The hosts wear a lot of the clothing they are presenting and some change clothes several time and shoes constantly.  Many times there are a couple models wearing the item.  What happens to all these clothes and shoes?  Do they save them for later presentations?  Do they send them to customers? (I would hope not)

Good point, my guess is they must sell at a deep discount like "as is" clothing on the Q.

You figure people have tried on returns too so not everything we purchase is brand new.

It goes to 'As Is', their outlet stores and they also sell pallets of items to customers who usually re-sell on Ebay, etc.

And it is happily deducted from profits.

Actually expenses are deducted from income to get profits. In the whole grand scheme of things, it’s probably not a huge expense.

I suspect they are sold "as is".

Thanks.  I was watching those fashion clearance shows and it just hit me.  I thought that is a lot of clothes people are putting on and I would imagine getting makeup and fragrences on.

I rather doubt this is hurting the profits.

There is info on this site as to what AS IS items are.  Yes some of them are ones that are wore buy hosts & models.

Why would you hope that woren items are not sent to customers?  Do you think that in B&M stores do not sell you woren items in the store?  Oh yes they do.

Experts estimate that retailers throw away about a quarter of their returns. Returns and resale company Optoro estimates that every year, U.S. returns create almost 6 billion pounds of landfill waste.Jan 12, 2022
