US customers will be able to return unwanted items in the nearest post centers, or to notify Amazon, which will take those items on a scheduled date.

Shoppers receive a 10 percent discount when they keep three or four items, and 20 percent discount when they keep five or more items.

The Prime Wardrobe program has more than a million items from shoes to accessories and clothing from women, men, and kids. Customers will not pay extra charges when using the app.
