§1 Claim: Clear delivery and return terms may help shoppers; we believe conversion improved this week.
§2 Evidence: Four selected support conversations mentioned uncertainty about timing. No control group; no measured before/after conversion. Quote: "Four conversations are a prompt to investigate, not a conversion study."
§3 Policy: Domestic dispatch 2 business days; delivery 3–5 business days; $5 shipping below $50, free at >=$50. No international delivery. Unused returns within 30 days; final refund requires merchant approval. A100 delivered 2026-10-20; unopened return requested 2026-11-03. Support owner Mia; escalation owner Alex.
§4 Bias and limits: Merchant-affiliated author; funding not stated. Convenience selection; dissatisfied shoppers may be overrepresented. No opposing explanation tested. Recommendation: clarify policy and measure outcomes.
