63% of consumers said they order multiple sizes or versions of the same item, with the intention of returning what they don’t want, according to Narvar.
Holy fucking shit. The degree of waste is astonishing. I can’t believe this number is so high. Fuck everyone who does this.
But that’s what happens when you make your clothes to sizes that have no relation to the bodies that go in them. Especially for women. What the fuck is a 12?
When I go to a shop, I try on maybe ten pairs of shoes that are all my size before I find a pair that fit my feet and I can actually walk in.
There’s no waste there, it’s like one extra journey to your house when you buy something, no matter how many things you’re sending back. The real waste is when the shop just throw it away because it’s cheap shit not worth processing back into stock.
If it’s such a hassle, maybe don’t sell clothes online. Put it back in the high street where it belongs.
I’m a guy and bought various kinds of 32x32 jeans from Old Navy. None of them fit the same. Some were too tight, some needed a belt, some fit perfectly. If a company can’t even have consistency there is no hope for it in an entire industry.
That sounds like more effort than just going to the fucking store.
Or better yet a thrift store. There is for a massive surplus of clothes and even Goodwill’s have brand new brand name clothes for a few bucks, all over the place.
I can’t go to stores because I need tall and extended sizes that I have never found in a physical store. Not even for shoes. So online is my only option, and even then there isn’t much choice.
Still I only order one at a time by carefully reading the sizes and taking my own measurements. Usually I don’t need to make a return. If I do it is usually such a bad fit that I give up on buying it anyway after returning.
Maybe where you live. Every thrift store within a 20 mile radius of me rarely has anything in my size. And even more rare anything brand new brand name at all. Haha maybe cheaper, but our thrift stores haven’t been as cheap as they used to be before Macklemore.
