Why Free Returns Don’t Always Mean Perfect Fit (And How Tellar Solves It)

Free returns are wonderful—but they can’t replace fit certainty. Too often, customers:

1. Buy multiple sizes of the same item

2. Spend time laundering & returning with no guarantee

3. Encounter sustainability concerns from unneeded returns

The result? Wasted time, wasted effort, and unnecessary returns.
