Tanger Factory Outlet Centers is partnering with low-cost shipping service LugLess to support busy holiday shoppers this season so that they can enjoy bag-free shopping experiences. With this partnership, shoppers will be able to make purchases directly from the outlet and have them sent to a domestic address. Launching later this month, the service is designed to save people from having to lighten the load or save people the hassle of having to pick up parcels from a second location, such as the post office.
Within Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, shoppers can look for the LugLess+Tanger-branded self-service kiosks to make the most of the Shop. Ship. Smile program. As part of the service, complimentary boxes and shipping supplies are available and gift-givers may also choose to include personalized letters with their shipments.
