Hi Mike,
My buro return was around 5% last time I checked. At that time, my LOTW
return was around 25%, and eQSL around 50%.
Today, LOTW is around 55%, and eQSL dropped to around 45%.
I completely missed the meaning of you original question: "Why would
anyone return unwanted cards?"
I read it: Why would they (buros) return cards.

If I need a card, the buro was never the answer. If they are for band fills,
etc sure and I just hope to get something back. I bet my buro return rate is
less than 10 percent.
Just a guess...to let the sending bureau and/or ham know that they tried,
but were unable to deliver the cards, and make 'adjustments'. Something
like the post office returning undelivered mail, instead of round filling
them. I would not want QSL cards to be treated as 'junk mail'.

======================================
Why would anyone return unwanted cards? It sure would have helped the
environmental impact by putting them in the recycling bin........Right?
