There’s also a bidding process for some items that get lumped into a basket of goods.

The average ecommerce store return rate is 18.1% (NRF, 2021)
Return rates for an ecommerce store are incredibly important. Having a return rate lower than 10% is generally considered positive, while having a return rate over 60% is not considered good for business at all.

The average return rate on Amazon fluctuates between 5% and 15%. However, in other categories, such as consumer electronics, apparel, and fine jewelry, the return rate can reach 40%.
https://www.tool4sel...e can reach 40%.
Typically, products with reasonable return rates have less than 10% returns.
Products like books and media: 5-7%
Home, kitchen, and garden, and sports and outdoors: 8-10%
Consumer electronics: 25-35%
Clothing and fine jewelry: up to 40%
Yeah! The returned items are essentially forfeited, and just a cost of doing business. You sell 50,000 units and 300 are returned. No biggie (except for Gaia).
^ Your example is under 1%.

But seriously, in my former life, our products had a 1% return rate. I only recall it happening once with a shipped item being returned. Maybe a couple of times people charged back their order.

My products are just that good!

I think you are right. Depends on the product. And of course the customer.
But when I worked in retail decades ago, it was surprising how many people would just buy, then think nothing of brining it back if was the wrong colour, style, or they just changed their mind. People would buy two sizes of the same thing instead of doing a better job at home to determine the right size before they came to the store.

Drove by the new warehouse at 10AM this morning, there were at least 40 Amazon vans lined up and I suspect that it was the tail end of shipment pickup being that late.

They haven't dispatched my latest purchase yet although, only having put the order in yesterday, I am told it won't arrive until December 4.

Anyone who knows me, would be shocked if that was on my Amazon shopping list.

There are companies that buy the returned merchandise and resell it themselves. Some of them pay as little as $1.00 a pound.

It seems Amazon is overpromising and underdelivering. I've received the following message twice today on two entirely unrelated pending deliveries.
We recently learned that we may miss your delivery promise and apologize for the inconvenience. You'll still receive the item and you can track the status of or make any changes to your order under Your Orders on Amazon.ca

I got the message twice as well… for items already delivered. 🤪It seems Amazon is overpromising and underdelivering. I've received the following message twice today on two entirely unrelated pending deliveries.
