The $890 Billion Problem
Returns Are Inevitable. Losing Money on Them Isn't.
US retail returns hit $890 billion in 2024, with online return rates averaging 16–20%. Most brands treat returns as a cost center — smart brands turn them into a retention and revenue engine.
- 16–20% Average online return rate — nearly double in-store rates (NRF 2025)*
- $890B Total US retail returns in 2024 — a staggering cost burden on the industry*
- ~60% of returns are exchangeable — but most brands lose that revenue to refunds

Traditional Returns
- Email support@ and wait 24–48 hours

Customer thinks: "Still no reply. Forget it — I'll just do a chargeback and never shop here again."
