|---|---|---|---|

Note: Actual return rate is typically higher than review mention rate (many users return without leaving reviews); the above is a conservative lower bound. The reason breakdown uses return mentions with a stated reason as its denominator, which differs from the return-mention count on the left (one mention may carry several reasons). Estimated monthly loss uses the unrounded return ratio.
