According to Invesp, at least 30% of all products ordered online are returned , as compared to 8.89% in brick-and-mortar stores.
Starting on May 13, 2024, Oh Polly's new rule introduces variable return charges. These charges go up if you send more stuff back. The aim is to prevent people from buying things, using them once,
