Understanding Restocking Fees

Higher inventory costs affect our company’s ability to service customers in a competitive and cost-efficient manner. Therefore, charging restocking fees is the impetus CaseBuddy needs to continue to provide products at a competitive price.

When it comes to small business inventory management, restocking fees just come with the territory. Granted, it’s a touchy subject and companies would love to get away with not having to pay a restocking fee. However, there are valid reasons to charge your customers for returning product.
