If they decide they don't want the item, it then has to be returned through the reverse logistics network. This year's seminar will look at the challenges currently being faced by the industry in terms of 'last mile delivery'. Two of the industry's leading players will discuss the day to day trials of delivering retailer's promises, and getting the products back in an efficient and cost effective manner.
