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.
