WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoodwillFinds, a recommerce venture helping to reimagine the future of purpose-driven resale, today announced a strategic partnership with ecommerce return assurance platform Seel that enables shoppers to return any item purchased on GoodwillFinds.com.
Through the partnership, GoodwillFinds customers are now able to purchase return assurance for any item spanning every category on the site, from clothing and shoes, to luxury and vintage items, to electronics and housewares and more, for the ability to make a seamless, hassle-free return within seven days. Unlike other resale platforms, there is no return authorization process. Customers will simply notify Seel they would like to make a return, wait for a confirmation email with the shipping label, and pack and ship their item for a full refund.
The partnership significantly enhances the customer experience on GoodwillFinds.com and makes it possible for the non-profit to compete with the return policies of other digital resale websites. Additionally, it presents consumers with more options when shopping responsibly, as second-hand shopping directly supports the circular economy and keeps items out of landfills.
“We are constantly looking for ways to make shopping on GoodwillFinds.com more convenient for those who recognize the power of shopping with purpose,” said Jim Davis, Chief Revenue Officer of GoodwillFinds. “The new return capability allows us to provide every shopper with a better experience and the peace of mind that you are taken care of if your purchase isn’t quite what you were expecting or doesn’t fit in the way you hoped.”
As a non-profit organization, every purchase made on GoodwillFinds.com funds Goodwill members’ social service programs in their local communities, including professional skills development, job training programs, youth mentorship and more. The Seel partnership ensures that GoodwillFinds shoppers can continue to support these vital community programs, even if they make a return. Returns are facilitated through Seel and do not affect the donations received by Goodwill members.
The choice to shop with purpose not only funds Goodwill's workforce development programs and strengthens communities, it keeps billions of pounds of items in circulation annually, which supports a more sustainable retail economy.
