Yes and the cost of shipping amazes me, I used to have a drop ship online store years ago and I can't imagine doing it today with the likes of Amazon and Walmart. Everyone wants everything within 24 hours now.

Yes, it will be a challenge for small online businesses, but they could turn it around in their favor. If it is handcrafted or a tailor-made product for a specific customer, you could have a "longer" lead-time.

Wow, that is an amazing stat Martin, I know I've done that myself. It's too expensive or timely to do the return.

Lisa: Yeah, it could cost the e-commerce owners an "arm and a leg," if they don't have all the ducks in a row... ;)

As a former purchaser, I understand that supply chain management has an important role in today's online business.
