It would cost them $20/hr per validator (burdened).
If only 5 items an hour are bad returns, that's $4 per item identified.
It's likely cheaper to have you, the customer, do the valuation because you might not even realize the issues... And if you do, you might be too lazy to return it. Which further let's the value of hitting a validator.. so the employee would now be to probably find twice as many bad returns per hour for the company to break even.
