Minnesota Shoppers Should ALWAYS Look For This When on Amazon

Shopping online this holiday season? Want to avoid getting a garbage product that you're likely to return? Here is what you need to look for on Amazon to help avoid being left empty-handed for the holidays.

Many online retailers without brick-and-mortar locations, like Amazon, can see product return rates as high as 30% - 40%, compared to brick-and-mortar stores that average a return rate of around 9%.

Avoid The Reviews on Amazon

Reading reviews can be helpful, but with so many fake reviews, it's hard to sift through the good products from the bad ones, that why I'm always looking for this label now while shopping on Amazon.

Amazon started rolling out this feature last year, but I've really only noticed it over the last 6 months or so, and it's now it's the first thing I look for when shopping on Amazon.

How is Amazon Helping Minnesota Shoppers Save Time and Money?

Before digging into the reviews of a product, I'm now looking for the "frequently returned item" warning label that Amazon is now sharing with customers.

The new feature is meant to help customers make more informed purchasing decisions. This label appears prominently on product listings that have higher-than-average return rates, advising shoppers to review product details and customer feedback before making a purchase.

Look For These Warning Labels on Amazon When Shopping From Minnesota

Amazon is also letting customers know if people generally keep the product with a label on some product pages.

I've noticed some items don't have any warning at all, so it could be possible there is not enough data on some items to give a warning either way, but it's something to look out for when you're shopping this year.
