« This exchange feature took every problem away. It’s also saved a lot of revenue — saving us $125k in the last 90 days. Historically, those would have just resulted in a dead refund. That amount will only keep going up as we get more and more returns. »
Nikolas Callas, Director of Operations Marc Nolan
