Similar to Doddle’s research conducted in May 2020, the survey found that the returns experience continues to play a significant role in respondents’ opinions of a retailer (87 percent vs. the earlier 84 percent). Interestingly, this was particularly true of older shoppers in this most recent survey, with 93 percent of those over age 55 feeling this way. In addition, the findings showed that more than three quarters of respondents (76 percent vs. the earlier 74 percent) felt that retailers should do more to improve their returns experience.

The research also demonstrated COVID-19‘s continued impact when it comes to the desire for shopping-related ease, clear communications and reduced costs, including for the quickly approaching holiday season. 59 percent of consumers said that the convenience of ecommerce returns has become more important to them since the coronavirus outbreak struck.

The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all US adults (aged 18+).
