63% of consumers said they order multiple sizes or versions of the same item, with the intention of returning what they don’t want, according to Narvar.

Holy fucking shit. The degree of waste is astonishing. I can't believe this number is so high. Fuck everyone who does this.

That sounds like more effort than just going to the fucking store.

Or better yet a thrift store. There is for a massive surplus of clothes and even Goodwill's have brand new brand name clothes for a few bucks, all over the place.
