o, this looks really cool, right? The Quick Commerce Boom! - 10-minute deliveries. - 24x growth in 3 years. - Dark stores popping up everywhere. But..... This is the other side which we need to TALK! - Returns Are Bleeding Margins - 30-35% of fashion orders are returned – 55% for COD. - Customers order multiple sizes ("bracketing") due to poor fit tech. - Reverse logistics wipes out 60% of margins. - Heavy Discount Addiction - 19% average discounts on personal care just to drive volumes. -Brands pay “slotting fees” to stay visible, squeezing profitability. - The model relies on burning cash – not sustainable long-term. - Unit Economics Nightmare in Tier 2 & 3 Cities - Blinkit spends more on reverse logistics than actual deliveries in non- metro regions. - Expanding beyond major cities = higher costs, lower spending power. - AND the Big Question: Is Quick Commerce a $100B disruptor or just a FOMO-fueled bubble? Let’s debate. Drop your thoughts below. 👇 #QuickCommerce #Startups #Retail #Logistics #zomato h#swiggy

Zepto ig have introduced Instant Return for such products which reduces Reverse logistics cost. but exept that, there are very less possible ways. Without a return policy, no one will be ordering and thus it's better for brand to face returns expenses than not selling the goods. one thing they can do is to do is add a no of return restrictions like only 5 per month per account. that may help
