Walmart is making returns 'super-easy' this holiday season

You no longer have to leave home to return an item you purchased online from Walmart.

What you need to know

You can now return items purchased from Walmart without having to leave your home.
Walmart's new Carrier Pickup by FedEx service, which can make unwanted gifts "magically" disappear, also happens to be free.
You will be able to start a return online on Walmart.com or via the Walmart app on your phone.

Just ahead of the busy holiday return season, Walmart today announced that it is making returns easier than ever for its customers. You will now be able to return any item that you purchased from Walmart, without having to step out of your home.

The retail giant has announced a new service called Carrier Pickup by FedEx, which it says will make unwanted gifts "magically" disappear. Not only does the service make it much easier for you to return unwanted gifts to Walmart, but it is also free and will continue to be available even after the holiday season is over.

You can create a return request for any item that you purchased online from Walmart on Walmart.com or the Walmart app. To get started, select "Drop off at FedEx" as the return method. Next, get a return code / QR code. In case you don't have a printer to affix the return label, you can take the package to any FedEx Office location with the QR code. A FedEx associate will then scan the QR code, print a return label, attach it to the box, and ship it back to Walmart.

Even if you purchased an item in-store or from a third-party vendor, you can still start a return online, making returning at the store quicker and easier. Walmart is also opening an alternate location within its stores to make returns and help maintain social distancing.

Walmart says refunds for online returns will be credited to customers' payment account as soon as the next day. For in-store returns, the refunds will be credited the same day. Most of the returned items will be recycled to produce plastic resin, which can be reused to manufacture various products. The retail giant says it has been able to produce around 1.9 million pounds of recycled plastic resin this year, which will be reused to manufacture over 9.2 million new products.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
