They compete directly in thelf markets with other "big box" stores. One hallmark of BBB is their generous return policy which ollows customers to retum ony item ot ony time within 90 doys for a full refund. B8B is also notable because they are much smaller in terms of number of stores - they only hove 20 stores throughout the region. Similar to many retailers, Be8 uses an end of January fiscal year end to allow for less uncertainty in holiday season sales returns. Although BBB allows customers great leniency in their return policy, their return rates hovve traditionally been in line with other retallers, and they estimate that opproximately 5% of their returns are fraudulent which is olso in line with other retaliers. This makes estimation of their sales retum allowances reasonably predictable, according to company management: BEB reports thet historically, epprodimately 10% of all sales are returned, 70% of these returns occur in the month immedlotely following the sole, 25\% occur within the next month, and the remoining 5% mostly hoppen in the third month.
