Why
Your Charged a ReStocking Fee on Returned Items
When companies
have return losses such as customers sending
back obviously worn items, or new items that
have been opened and removed from their factory
package that now has to be returned to the factory,
the company must pass on the loss in some way.
Ultimately they raise their prices so that everyone
in the consumer buying pool pays the price for
return abuses across the board. This is a standard
pattern in the retail world that can be traced
back for many years. Why do you think that the
price of everything continues to go up?
Other
things to consider about restocking fees:
1. Companies must pay a transaction cost or
fees on every credit card transaction that a
customer makes – both at the time of the
purchase and the time of refund.
When a customer returns a product, for whatever
reason, the company still must pay a transaction
fee that ranges in percentage points from 1.75%
to 2.85%. Which is a loss to the company ultimately.
2. Humans must deal with any returned products.
So many customers
ask why there is a 20% restocking fees when
all it takes is to put the product back on the
shelf. They often ask – how hard can that
be.
Think
about that for a moment.
When a return package arrives it has to be logged
in by a human. Another human has to open the
box, inspect and verify that the return is qualified
for a refund. Once the return has been inspected
(and is deemed unused) the human has to enter
the information for the refund into the customer’s
account. They have to follow up to make sure
that the refund is processed.
After the
return is completely processed it is then “repackaged”
appropriately. This can mean a variety of things
from replacing the original packaging or returning
it back to the factory for new packaging. This
requires a shipping cost be paid both way. The
cleared item must then be re-enter into inventory
in the software that manages the invertory.
Once the inventory has been updated the item
must be bagged, tagged and then added to its
original bin area.
As you can
see, receiving returned products is not a simple
matter of taking the box, opening it and sticking
the returned product on the shelf.
It is also
important to note that most people who have
jobs expect to be paid for the work they do.
Therefore every return that requires human intervention
is a return expense.
While we wish that some of the processes for
returns can be automated – and many have
been – the human component will never
completely be removed. Which of course means
that it costs a company money to pay people
to manage returns. We also wish that Restocking
Fees were not necessary but when we did not
have them, we consistently lost money and it
could be traced back to returns. Many companies
would prefer to avoid Restocking Fees but do
want to remain in business.
The
Lost Sale Factor
Besides the transaction fees and the human labor
cost of processing returns there is also the
“lost” sale factor. When a customer
buys an item from an online store and they keep
it in their possession for 14 days and then
ask for a return, it means that the store can
not sell that item yet it must ultimately accept
it back, the company has actually lost sales
on that item in the interim.
Necessary
Evil for both Companies & Consumers
When you weigh all the various cost factors
into returns, it should be clear that restocking
fees are necessary evil in the retail world
– both brick and mortar and online.
If companies
do not have restocking fees, check their prices.
You will probably discover that the majority
of companies that don’t have strict return
policies or charge restocking have much higher
prices than companies that are known for offering
great pricing options.
Are
there exceptions to restocking fee?
All reputable companies will not charge restocking
fees when the return is due to the company’s
fault. That means if the wrong product was shipped
by mistake or the products are damaged during
shipping (which will often be investigated by
UPS).
All of the
major shipping companies have learned all the
major “purchasing over the internet scams”
and have many procedures in place to guard against
claim of damage that are an attempt to get a
free return.
Savvy
Internet Companies Regarding Returns
Internet companies have also become very savvy
at spotting returns that are not a 100% unused,
regardless of what the consumer says. Some companies
refuse to take back some types of items that
have history of return abuse. Our Wire Break
locator is one of those items.
While Restocking
Fees charges can be annoying, ultimately they
protect both consumers (from paying higher products
charges due to return abuse) and companies that
are trying to provide an honorable service and
run a profitable business.
No
companies ever get rich from Restocking Fees.
If anything, it helps them break even. Everyone
wins – the consumers do not pay unnecessary
higher prices, companies stay in business and
people have jobs to go to.
