Predicting product returns with AI

Why are product returns a problem? Large businesses like Amazon can swallow the cost of product returns, and generally account for it, but if you’re running a small business a single return can be very expensive. However, product returns can be a major problem for small and large businesses and it is helpful to identify when this is likely to occur.
