? Strategic brand play or reverse logistics nightmare? | #ecommerce #podcast #learnwithjason

Most brands I know absolutely hate returns.

The reason is simple: reverse logistics, as returns are known in our industry, are massively costly and time-consuming. The entire process is quite disorganized, and there aren't any great solutions specifically designed for reverse logistics in the industry—apart from some basic returns portals that slightly improve the customer experience.

But here's where things get interesting. I talked to Chris Jarvis from YouReturn on episode 122 of At The Cold Face. In our discussion, we dove deep into reverse logistics and how his new startup, YouReturn, is set on making this process a better experience for both merchants and customers.
