Commentary: A policy change could speed this up and save a lot of waste.
Amazon’s Prime Day deals are quite wide ranging: Whether it’s cheap phones, appliances, movies or clothing, there’s a decent possibility that some item you recently purchased now costs less money. That’s what I noticed when two pairs of Levi’s jeans that I purchased earlier this month happened to get a deep discount on Tuesday, now selling for $20 less than when I purchased them. When I shop at other stores, a quick visit to customer service will normally nab me that discount post-purchase as long as I’m within a return window. Amazon however doesn’t make it that easy.
Now I’m quite slow at trying on clothing that I purchase, and very much take advantage of Amazon’s Prime Try Before You Buy program in order to further extend my return window in case I need to make an exchange. Buying clothes online often means that an item might not feel right once you are actually able to put it on.
