The piece also highlights the growing role of AI in return prevention – from more accurate product descriptions to predictive sizing tools and personalized recommendations – helping shoppers make better-informed decisions upfront.

ePost Global emphasizes that sustainable return management is no longer just a logistical concern: it’s a competitive differentiator. Read the full piece to learn how leading retailers are turning returns into a strategic ESG win.
