The return policy looks incomplete in my opinion and leaves a lot of questions for the customers. This discourages returns by customers as well as challenging the returns policies. My advice to JTC is that it needs to be fixed or else, customers would take matters into their own hands thereby leaving them out of the whole process of returns and loosing on customer feedbacks. 2.

Marketing managers lean towards a less stringent controls and have a lot more flexibility when they are bargaining with retailers.
