In a recent study conducted by Omnichannel returns management expert ReBound Returns in London, data from one million returned orders for retail clients was analyzed over a 10-month period, between July 2025 and May 2026. The research uncovered a staggering £29 million worth of potentially fraudulent returns, highlighting a significant challenge in retailers' capacity to identify and deter fraud on a large scale. The analysis further revealed that return rates have surged to nearly 20% of all online sales, amounting to a market worth approaching $850 billion in the United States alone.
