Revamping Returns

Why retailers need to rethink, rework and relaunch returns.

A Whitepaper by Comestri & ShipStation

2020 saw a fundamental shift in ecommerce.

Despite a challenging year for retailers, ecommerce surpassed levels not expected until 2025. Years of transformation happened in a matter of months as consumers were forced to embrace shopping differently.

But as ecommerce grew, so did returns. In the first week of 2021, UPS accepted 1.75 million returns into its system every day. Every. Single. Day. ASOS UK has a 25% return rate, which increases to a staggering 70% in Germany.

No longer an afterthought, returns are increasingly becoming a more important part of the shopping journey. Consumers are demanding more, and won’t hesitate to switch to a competitor if you don’t meet their needs.
