Just Order All Three Sizes.

Besides, the shipping and returns are free. Um. NO. They aren’t.

While I was at the gym this morning, I watched a short piece on returns. This year, retailers are expecting $100 billion.

Yep.

You read that right.

While their piece was a jocular discussion about how easy retailers are making it for us to send stuff back, IT’S NOT FREE.

Not even.

Let’s start with this:

'It's pretty staggering': Returned online purchases often sent to landfill, journalist's research…

So those very expensive, designer duds you ponied up treasure for are now land fill? Why don’t they just give them away if they’re that useless?

Not only that, but please: all the costs of airline fuel, the semis and trucks and cars that clog the air and road and add to our pollution just so that you can order all three sizes and send two back? The human cost of the inhuman conditions of folks who work for Amazon?
