Walmart’s new service will eliminate biggest hassle of online shopping

by
Walmart online returning service

Returning bought products online is one of the biggest pain customers usually have to deal with. But, now the famed retailer Walmart has announced to introduce a new service to make the returns process easier.

According to the details, Walmart enables shoppers to return an item without leaving the house as they will be able to leave a package at their door for FedEx delivery drivers to pick up.

Customers can start the return process online, select a date for their item to be picked up, print out and attach a shipping label, and leave the item for FedEx to pick up.

The retailer says the new carrier pick-up option is free and will be available to customers in regions where FedEx offers its small parcel pick-up service.

Moreover, Walmart has also worked to speed up the refund process so customers can get their money back as soon as the next day.

Despite the spike in online ordering, major retailers like Walmart and Amazon have still relied on customers manually returning items — printing a label at home or at a drop-off location and bringing the item to a shipping center. While Amazon offers the option to have your parcel picked up by UPS, the service costs extra to use.

by
Shibli Faraz

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz has on Monday said that the opposition had proposed 34 out of 38 amendments in the National Accountability Ordinance to hide corruption of its leadership committed in the past.

While addressing a news conference in Islamabad, Shibli Faraz said the government will never offer any kind of NRO to the opposition.

He said the opposition proposed that NAB should not have powers to take up cases reported before 1999 and should only take notice of corruption cases reported in the last five years.

The Minister said another proposal is to change the definition of Benamidars, giving free hands to make corruption in the name of wife and children.

It was proposed to allow convicts to contest elections till final disposal of their cases and disqualification should be up to only five years, he added.

He said opposition desired to make redundant the international mutual legal assistance law and dealing it under law of evidence of Pakistan.

The minister said these amendments if incorporated will grant corrupt leaders of opposition an NRO plus, making the NAB practically dysfunctional.

The opposition attempted to create a divide among institutions responsible for country’s security, added Shibli Faraz.

He said things are improving in all sectors, which is evident from the fact that country’s exports are now increasing with every day.
