High street retailers which offer free returns as some charge up to £50 to send back items

RETAILERS across the UK are charging hefty returns fees to customers who change their minds on orders.

In some cases, brands are simply passing on courier fees, but other high street names are enforcing a charge for every parcel sent back.

For instance, PrettyLittleThing recently implemented a charge of £1.99 per item returned.

In February, River Island angered customers by introducing a £2 charge to return items ordered online.
