Why We Don’t Offer Free Returns: A Transparent Explanation
As much as we value your satisfaction and strive to provide the best shopping experience possible, we’ve made the conscious decision not to offer free returns. We understand that this might be a point of concern for some of our customers, so we want to share the reasons behind our policy and assure you that it’s rooted in fairness, sustainability, and responsibility.
Balancing Cost and Value
Offering free returns may seem like an attractive feature, but the reality is that the cost of return shipping often gets redistributed. Companies that provide free returns typically absorb these expenses into product prices, which can mean higher costs for everyone, including customers who never need to return an item. By not offering free returns, we can:
-
Keep Prices Fair: Ensure that our products remain competitively priced for all customers.
-
Provide Better Value: Focus on offering high-quality products at reasonable prices rather than inflating costs to account for potential returns.
Encouraging Thoughtful Shopping
We believe in empowering customers to make informed and thoughtful purchasing decisions. By not offering free returns, we encourage you to:
-
Check details carefully: Review product descriptions, specifications, and compatibility thoroughly before completing your purchase.
-
Reach Out for Assistance: Contact our customer service team if you have any questions or need recommendations before buying.
This approach not only reduces unnecessary returns but also helps create a more intentional shopping experience.
Promoting Sustainability
Returns have a significant environmental impact. Shipping items back and forth contributes to carbon emissions, while many returned products often end up in landfills due to damaged packaging or logistical inefficiencies. By minimising returns, we aim to:
-
Reduce Carbon Footprint: Cut down on the emissions generated by return parcel.
-
Lower Waste: Decrease the number of items that are discarded unnecessarily.
Our commitment to sustainability is a core part of our values, and we appreciate your understanding and support in this effort. For any returns we unable to re-used internally in our own print farm as spares, most are usually re-sold at lower cost
