Returns & margin recovery

Treat returns as a root-cause problem — not just a refund queue.

Connect return behavior to SKU, variant, customer, acquisition channel, supplier, region, support history, and margin impact.

Best first step

Returns Loss Audit

Start with diagnosis before implementation so the work is tied to the actual business constraint.

The problem

Why this becomes expensive if it is ignored.

A return-rate percentage does not explain which products, sizes, suppliers, channels, or customer expectations are creating avoidable loss.

The outcome

What the business should understand or improve next.

Identify costly return patterns and route the underlying issue to merchandising, product content, supplier management, support, or operations.
