Kohl’s, the department store chain, is looking to get into the e-commerce market. The company has announced that it will start accepting returns for items bought online through its website, and it’s offering a $25 credit for each return. The move comes as a response to the increasing popularity of online shopping, and Kohl’s is hoping that its new policy will help increase sales and encourage customers to make more online purchases. Kohl’s also plans to offer free returns on all orders over $50. The move is a good one for Kohl’s, as it can help increase sales by encouraging customers to return products they’ve already bought. It also offers a way for customers to avoid having to go out and buy more items when they’re short on funds.
