Do many companies offer goods on a sale or return basis these days, or is this now a thing of the past?

We have sale or return with probably 50% of the UK sports equipment manufacturers that we use at work.

How does it work exactly? Do you just pay for everything first and then if you don't use certain items within a period of time you can send them back for a credit on your account?

I think we get charged 20% if we wish to return things we don't sell.

Thats how it worked when we used to stock magazines. We would pay for them on a 30day invoice. Then you had a 6 month period by which any you didnt sell could be sent back. You would then get a credit note and you would knock it off the next invoice.
