Happy Returns, the eco-conscious return platform from California that allows consumers to return items from over 300 brands, recently partnered with FedEx to help consumers return items from various brands–like Everlane, Rothy’s, and Steve Madden–at over 2,000 FedEx locations with no box or shipping label.
While Happy Returns previously had various return locations including Paper Source and CostPlus Wolrd Market, the strategic partnership with FedEx "adds convenience while making the service “COVID-proof” since FedEx is an essential business that will stay open."
The Happy Returns return process is simple and requires no receipt, return label, or a shipping box. Consumers simply need to provide their email address or order number to initiate the refund process.
