In the global e-commerce industry, Amazon US has always been the leader, attracting millions of sellers from all over the world. The US market has strong consumption power and a large user base, but at the same time, the return problem is also a challenge that sellers have to face. Especially for cross-border sellers, return processing involves many problems such as high logistics costs, difficulty in changing labels, and limited secondary sales, which affect operational efficiency and profit margins.

So, how high is the return rate of Amazon US? How can sellers handle returns efficiently? Is there a US return warehouse that supports return and change labels to help you optimize return management? Today, let's talk about this topic!

Amazon US market: large volume, higher return rate

1. Market size of the US station

Amazon US is the world's largest e-commerce platform, accounting for more than 50% of the US e-commerce market, far exceeding competitors such as Walmart, eBay, and Target. Whether it is self-operated products (Amazon Retail) or third-party sellers (Amazon Marketplace), the US station has the highest sales in the world.

Data shows that Amazon's global GMV (gross merchandise volume) reached $700 billion in 2023, of which the US market contributed nearly 60%. However, as sales climbed, the return rate continued to rise.

2. High return rate, challenges faced by sellers

According to Amazon's official data, the average return rate of the US site is between 5% and 15%, but the specific situation varies by category:

Electronic products: The return rate is as high as 30%-40%, and consumers often return products due to "performance not meeting expectations" or "minor defects".

Clothing and footwear: The return rate can reach 40%, mainly due to inappropriate size, dislike of style, etc.

Household goods and daily necessities: The return rate is 10%-20%, and many consumers apply for returns due to "buyer's regret" after receiving the goods.

The main return problems faced by sellers

✅ High return cost: If the buyer returns directly to the country, the logistics cost is extremely high, and may even exceed the value of the product itself.

✅ Returned goods cannot be resold: Many returned goods are only damaged in outer packaging and wrongly labeled, but they are still brand new or slightly used. It is a pity to scrap them directly!

✅ There is a great demand for relabeling, but it is difficult to operate locally: Many sellers want to relabel before selling, but if there is no local warehouse support, relabeling is extremely difficult.

✅ Impact on Amazon account performance: Too high a return rate may affect seller performance indicators (such as Order Defect Rate, Return Dissatisfaction Rate), and may even lead to account restrictions or product removal.

Faced with these challenges, sellers urgently need a professional US return warehouse that provides one-stop services such as return relabeling, secondary sales, and inventory management, which is exactly the core business of U-Speed!
