Look out, Amazon: Soon you can return items at Walmart in just 30 seconds.
The company will allow customers to start the return process on the Walmart app. Then they can take the unwanted product to a physical Walmart store, hop in an express lane, scan a code and hand the item to a Walmart employee.
The system will be availble in November for items that Walmart sells and ships online.It will expand to store purchases early next year. Walmart also wants to streamline returns for products sold by third-party etailers on its website. It's part of the company's push to establish itself not just as a dominant brick-and-mortar retailer, but as a digital power player, too...
Last month, Walmart announced it was testing a service that lets customers buy products from Walmart.com and have then delivered even if there's nobody home.
