Product return policies influence purchasing decisions
Returns in e-commerce pose a challenge: According to a recent study by ICSC the online return rate is three times higher than in brick-and-mortar retail. This also has an impact on purchasing decisions.
The online study surveyed around 1,000 consumers in the US market between February 2 and 9, 2024.
82% of respondents said that when buying online, return policies influence where they buy.
If online retailers charged a fee for returns, 71% of respondents would be unlikely to shop with them again. 6 out of 10 respondents said they would be unlikely to buy from retailers that shorten the window for free returns.
