Ecommerce returns that bring customers back

A return is often when a customer decides whether to buy again. Sydney Standard finds where your returns make that harder than it should be, and fixes it with your team.

Signs it needs attention

The returns form asks for more than customers can easily give.

Customers email to ask where their refund is.

Return reasons are collected, but nothing changes because of them.

What changes

Fewer steps

A returns flow that asks only for what you need, in words customers understand.

Updates before they ask

Clear messages at each stage, so customers know where their return and refund are.

Reasons put to use

What customers say about returns reaches the people who can fix the cause.

Where to start

Returns are covered in the CX Health Check, which takes about two weeks at a fixed fee and ends in a plan of what to fix first. The Fix and Embed Project then builds it with your team.

Questions

Will this change our returns policy?

Only if you want it to. The focus is how the policy feels to customers: the form, the messages and the wait.

Is this only for large brands?

No. Smaller online brands often feel a returns problem sooner, because each customer who does not come back matters more.
