First-of-its-Kind Green Return Policy Inaugurates Green Shopping Initiative at LivinginComfort.com

May 20, 2008 - PRLog -- LivinginComfort.com, an online retailer with over 15,000 home, health and garden products, is proud to announce the first-of-its-kind green return policy. While other online retailers require their products to be returned in order to qualify for a refund, LivinginComfort.com asks their customers to donate the products to their local charity instead. In this way, LivinginComfort.com is creating a win-win-win situation - for consumers, for the environment and for US charities.

The new green return policy at LivinginComfort.com works like this: If for any reason a customer is not happy with their order of $75 or less, LivinginComfort.com will refund the purchase price in full after the item has been donated to a local IRS-approved charity. This eliminates the need for packing materials, shipping boxes, and gas in returning the item to UPS and for UPS delivery back to back to the warehouse, that means less time and hassle for the customer, as well as the satisfaction that comes from making a charitable donation.

According to Josh Wilbur, Co-founder and President of LivinginComfort.com, "We have decided it's time to do our part to help the environment by promoting a green shopping experience with our unique green return policy."

There a number of reasons why shopping at LivinginComfort.com is good for consumers and for the environment:

* LivinginComfort.com products are stored in a central warehouse, requiring less space and fewer resources for heating, cooling and lighting. (Whereas malls and department stores utilize more space and resources for consumers to browse through their products.)

* By carrying dozens of items at a time, delivery trucks emit less carbon into the environment than individuals driving to a variety of stores.

* UPS maps its deliveries to increase the efficiency of its drivers so they avoid (longer) gas-wasting routes.

* LivinginComfort.com carries Energy Star certified appliances and natural products, all of which promote a green and healthy home environment.

* LivinginComfort.com offers energy-saving tips.

* LivinginComfort.com has the first-of-its-kind green return policy.
