You can set only one time period per a warehouse for order packaging. To choose a different order packaging period, create a new warehouse. This method is suitable if you order some products in small batches or manufacture them yourself.

In the Comment for the customer field, describe the steps the customer will need to take to send the return. These instructions must be in Russian.
Example: “Чтобы отправить возврат, упакуйте товар в плотную упаковку и зафиксируйте его внутри. При отправлении укажите адрес получения, указанный нами в переписке. Перевозчик может взимать плату за отправление: сохраните квитанцию или чек, и мы возместим стоимость в случае возврата товара ненадлежащего качества”.
Ozon doesn’t deliver order returns from abroad via its own pick-up points system. You can’t put “ПВЗ” (pick-up point), “пункт обслуживания” (service point), and similar wording in the comment without indicating the delivery service by which you want to get the return. This might confuse customers.
