Buying loads of stuff online with the intent of returning 99% of it

This practice is destroying online retail. Retailers can't afford the cost of postage, re-packaging, re-warehousing etc....

What do you think? I understand people doing doing it if they are seriously trying to find that ONE outfit. But it's my understanding that a lot of people do it for the 'thrill' and because 'it's fun to get packages in the post'.

Hell, I LOVE getting packages in the post but my usual intent is hoping it all fits and and that I'll keep it. I hate the faff of returning stuff. Nowadays though, companies make it so easy to return things.....it's like a changing room, but at home.

Would be curious to know what you think about the morals of it all.

I don't do it. I do 99% of my shopping online, but I'm incredibly careful about sizing precisely so I don't have to return stuff.

Retailers could massively reduce returns by making sizing consistent for a start.
