Remember that NRF is an industry lobbying group. Consider what influence they are trying to sell with data like this.

  >Consider what influence they are trying to sell with data like this. Well? What is it? Getting the government to legislate shorter return windows? Retailers can already declare "final sale" if they wanted to.

    Because if they do declare all sales final, it kills sales. Customers do not like final sale, and regularly go for sellers they trust to take care of them. Generally final sales are only acceptable to consumers on things that obviously have logistical, regulatory, or cleanliness concerns. If return windows were shortened via legislation, it would massively advantage shadier resellers, as nobody would be able to offer better return polices to offset a higher end price.

      What would be the legal basis for a maximum window for returns?
