Walmart makes store change and customers will reap the benefits of their favorite products

WALMART has announced that it is expanding its Walmart Restored line of refurbished items with the new Walmart Restored Premium service.

Walmart Restored currently allows third-party sellers to sell a wide variety of used and refurbished items.

While Walmart is keeping the basic Restored service, it is introducing a new premium tier with more benefits for buyers.

In order for an item to be offered under the Premium Restored brand, it must have no sign of cosmetic damage and come with a one-year warranty.

Additionally, the seller must offer 30-day free returns.

Walmart will also try to have all electronics featured under Premium Restored have battery health of at least 90 percent.

Refurbished items must also be restored by the original manufacturer or a third party approved by the manufacturer.

The expanded Restored service is good for the planet too, according to Michael Mosser, vice president and category lead, marketplace, Walmart U.S.

"Keeping products in circulation for as long as possible is more sustainable, in line with our efforts to enable a more circular economy in collaboration with customers, suppliers, and sellers," Mosser said.

"When we take action to reduce unnecessary waste and increase recycling, we’re working to protect the environment for future generations," he continued.

Mosser also insisted sellers will appreciate the opportunities the new tier brings them.

"They have the opportunity to do two important things: broaden their overall assortment and bring top-quality refurbished items to customers," he said.

Walmart will continue to consult with sellers as they expand the Restored service, Mosser continued.

"We’ll continue listening to what sellers want and need as we work together to make Walmart’s resale experience second to none."
