Walmart and Amazon Just Made a Major Move That Impacts Colorado Customers

The amount of things I have in my home because I refuse to actually make the effort to return them is startling.

I don't know what it is, but the moment I purchase something from a store, I immediately forget that I can actually return the item. Looking back, I've maybe returned something to a store a handful of times in my life.

Sometimes, it the process to return items is too complicated. Thus, I end up keeping the dang cat tree that I really don't want nor have any room in my home for.

However, two major retailers are changing up some parts of their return policy to make things just a bit easier for shoppers.

Colorado Customers Could Get Refunds Without Sending Items Back

Well, now some shoppers who reach out to the online retailer requesting to return "low cost items" will get a "refund without return," according to reports.

This means that customers will be able to keep low-cost items that the company thinks is "too difficult or costly to ship back or resell."

Why This Policy Matters for Northern Colorado Shoppers

Retailers like Walmart and Amazon are adopting this policy due to the rising costs of shipping and to build up customer loyalty, according to reports.
