Query:
I'm currently writing an article examining return rates linked

finding any hard data.
If you have published research or surveys with information
related to backorders and if they lead to higher (or lower?)
return rates, I want to hear from you.
Requirements:
I would prefer broader data on the subject rather than from one
specific company, but some anecdotal evidence is always useful.
You must be able to share the relevant data/study/survey with me
so I can cite it in the article.

Query:
I'm working on a new series that centers around transitions to
remote work. Here's a short description:
"All the ways people, families, businesses have persevered
through changes due to remote work culture."
I'm open to all ideas, but don't just pitch me that a company
went remote because of the pandemic. Everyone did that. Get
specific. Tell me what's interesting about what the company does.
If you have experts who can provide advice, I'd like to hear
from them as well. It'd be good if they had the chance to put
their own advice to to the test over the past few months.
Requirements:
Please send specific pitches. Feel free to send two or three.
