Hidden Costs
Why global returns break brands

Customer Experience
International returns are
10x harder
Most ecommerce brands avoid international returns because they are:

They are expensive, slow, and chaotic.

Each country has its own rules.

Customs processes are manual. And duty relief is nearly impossible without expertise.
Without a streamlined process, brands face high costs, customer churn, and operational headaches.

Global Impact
Why international returns matter
Prestige Goods Need Precision Returns
From streetwear to luxury goods, returns can’t be treated as an afterthought. Higher value items deserve protection from channel leakage, margin loss, and reshipment chaos. Give your team the visibility they need to enforce product return flows that match your brand’s standards.
Returns Equal Revenue, Not Just Costs
One out of every ten international orders now involves a return. A smooth return process turns one-time buyers into repeat customers who trust your brand enough to order again.
You Can Finally Compete Like a Local Business
Your international customers expect the same return experience they get from domestic retailers. When you can offer that same ease and reliability across borders, you remove the biggest barrier to international growth.
