ation of purchase.
With paint, similarly, we believe that it is also returned primarily
to store of purchase. Because many paint contractors tend to
have accounts at independent and company stores, it is reasonable
to presume that they would return paint to their primary supplier
at the same location. With DIY’ers, it is difficult to characterize their
selection criteria to drop-off paint. (The source of paint dropped-off
at retail stores is not tracked or known.) In the absence of further
research, there is no obvious influential factor.
