Main reasons not to return damaged products in Europe 2021

Published by Daniela Coppola, Feb 1, 2022
A survey from 2021 showed that over four in ten European online shoppers would not return damaged products because the hassle of sending the items back would be more than the merchandise's value. About the same percentage of respondents from six European countries considered the return shipping costs higher than the original price of their delivery.
