$849.9 billion in merchandise was returned in 2025.
Let that number sink in for a second.

That's not just a logistical challenge — it's one of the biggest brand-defining moments happening in retail right now. Because here's what the data also tells us: 71% of consumers say a bad return experience would stop them from shopping with that retailer again. And 80% would tell their friends and family about it.

Returns aren't a back-office problem. They're a front-line customer experience moment. And most retailers are still treating them like an inconvenience to manage rather than an opportunity to win loyalty.

The retailers who are getting this right have two things in common: a clear, transparent return policy and the technology to back it up. Modern POS systems process returns faster, track fraud, sync inventory in real time, and give your team the tools to turn a frustrating moment into a reason to come back.

RTI helps retailers build the kind of return experience that keeps customers coming back.
