Purchase-Returning Services

This New Service Will Take Back Clothing Items Purchased Online

Uber launched a new service that will take back clothing purchased online. While online shopping makes it easier to update your wardrobe, it can also lead to many regretful purchases. Uber RETURNS helps you unload your unwanted items by taking them back for you.

The new service gives users the freedom to take back clothing without the hassle of a trip to the local post office. Once you decide you want to return an item, simply toss it into a pre-labeled package and set your pickup address. An Uber driver will then drop by and take your clothing to the appropriate location. The service makes it easier for indecisive shopaholics to order items online and then return them if things don't work out.

Unfortunately Uber RETURNS is only available in New York City through the end of September, meaning impulse shoppers everywhere only have a limited amount of time to try out the handy new feature.
