Some companies say keep the items as holiday returns cost them big

WASHINGTON (TND) — The holiday shopping scramble is over, but now supply chain issues are now impacting the inevitable gift returns.

Processing returns is costing retailers more money.

Axios is reporting that those businesses are passing higher prices on to the customer due to product shortages and supply chain stress.

In some cases, returning unwanted gifts is becoming so expensive for retailers that they’re telling customers to keep the items and issue refunds anyway, namely online giant Amazon.

2. Target and Walmart are doing this now, too.

My no-return replacements/refunds were for items assumed lost by FedEx in November. They said the items might eventually show up anyway, and if they did, I should just keep them. They did. So I did. My daughter received a much needed free couch this way.

3. Got an unordered package from Amazon stuffed with kid's toys. They told me to keep it.

Nothing I can use. I'll take it to Salvation Army.
