How to maximise profits from retail returns

Returns are a natural part of the retail industry but managing them can be hugely challenging.

Some items can of course be resold but those that are tend to be a drop in the ocean and as a retailer, you end up with a vast array of new and unused pieces, faulty or broken and anything in between.

Dealing with these in-house isn’t feasible for most businesses and you don’t want to end up sending them to landfill. That isn’t beneficial for profits and certainly not for the environment.

So, what is the best option to profitably deal with this massive volume of stock?
