Heh, that’s almost unheard of in the Middle East for example. You have to fight tooth and nail to even get basic warranty. Not sure about the rest of the world

Not sure about the rest of the world, but I would say that the US is an outlier when it comes to return policies.

- wongarsu 8y agoGermany (EU?) gives you 14 days unconditional return for online purchases, and brick and mortar retailers usually match or surpass that to stay competitive with online retailers.
- tannhaeuser 8y agoWhile that might sound like a consumer-friendly thing, the flip side is that it adds to the base price, and worse, returning items adds significantly to the environmental footprint (delivery and packaging). I've worked for large online retailers, and women returning more than half of their ordered cloth items is happening all the time.
- wongarsu 8y agoI agree that it has negative effects for things like consumer electronics, and the system can be gamed (buy and return instead of renting, etc.). But unless we really tighten up the standards for clothing sizes I don't see how you could sell them online without half of them not fitting. Especially with woman's clothes, where form fit is more important and manufacturers seem to take more liberty with labeling sizes.
- vsl 8y agoIt’s nowhere near unconditional and not even close to anything goes culture in US.
