With the advent of online shopping, new trends are emerging. Some of them are leading to controversies. Recently, right after the Navratri and Dandiya celebrations, thousands of people are returning their festive dresses, which is causing a big stir on social media. A video related to this has now gone viral on the internet.
In the video shared by an 'X' user named Nishant Chant, a delivery agent can be seen collecting return parcels in a residential complex. Under the shutters, between buildings, next to trees, there are piles of parcels lying everywhere. While there is a big bag full of return packages, others are being filled in sacks and moved. Even the delivery agent was surprised to see this pile of parcels resembling a mountain. It is clear that all these parcels are clothes bought for the Dandiya celebrations.
The caption 'Dandiya Khatam... Dress Return. Shameless Generation' was added to this video. The video has fueled criticism that the culture of buying expensive clothes online for festivals and special occasions and returning them after the event is over is growing.
Netizens are expressing their anger over the visuals in the video. Many are commenting that this is not morally right and that small traders and sellers will suffer a lot due to such actions. “While some people are struggling to buy clothes for festivals, others are buying dresses for the rich and famous during celebrations and returning them,” one user expressed their concern. “It is because of people like this that companies are introducing 24-hour return policies,” another commented sarcastically. Others criticized the lack of consideration for the effort and cost of sellers as outrageous.
Overall, this incident shows how some people are abusing the convenience of online shopping. This "wear and return" trend has led to widespread debate about the negative impact it has on the e-commerce system, especially on sellers.
