Abstract
A new model of inventory control with returns is considered, when it is possible for consumers to return (under certain conditions) the products they have purchased. It proved to be that the optimal inventory control strategy in such a system turns out to be four-level.

- 1.
In [4] the inventory control model with returns was called “fantasy”.
