UPS said it signed an exclusive deal to provide no-box, no-label returns for TikTok Shop’s U.S. sellers through Happy Returns. Participating sellers can use the service whether they handle fulfillment themselves or outsource it to TikTok Shop.
2. How returns work
Customers can take unwanted items to any of nearly 10,000 returns bars inside Ulta Beauty, Staples or UPS stores. Workers scan and bag items, which are combined in large boxes and sent daily to processing hubs.

Happy Returns co-founder and CEO David Sobie said the partnership can mean less return fraud, faster inventory turnaround and a returns experience that builds loyalty for sellers. The service uses an AI tool to flag suspicious packages for analysis and human review.
