"Are 90-Day Returns Starting Early?"

Not yet, BUT do you have items that won't ship for several days in the future? If items won't be available or won't ship until 11/1 that MIGHT explain it. Otherwise, you were just chosen by Amazon on a whim to give away your money!

I think it was nice of Amazon to let APPLE get preferential treatment like this /S ---

Amazon dropped this a while back --

Returns window to be extended for 2024 holidays

Similar to previous years, our standard returns window will be temporarily extended in anticipation of customers shopping early for the holidays.

Our 2024 Extended Holiday Returns policy requires that items bought between November 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024, can be returned until January 31, 2025, except for Apple brand products, which can be returned until January 15, 2025.

This policy applies to seller-fulfilled, FBA, and Amazon Retail orders.

Although the returns window for orders will be extended, returns eligibility for all orders remains the same.

For more information and to view returns eligibility for each category, go to About our returns policies.

Another issue with trading volume for profit during the holiday season is the additional fees and the extended return window Amazon offers to Buyers. The extended window creates a much big fraud opportunity for our products, I dread selling a lot of units during the holidays due to the late/fraud returns.

I would agree that lower sales with higher margins is a much better business strategy on this platform.

Best regards & Happy Holidays!
