Frequently asked questions

What is the average e-commerce return rate? ▼

Global average: 10 to 30%. Fashion / apparel: 20 to 40%. Cosmetics: 5 to 10%. Swimwear and lingerie: 25 to 45%. Footwear: 20 to 35%. Consumer electronics: 8 to 15%.

How do I calculate my real return cost? ▼

Cost per return = (processing time × hourly staff cost) + return shipping cost (if covered) + product value loss (reconditioning, unsellable). Typical range: $15 to $25 per return.

How much can automation reduce costs? ▼

Good automation (rules + pre-approvals + AI) reduces processing time from 15 min to 2 min per return. On 100 returns/month, that's 20-25 hours saved, or $400-$600 monthly for a staff member.

What does Revert do specifically to reduce these costs? ▼

Revert analyzes each return (rules + AI), auto-approves or rejects clear cases (70-85% of volume), generates the customer email and Sendcloud label. Your team only handles the 15-30% of unclear cases.
