To use Happy Returns, online shoppers retrieve a QR code from the website where they purchased their item. The shopper then brings the return item and QR code to one of 1,100+ Hibbett or City Gear locations near them and stops by the checkout counter to drop it off, for an immediate refund and an emailed coupon to use in store once the return is completed.

“Returns are finally being recognized for their importance in the shopping journey,” said David Sobie, VP of Happy Returns, a PayPal company. “Shoppers have no patience for printing labels or boxing items to return via mail and instead overwhelmingly choose to return box-free and in person whenever possible. With the addition of Hibbett’s stores to our network, we now have over 6,000 Return Bars, which means 78% of American households are within 10-mile drive of a Happy Returns drop off location.[1]”
