I have been asked by a client if the hikashop USPS plugin is setup to work with this service from USPS:
[ www.usps.com/business/merchandise-return-service.htm](https://www.usps.com/business/merchandise-return-service.htm)

Apparently this is a way that the USPS can provide return labels for RMA to customers and it apparently is part of the USPS API.

If somebody has already done the work of integrating it, we'll be happy to pay for it too.

Thank you.

Hi,
Unfortunately we didn't developed any USPS "Merchandise Return Service" feature for the moment ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)").

Thank you for the kind reply. Based on your knowledge of the current USPS plugin, how much of an effort do you think it would be to add this capability to it? We would probably have to create a new plugin using the current one as a base and then add the ability to generate an RMA based on the USPS guidelines.

Is this something you think is feasible or would it require to rewrite the entire thing from scratch? Can you provide any guidance on how to go ahead with a project like this?

Hi there,

Looking at the description of the service I think it's quite different than the existing plugin.
Indeed our plugin is basically communicating with the API to get rates and calculate shipping fees while this service is (I guess) related to orders and users profile.
As it's using the same API you might be able to get some inspiration from our plugin but you probably will have to code something from scratch. Another option is to ask on our commercial jobs forum and see if someone is willing to do it ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)")
