Kohls Announces Expansion of Amazon Returns to All Kohls Stores Nationwide

Amazon customers will now have free, easy returns in all Kohls stores starting this summer


MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis., April 23, 2019  Kohls (NYSE: KSS) today announced that all Kohls stores will be accepting free, convenient, unpackaged returns for Amazon customers starting in July.  Kohls and Amazon first worked together in 2017 to pilot the returns program, which is currently operating in 100 stores in the Los Angeles, Chicago and Milwaukee markets. Kohls and Amazon will roll out the program to all of Kohls more than 1,150 locations across 48 states. Kohls will accept eligible Amazon items, without a box or label, and return them for customers for free, providing additional service and convenience to Amazon customers.   


We are thrilled to bring Amazon Returns at Kohls to all of our stores across the country, said Michelle Gass, Kohls chief executive officer. Amazon and Kohls have a shared passion in providing outstanding customer service, and this unique partnership combines Kohls strong nationwide store footprint and omnichannel capabilities with Amazons reach and customer loyalty. This new service is another example of how Kohls is delivering innovation to drive traffic to our stores and bring more relevance to our customers.


Amazon Returns at Kohls creates convenient locations for Amazon customers to return eligible Amazon.com merchandise to their local Kohls store. These items can be returned free of charge regardless of return reason and regardless of whether the items are packaged or unpackaged for shipping. Kohls will package and send all returned items to Amazon returns centers on behalf of customers, making the return process even easier.  


Last month, Kohls also announced that it will expand its product relationship with Amazon by carrying Amazon products in more than 200 stores.
