Is the average online return rate really 15%-30%? What are people returning? My personal return rate is closer to 0.15%.

  Clothes.

  Not sure what size pants will fit you, so you buy a size up and a size down. Return the two that don't fit. We used to do this in fitting rooms, but free returns make your home the fitting room. Much more comfortable.

  Image you treat online shopping like brick and mortar: you want a jacket, you pick 3 or 4 that you like, you go to the changing room, try them on and return the jackets you don't like.

  It varies wildly by product, industry, and gender. Electronics return rates are low, <5% I believe. I have a feeling books return rates are similarly very low. Clothing bought from brands is low, 5-10%, clothing bought from retailers is higher, 20-50%. Womenswear is much higher than menswear.

  Not at all in my case, even something around 20-30%. Why all trousers nowadays are so tight? Why every upper garment is so baggy? You know that sunglasses come in sizes? This smartphone absolutely does not look as in the marketing photos, it's all cheap plastic. American M, Italian M, and European M are completely different sizes.

    American M, Italian M, and European M are completely different sizes. I wish it were that simple. A European M is a different size between stores. Sometimes you get slightly different sizes between the same style garment, in the same color manufactured by the same company.

      There is cultural difference in sizing, then differences in sizing resulting from poor quality control.

Prescription frames and safety glasses also come in sizes. > This smartphone absolutely does not look as in the marketing photos, it's all cheap plastic. Everything is cheap plastic these days. Do your research and don't expect quality materials at budget prices. > American M, Italian M, and European M are completely different sizes. Right, because everyone is always shopping at multiple countries at the same time.
