"Americans on GLP-1s Are Overwhelming Retailers With Their Nonstop Returns

Retailers are struggling with a jump in returns, especially in larger sizes, as shoppers on weight-loss drugs shed pounds

Farnam Elyasof, founder of online budget suit retailer FlexSuits, has seen a 50% increase in returns in the past year. When a customer orders the same suit in two or three sizes, 'it’s a red flag,' Elyasof said. In such instances, he is likely to check measurements, ask the client if they are losing weight or advise them to wait to purchase until closer to their event. It helps, but the returns keep coming.

'It’s becoming a real issue,' Elyasof said. 'It’s a loss for me.”'

Shoppers are increasingly buying multiple versions of the same garment, and then sending back those that don’t fit. They are also sizing down through exchanges, returning larger sizes in favor of smaller ones. The share of apparel exchanges where shoppers sized down has risen in each of the past three full calendar years, hitting a high of 14.6% in 2025, according to a review of 38 retailers by Narvar, which manages returns for retailers."
