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.

I can't go to stores because I need tall and extended sizes that I have never found in a physical store. Not even for shoes. So online is my only option, and even then there isn't much choice.

Still I only order one at a time by carefully reading the sizes and taking my own measurements. Usually I don't need to make a return. If I do it is usually such a bad fit that I give up on buying it anyway after returning.
