Balmain for H&M Returns Trickle Into Stores

The returns are in: a few Balmain for H&M returns are back on display at H&M stores.

A few Balmain for H&M returns have started to trickle in.   My local store has several pairs of women’s pants (velvet and suede), bandeau tops (which probably never sold), oversized clip-on earrings,  caged booties, over the knee boots and men’s boots. The surprise for consumers is that if you buy one of these Balmain for H&M items, you can’t return them for a cash credit, you can only receive store credit. This is a sly way for H&M to deter the many folks trying to sell items on eBay from bringing them back.   And if you’ve looked at the Balmain for H&M items listed on eBay, then you know that many of the items with inflated price tags are not selling.  That means that eBay sellers may have to bring their prices down in order to sell.  If they don’t sell their Balmain for H&M items, then they will have to settle for store credit when they go to make returns at H&M as the 3 day return window has ended.
