Returns happen for multiple reasons — and understanding why is key.
Common return categories include:
- Expectation mismatch: product images vs reality
- Size/fit issues: fashion and footwear
- Incorrect item: picking/packing errors
- Damaged product: poor packaging or courier mishandling
- Delivery delays: customer no longer needs the item
- COD refusal: customer fails verification
- Fraud returns: swapped items or empty boxes
Root-cause analysis requires data across WMS, OMS, courier, and customer support systems.
