Maybe clothes?

  I imagine you're correct. Especially with shoes, lots of people order multiple pairs to try on like they would in a store. Zappos, which Amazon owns, even encourages the practice I believe.

    Why not just go to a store at that point? It would be less hassle...unless there is a specific bulk option for trial, that is so much waste and not very environment friendly. The only times I have returned a thing is when it came broken or was radically different than advertised. If the cost of shipping, environment and combined wasted time of everyone involved is higher than the 70% price of the product, then I will put it in the store room or donate it away at some point later.

      You're assuming three things: 1) There is a store that sells the products you want 2) The store is close enough to your house to get to without it being inconvenient 3) The store carries a range of sizes appropriate to be able to try. If you are an "unusual" size (large, small, tall - effectively anything but average for the area in which you live), attempting to try a range of items in a store generally means _the store_ ordering them and having to visit twice.
