🔄 Return fraud is no longer an occasional headache — it’s a billion-dollar challenge for e-commerce retailers. But fighting every return isn’t the solution.

Leading brands are taking smarter approaches: using AI and behavioral analytics to prevent fraud before it happens, automating donation and resale of unsellable items, and creating clear, transparent return policies that protect honest customers.

💸 These strategies don’t just reduce losses — they improve margins, strengthen customer loyalty, and even support sustainability goals. In the world of e-commerce, smarter returns management is a win for retailers, customers, and the planet.
