Order volume estimated from publicly available e-commerce revenue data. 5% address error rate is the industry benchmark (1 in 20 orders). Carrier correction fees are published rates. Reshipment and support costs use industry averages. Your actual exposure may differ. Windsor ships internationally, which typically increases error rates by ~20%.
That's equivalent to 1,286,903 free orders you could fulfill instead — or 1828 hours of logistics team time per month spent resolving address issues. International addresses have 20% higher error rates than domestic.
