Yes. Outlets allow returns. You can return the product as long as the trademark and receipt are not lost. If the trademark is removed, it cannot be returned. Outlets are translated from Outlets, and many of them are old models of the brand.
Outlets are factory direct sales stores. They lack intermediate links so the prices are relatively low. Outlets are the same as many stores. You can negotiate with the merchants for returns and exchanges. Of course, different regions have different regulations. Therefore, you can ask the merchant in advance whether there is a return service.
Outlets have parallel purchasing procedures with regular stores. Although outlets occasionally sell a small amount of goods off the shelves of regular stores, most of the goods on the shelves are independently supplied by their buyers. The channels are purchased according to outlet standards.
So the cost of Ralph Lauren in outlets is lower than that of Ralph Lauren sold on Fifth Avenue, and the price is also lower. The reason for this lies in people's obsession with logos, and it is also the technique of capital operating the market.
In addition, initially outlets were indeed physical stores directly sold by manufacturers, mainly selling damaged or factory-backlogged products to their employees at prices lower than the market. Later, when someone saw the business opportunities, outlets began to transform.
