soleil Transportation’s Mississauga warehouse

To help sellers as quickly as possible, our relabelling process is kept simple:

Step 1: Create a removal order on Amazon

In Amazon Seller Central, create a removal order to send stock from the FBA warehouse to Soleil Transportation’s warehouse in Mississauga:

• Delivery address: 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L5A 3K6.

Step 2: Send the new label files and detailed instructions

After creating the removal order, send us the new FNSKU label PDF or shipping labels with detailed instructions (for example, whether to cover the old label or remove it before applying the new one).

Step 3: Receive and count the goods

When the goods arrive in Mississauga, our team opens the boxes and counts the actual quantity received against your records to make sure nothing was lost while Amazon shipped it back.

Step 4: Relabel and repack

We use professional label printers so the print is sharp, smudge-free and the correct Amazon size. Each product is labelled exactly where required. Once labelled, the goods are repacked in standard cartons.

Step 5: Send the stock back to Amazon FBA

You create a new inbound shipment on Amazon and send the box labels to Soleil Transportation. We apply the box labels and hand the shipment to a domestic carrier (UPS, FedEx or Amazon’s LTL trucks) for pickup.

Relabelling and ASIN change costs at Soleil Transportation

We understand that operating costs directly affect your margins. That is why our fees are clear and suited to orders of every size:

• General fulfillment in Canada: From just $5 CAD per order (storage, packing and delivery for e-commerce sellers).
• Relabelling fee: Based on the number of products to process in each batch. The larger the batch, the lower the cost per item.
• Basic packing fee: Includes a standard carton to protect your goods in transit.
• Surcharges: Only for oversized or heavy goods, or special requests such as wooden pallets for LTL shipments.

Every cost is confirmed with you before work begins, with no unreasonable hidden fees.

Benefits of choosing Soleil Transportation as your 3PL partner

• Flexible support: Besides relabelling, we can visually inspect returned goods and advise you on whether they can be resold.
• Affordable domestic shipping: With domestic shipping within Canada and to the US from $35 per parcel, we keep down the cost of sending stock back to Amazon FBA once the labels are fixed.

The best solution for eBay sellers today is to send returns to an intermediate warehouse in Canada, inspect them, put on new shipping labels and sell them to the next customer. Here is the step-by-step process for handling returns in Canada at Soleil Transportation’s Mississauga warehouse.

Why are orders to Canada returned (RTS)?

There are many reasons an eBay order shipped to Canada comes back, most commonly:

• The buyer entered the wrong address or postal code, or left out the apartment number.
• The customer wasn’t home when the courier tried to deliver and didn’t collect the parcel from the post office within the holding period.
• The customer changed their mind or refused to pay import duties (if any).

When this happens, domestic carriers such as Canada Post or UPS automatically send the parcel back to the return address on the label. If you use Soleil Transportation’s fulfillment service, that address is our warehouse in Mississauga.

How returns are handled and relabelled in Mississauga

To help sellers save money and resell products quickly on eBay, Soleil Transportation offers a closed-loop returns process with these steps:

Step 1: Receive and sort returns

When the courier delivers a return to the warehouse at 2446 Cawthra Road, B1U8, Mississauga, Ontario, our staff scan the original tracking number to identify which seller it belongs to. We photograph the outer box and update the status in the management system so you are kept informed.

Step 2: Quality control (QC)

At the seller’s request, our staff open the box and inspect the product in detail:

• Is the product intact and brand new, or scratched or damaged?
• Are all accessories, packaging and labels still there?
• Has the previous customer opened the seal or tried the product?

If the goods are still in good condition, we repack them in a new carton (included in Soleil Transportation’s basic packing fee), ready for the next sale.

Step 3: Store until resale

Products that pass inspection are stored in our warehouse. With fulfillment in Canada from just $5 CAD per order, sellers can leave stock in Mississauga until a new eBay order comes in.

Step 4: Apply a new shipping label and send to the new customer

As soon as you make a new sale on eBay to another customer in Canada or the US:

• Create a new order in Soleil Transportation’s system and upload the new shipping label.
• Our Mississauga team takes the product from the shelf and applies the new label over the old one, or uses a new box if needed.
• The parcel is handed to a domestic carrier for delivery to the new buyer.

Key tips to reduce the cost of returns

To keep returns handling in Canada smooth and avoid extra costs, sellers should keep these points in mind:

• Set the correct return address: Always set Soleil Transportation’s Mississauga warehouse as the return address in your eBay account. This stops goods being sent back to Vietnam at great expense.
• Watch your tracking numbers closely: Use online tracking with your order or booking number to spot orders marked “Delivery Failure” or “RTS” early. Contact the customer right away to help them collect the parcel before the post office sends it back.
• Use the Mississauga warehouse to sell into the US: Soleil Transportation’s warehouse is strategically located close to the US border. For high-value returns, you can relabel them and ship to the US through our North American domestic services from just $35 per parcel.

To start optimising your returns process and protecting your eBay cash flow, contact Soleil Transportation on +1 888-998-5199 or at info@soleiltransportation.com. Our team in Mississauga is always ready to help you check stock, relabel and ship quickly, in just 7–12 business days.
