How Fashion Brands Can Reduce Returns on Myntra
Fashion e-commerce has high return rates, and Myntra's easy return experience means shoppers return freely. Every return costs logistics and often the sale itself. The best brands treat returns as product and content feedback.
Find the reasons
Analyse returns by style, size and reason. One size running small or one colour looking different online often explains a large share.
Fit and sizing
- Garment measurements per size.
- Fit notes: "runs small", "relaxed fit".
- Model height and size worn.
- Consistent sizing across styles.
Colour and fabric
Shoot under neutral light and colour-correct images. Show fabric texture and mention sheerness or stretch.
Quality control
Check stitching, prints and measurements before dispatch. Defects become returns and bad ratings.
Packaging
Fold neatly, use clean polybags and branded tags. A good unboxing reduces "not as expected" returns.
Category-specific tips
- Ethnic wear: state lining, transparency and whether dupatta/bottom is included.
- Western wear: fit type and stretch.
- Footwear: foot-length chart.
- Kidswear: age plus height.
Inspecting returns
Inspect returns promptly, restock good units and record reasons. Track return rate by style and size monthly.
When to discontinue
Styles that keep a high return rate after fixes may be better discontinued or redesigned.
Packaging and presentation
A neatly folded garment, tissue wrap for delicate items and a care card make a better first impression and reduce impulse returns.
A 30-day return-reduction sprint
- Week 1: export returns; rank styles by return count and rate; list top reasons.
- Week 2: update size charts and fit notes for the top five styles; add measurement images.
- Week 3: re-shoot or colour-correct images where "colour different" is common.
- Week 4: brief production on recurring quality issues; add a QC checklist at packing.
Measure the return rate of those styles over the next month. Even a few percentage points saved on high-volume styles makes a large difference to profit.
Product improvements
Some returns cannot be fixed with better content – the product itself needs change. Share recurring return reasons with design and production and adjust patterns, fabrics or finishing.
Checklist
- Return analysis by style and size
- Fit notes added
- Colour-corrected images
- QC before dispatch
