What do department stores do with returned merchandise?
if it is not damaged and still has all the tags we put it back on the racks, shelves, etc. we do that with all returned merchandise snd we make sure that therre are no defects and not all stores mark the price down on worn clothing, if it looks new, smells new, feels new, then to us and our managers, it is new. as for missing tages, we get a copy of the UPC (barcode) and reattach it or we send it back to our vendor and have them re-tag it and then it gets shipped back tto us and we put it back on the shelves or racks.
