Vivobarefoot Second Hand: How Importers Should Plan Minimalist Size Mix and Returns

Set a return reserve and trial cap

Add landed cost, measurement, inspection, photography, listing, customer-question time and return handling against released pairs. Separate fit expectation from physical defect reasons. Build the reserve from the actual steps the specialist channel performs: reopening the record, checking the returned pair against dispatch images, cleaning only when appropriate, updating condition and deciding whether the pair can be listed again. Do not hide these hours inside a general margin percentage.

Cap each model-size cell by pairs, money and review date. Asking prices do not justify expansion before completed local outcomes and reason-coded returns. Review the cap at the cell level because one model and size may create repeated questions while another moves with little support. A transfer, markdown or stop rule should be written before the trial, so slow stock is not repeatedly relisted with broader unsupported claims.
