Reasons for return
Ask your customers for reasons for return.
Returns are never entirely avoidable. On average, 9% of all online purchases are returned. It might be that the product doesn’t meet the customer’s expectations, is broken or doesn’t match the description on the website. By integrating Reasons for return into your returns service, you can ask your customers why they are returning an order. This gives you more information about the reasons behind returns and allows you to actively work on improving your service. In so doing, you may be able to prevent future returns.
