UPS and Happy Returns have expanded their Return Bar® network to 10,000 locations across the United States, strengthening their position as the largest box-free, label-free returns network in the country. The expansion adds more than 1,700 new sites through partnerships with Annex Brands and PackageHub.

The growth improves accessibility, with 79% of the U.S. population now living within five miles of a return location. The network allows consumers to return items without packaging or labels, receiving immediate refunds at drop-off points.

UPS said the system integrates fraud detection and logistics optimization, enabling returns to reach retailers in as little as 3.6 days, with an average transit time of seven days.

The company highlighted the expansion as part of its strategy to simplify e-commerce returns and enhance the end-to-end customer experience.
