Reverse Logistics: A Complete Guide to E-commerce Return Management

According to Invesp, an online customer is likely to return up to a minimum of 30 percent of the products they order for various reasons. This stands in stark comparison to brick-and-mortar stores, where return rates are nearly 9 percent, a significantly lesser concern.

Furthermore, returns have a negative impact on the environment. Within e-commerce, returned products are the second-largest source of air emissions, according to statistics from the Statista portal. These returns contribute to approximately a quarter of emissions in this context.

Global e-commerce is growing at a rapid pace, with consumer demand driving the majority of this growth. More and more users want to shop online, which is something sellers are adapting to by expanding their offer to e-commerce platforms or to new markets.
