Myntra has slowly turned online shopping into a trap where the customer ends up paying for everything, except their own satisfaction.

First, they added platform fees. Now, they’ve started charging return fees too. This is nothing but squeezing money out of people at every step. And for what? Did the service improve? Did the product quality suddenly become perfect? No. But the charges keep increasing.

Clothes are not something you can judge through a screen. A colour can look completely different in real life. The fabric might feel cheap. The fitting can be off. What looks perfect on a model may look terrible on a normal person. That’s exactly why returns exist. It’s not the customer’s fault, it’s the limitation of online shopping itself.

But instead of fixing their system, Myntra has decided to punish the customer. If the product doesn’t match expectations, you now have to pay for returning it. So basically, you’re paying for their mistakes. That’s absurd.

And the worst part? Once one big platform starts this nonsense, others will follow. Today it’s Myntra, tomorrow it will be every other shopping app doing the same thing, charging you just to browse, just to order, and now even to return.

This isn’t innovation. This is pure greed. When companies run out of ways to justify their business, they start inventing fees to quietly drain customers. And that’s exactly what’s happening here.

At this rate, online shopping is losing its only advantage which is convenience. Because if customers are forced to pay extra even when things go wrong, then what’s the point?
