8% return rate is 5.0 points above the healthy fashion benchmark of 3%.
How we calculate this: Healthy fashion return benchmark is ≤3%. We calculate excess returns above this baseline, then multiply by the true cost per return (product cost at typical margin, ~$8 return shipping, and ops overhead). The result is your approximate monthly bleed above what a tight operation your size would see.
