If the seller doesn't care and the items are kept new and there is little to no cost burden for them than what is wrong with this scenario? You try on multiple items in a store with no moral conflicts. The only argument is dollars in shipping and processing and I would say that shipping one box is cheaper than shipping two.
You still don't get it. I wonder if there is a correlation between guys with a 2.0 GPA in college and not grasping the concept of return shipping.
As simple as I can put it...as stated above.
If you buy a single item, and not return it there is NEVER any return shipping. The percentage of 2 way shipping is on the order of 20%...maybe.
If you buy two items and return one, you will ALWAYS return one. The percentage of 2 way shipping is 100%. This has a cost EVERY time....not 20% of the time.
And there is more. There is restocking...which requires handling and inspection for tried on goods. As a result, some companies charge a restocking fee...as they should to discourage this unsavory business practice. Some people try on goods with soiled bodies...likely a high correlation to guys who order 2 and always return 1 item...lol.
My guess is math wasn't your major.
