I am not sure what to advise. It isn't personal.

I just think it's something interesting to think about. there's a lot of things that gigantic companies do in order to eat small business that can't afford to.

Make sure you are doing a better job with item descriptions than them.

I only deal with garment retailers that do free returns including free shipping. They omit exact measurements (sleeve, shoulder, chest, waist, body, close up shots of fabric etc) so I order several sizes and keep the ones that fit.

Some are really good at it and I never have to return anything (e.g., Asket)
