Coupang inbound verification is a two-step review — label check, then certification evidence — that catches problems at the desk before a shipment reaches the Rocket dock.
Under Coupang Rocket Growth, Coupang runs the customer-facing return, pickup, and refund — but the returned unit re-enters your inventory and you still own its disposition. Here's the boundary.
