How Returns Wreck Your Revenue Stream
Each return isn't just a refund; it's a ripple effect that impacts your entire operation. When products are returned due to handling damage, you're left with the cost of restocking, potential write-offs, and unsellable inventory. This disrupts cash flow and often necessitates further markdowns to shift damaged stock.
