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.
