Amazon is expanding its free return program as the holiday shopping season comes to a close.
The company is letting shoppers return"millions of items" sold and fulfilled by Amazon for free. This includes electronics, kitchen appliances and household items that weigh under 50 pounds. Amazon previously only allowed free returns on shoes, bedding and apparel. Expanding the return policy is the result of the company's growing logistics network, Amazon said in a press release. It has been working on speeding up delivery times and beefing up its own shipping network.
The online retailer said there are now more than 18,000 physical return points across the United States, including Amazon stores such as 4-Star and Books, select Whole Foods locations, roughly 1,000 Kohl's stores and at more than 10,000 UPS stores. It also has nearly 1,000 Amazon Hub spots, which are self-service locker rooms.
