Online shoppers facing higher delivery costs, returns fees

Mia Carter2026-07-01T23:13:36.000Z

bloody hell, everything's gone up except our wages. typical.

Sky Murphy2026-07-01T23:42:36.000Z

facts. my pay hasn't moved in 3 years

Cameron Diaz2026-07-01T23:40:36.000Z

yep just got stung with $15 return fee on a $20 top. guess i'm never buying online again.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-01T23:55:36.000Z

same here, $12 to return something that cost $18. ridiculous

Sophie Ngata2026-07-02T00:06:36.000Z

must be tough for small businesses too. we used to offer free shipping now it's $8.50

Tom Harris2026-07-02T00:17:36.000Z

ffs it's not the couriers it's the greedy companies adding fees on top

Mia Carter2026-07-02T01:09:36.000Z

nah it's the companies padding their margins. couriers are getting squeezed too but not that much

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T00:27:36.000Z

lol remember when amazon was supposed to make everything cheaper

Cameron Diaz2026-07-02T01:01:36.000Z

lol exactly. remember free shipping? dream on

Ben Sullivan2026-07-02T00:41:36.000Z

honestly I'd rather just drive to the store now. at least I get it same day and no stress about returns

Kai Thompson2026-07-02T00:58:36.000Z

as someone who works in logistics, half the cost is fuel and insurance going up. but yeah some retailers r just taking the piss

Tom Harris2026-07-02T01:23:36.000Z

get stuffed. it's called price gouging not logistics

Sky Murphy2026-07-02T01:08:36.000Z

i'm a student i can't afford to be paying $10 shipping on a $5 notebook wtf

Reese Morgan2026-07-02T01:16:36.000Z

business owner here: shipping costs have doubled in 2 years. we hate it too but can't absorb it all

Casey Adams2026-07-02T01:33:36.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed. they just raised prices cos they can. same old story

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T01:42:36.000Z
