Ecommerce Return Rate
Profit Loss Calculator
Returns are the silent killer of fashion ecommerce. When you account for reverse logistics, inspection labor, and inventory depreciation, the true cost of a return is often 2x the shipping label.
Our ROI tool helps you visualize the massive "Profit Leakage" occurring in your reverse supply chain. By identifying and reducing size-related returns, which account for 70% of all fashion claims, you can instantly recover thousands in lost margins.

The "Silent Killer"
of Ecommerce.
Returns aren't just an inconvenience. They are a systemic drain on your growth capacity. Here is how they destroy your bottom line:
Double shipping costs (out and back) plus transit insurance.
Inventory is stuck in transit for weeks, missing peak sales opportunities.
10-15% of returns arrive in poor condition and must be written off entirely.
