    The growth of ecommerce returns<\/h2>\n

    The numbers tell a compelling story: ecommerce return rates are significantly higher than brick-and-mortar returns, often ranging from 20% to 30% for apparel and accessories. This amounts to hundreds of billions in annual returns<\/a>. For retailers and brands, managing this reverse flow of goods presents both operational challenges and significant costs.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
