H&M makes U-turn over in-store return fee

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

H&M has recently decided not to charge customers a processing fee of £1.99 for online returns made in store, according to the BBC.

Last week it was reported that customers were to pay the fee in order to return parcels both in store and online. 

Now, the retailer has updated its website stating that “there will be no return fee for any parcels returned in store.”

However, non-H&M members who return items online will still have to face the £1.99 fee, which will be deducted from the refund. 

H&M is not the only retailer to have introduced return fees to its customers. Zara, Boohoo, Uniqlo and Next already charge for online returns. 

A spokesperson from H&M told the BBC that the information displayed on the website was “inaccurate” and has since been amended. 

H&M has been contacted for comment.
