Ordered an item too big, then returning cause it is too big!

[wamegun]

I have had 3 separate returns opened this last week by buyers who intentionally ordered an item they knew was too big for them, and then upon receipt of said item sent a message asking if I had it in size xx versus the one they got. After the Oh I'm sorry but no message from me, the return request was opened. I include measurements so the sizing can be the most accurate as possible. And I am aware not every item fits every body the same. However, can anyone help shed insight into why (for example) people are buying size 5x items when they really need a 2x? I had one person who got added to my special list for repeatedly asking if a Size 6x item would fit her when she normally wears a 1-2x. After advising the measurements I still got the same darn question. Ugh...common sense! Where is it at anymore?

Common sense, where is it?

It seems to have left the planet.  

If a buyer orders something too big, they should realize that they are paying for the return shipping if they have to send it back, and take that into consideration.

I know returns are a hassle but many buyers don't seem to stop to think that it is also a hassle for them.  My Mom taught us to be sure of what you are buying before you buy it, because returns are a waste of your time, energy, and money.  I'm a buyer.  I don't buy looking to return.

Hopfully you take returns and since fit is a buyer's remorse reason, the buyers will be paying the return postage back to you.  Sorry this happened to you.  I think clothing sellers have a very hard job.

Have also read of instances where the buyer requests a return but has not done the Math, and does not realize that after they pay return shipping, and original shipping, which comes off the item price, they may get back a dollar, if that.

Thinking of little black dresses, are you?

more like your typo.

Autocorrect has a lot to answer for.

In my case....I don't have any little black dresses.

I do accept returns. And honestly, up until this last quarter I have done a 3% return rate...which is great for clothing. But this sudden spike of returns makes me worry a bit about the future of selling special sizes. I focus on that niche due to having a family of giants and knowing first hand how difficult it is finding a 36-38" inseam or larger sizes. I had a girlfriend who made her own clothing due to the difficulty of finding stuff that fits.

I personally am not a returner. I hate returning anything. I will list it here or give said item away. I am a woman and I know how hard it is to find sizes and I also know I'll be darned if I willingly buy something several sizes too big just to hope it fits. I would rather buy something too small and hope it fits ha!

 Apologies to all!  I really thought I typed common sense there.  Maybe it was auto corrected.  Off with its' head!

Sorry. OP, back story is somehow Dave was shown little black dresses, and he keeps being shown little black dresses.

How bout a new pair of steel toed Mucks! 🙂 Too much work to do to be worried about getting fancy. Mr. Wamegun's idea of dressing up is a Black button down Dickies shirt with black Dickies pants! And the day job let's us computer folks wear jeans and t-shirts thankfully!
