free returns

No-cost send-backs

Free returns is a retail policy allowing customers to send back purchases without paying shipping or restocking fees.

The term appears constantly in e-commerce: free returns within 30 days, free returns on all orders.

The policy reduces buyer hesitation but has become a point of friction as retailers tighten return windows and add restrictions.
