Returns Message

Return eligibility is noted with a “FREE Delivery & Returns” message next to the Buy with Prime button. If an item isn’t eligible for returns, it will just say “FREE delivery.”

Shoppers are informed about their free returns benefit at each stage of their shopping journey. This includes on the product page, cart page, and checkout.

Why is this important?

12%* of shoppers abandon purchases because the returns policy isn’t satisfactory. By making it clear to your customers that you offer free returns through Buy with Prime, you give shoppers confidence in making their purchase.
