# What is an outbound?

An outbound shipment is a **removal order** that allows you to retrieve your stock from the Linkolis warehouse. Whether you need to recover part of your inventory, close a product line, or simply get your stock back, outbounds give you full control over what leaves the warehouse and how it gets to you.

#### What you can do with an outbound

* Retrieve **all or part** of your available inventory
* Choose between **home delivery** or **warehouse pickup**
* Track the shipment status in real time from the **Outbounds** page
* Export shipment details as CSV or report an incident if needed

#### How it works

Once you create a removal order from the Inventory page, our team prepares your products, packs them, and either ships them to your return address or holds them ready for pickup. You can follow the entire process through the outbound statuses — from **Created** all the way to **Delivered**.

> 💡 Outbound shipments are always sent **without insurance**, regardless of your default insurance settings.
