Returning items is easy through the SEKO OmniReturns online portal. Shoppers initiate their return online, and simply select the “Drop-off In-Person” option to return at any one of Happy Returns’ 5,000 Return Bar locations. They receive a QR code, then proceed to drop off their item without a box or printed label. Store credits, refunds or exchanges are approved on the spot, and returns are aggregated and shipped in reusable totes to a regional Return Hub. From there, items are sorted, boxed in bulk, and returned to a Seko Hub.
