WM Sells Clothes Online--Again

Wal-Mart has figured out how to compete with low-cost competitors selling clothes online, and has decided to re-enter the market:

The world's largest retailer announced it will offer more than 15 apparel brands, including exclusive Wal-Mart brands such as George, Faded Glory and White Stag, at its walmart.com site.

Walmart.com spokeswoman Amy Colella said that the company pulled apparel from its online offering due to high order fulfillment costs back in 2001....

The company said customers who need to return apparel purchases can do so using the U.S. Postal Service or by returning it to a local Wal-Mart store.
