Holiday shopping may be a distant memory, but consumers are still busy. Return season started earlier than ever this year and is just hitting its stride.
Consumers spent more than $850 billion this holiday season — the strongest year in six years — according to Mastercard, but 13% of purchases (or $90 billion worth) will be returned, according to liquidation company B-Stock.
