Have you ever wondered what happens to your Amazon returns?

Earlier in the year, Dave bought an Amazon Basics gym bag that he needed to return. To find out what exactly happens to these returns and where they go, he stuck an Apple Airtag in it and tracked it over the next 3 months. Here's exactly where it went and how I found it.

• Amazon inspects returns for their condition and might resell them to liquidators if they're not "like new". 
• 80% of customers mark items as "wrong item sent" to avoid return shipping charges.
• There is a huge reseller market for Amazon returns.
