The core problem here is really "free" returns. There's a nasty feedback loop: consumers return things more often, so sellers make items junkier and junkier because their margins keep shrinking.
- skizm 7y agoWith clothes and shoes though, I won’t even consider buying if there are no free returns. The sizing is too different from brand to brand.
- a3n 7y agoThe sizing is different even within a brand, if they source from different factories. I bought two pairs of jeans from Amazon, same size and model of a pair I already had and fit well. All three were different effective sizes.
- gok 7y agoThat's fine, just be aware that a good portion of what you're paying goes to making and shipping "wrong size" clothes that will typically end up getting thrown away immediately.
