Returns are difficult

The sweater was okay but not worth the money. Didn't feel like 100% wool but a wool blend. They make you use USPS to return any items that aren't wanted which is NOT convenient. USPS won't allow you to bring in the emailed return document and print it there like FedEx or UPS. Can't say I'll order online again.
