Free shipping both ways on shoes
One of the biggest trends in online shopping over the past couple years is shoe stores offering free shipping and free returns to it’s shoppers.
One of the most important decisions to make when buying shoes is the size of the shoes. Picking the right size can be tough to do when shopping online because shoppers are unable to try shoes on and every brand can be different. By offering free shipping both ways, retailers entice more shoppers to buy shoes online. If they buy the wrong size, the shopper can easily return the shoes for the right size at no cost to themselves.
Zappos started the trend in 2005 with free shipping and returns. Soon after the other major online shoe retailers like Piperlime and Shoes.com had to follow suit to compete. Shoe retailers like Famous Footwear and Payless Shoes with physical stores do not offer free online returns, most likely because they would prefer shoppers to return their shoes to a physical store. Their free shipping offers are also a lot weaker than their online-only competitors.
