Amazon return so easy

Rockycoast — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 10:43:57 GMT

I received an order from Amazon yesterday. Not what I had ordered. That is a first in all my years shopping with "A". Return was so easy. Took less than 20 seconds at the UPS store. Did not need the envelope the item came in. Just put it back in its' plastic bag, drove 5 minutes to the UPS store, handed it to the clerk. She scanned the print out, took it and done. No charge for returns. Refund was already in my account when we got home 30 minutes later. Love companies that make things easier not harder to return.

My husband did the same thing yesterday, by the time he go home from his other errands we got our refund. This is one of the many reasons I like Amazon. When we did our reno last year we ordered many things from them including a glass stall shower, which arrived broken, they got us in contact with the company that sold it and we got a replacement with out returning the broken one.

I agree, Amazon returns are so easy, by the time you get home from dropping off the package you get confirmation that a refund has been processed for the return, I like that!

I'm around 8 miles from a UPS store and the store is off our busiest street. I am not a fan of returning orders. I think my only returns to Amazon was a couple orders of pairs of shoes that didn't fit. I do appreciate the quick refund.

Agree with you all re: Amazon returns...NO CHARGE, and refund happens, practically, as soon as I fill out the return form and before I even drop it off at UPS, which, like others have said, is only a few minutes up the road from where I live. SO easy! SO efficient.

As opposed to a return I had to do for QVC last week (those Prive' Reveaux set of two readers were a no go...bad cheap, couldn't keep clear lenses, and bad fit for me, cute as the colors were.) $7 will be deducted from my $15 1st easy pay installment, ugh.

Such a waste I try not to buy anything I'm not sure of on Q for this reason...but, it does happen. Never thought these wouldn't work out; I had other PR that were good, in the past. And, made my return over a week ago, usually returns/refunds don't even show or process in the QVC system for 2-3 weeks later. It is a deterrent to my "trying" certain items on Q, but owell....the complaints have been many over the years, don't think they plan on or maybe can afford to lose that income stream.

I make amazon returns at our local kohl's store. It is very easy. This is another reason I order often from them.

I totally agree! Amazon is more than convenient and their return/refund policy is excellent! Many options are available too for returns, such as Kohl's, UPS, Whole Foods, etc.

I also like the fact that there are so many more item/product choices to pick from when looking for something, than you would have in any local or online stores or shopping channels. I recently bought a new pair of Skechers on Amazon at a Great Price. I wasn't sure if I needed a size 8 or an 8 1/2, so ordered both and returned the one that didn't fit at Kohls, which is 5 minutes away from my house. Refund was done by the time I got home.

I'm not usually one who returns things but received a broken picture frame once from them. I arranged for a pickup and reorder. I received the new one the next day, in advance of them even picking up the broken one. Can't get better than that!

Amazon gives options for package drop-offs other than the UPS stores, our local Kohl's did away with Amazon returns, another option given by Amazon was to drop off at a local CVS in the area, luckily for us there are (2) UPS stores within a 3 mile radius from our house.

Yes!!! I'll order from Amazon any day before I'd order from QVC.

QVC returns are a hassle and cost and you have to pack it up or pay for the UPS store to pack it. Amazon order?.........here you go and here is the code to scan on my phone. Thank you, goodbye. Return is in my bank before I get home!

@snipsnapsnur I order almost everything from Amazon. We even get some food items from there. I get all my drugstore items and a lot of art supplies the next day. It is easy to return w/o any hassle.

Yesterday, I needed to return an item to Amazon for the first time. I took it to Staples, and had the refund in a couple of hours. It was so easy.

@SoCal Bred My WholeFoods also has a drop off counter for Amazon. That's just up the street.

Another business with easy returns is Wal-Mart. You can take your returns to any Wal-Mart. If ordered online, you have a choice of ways to return including having an item picked up curbside in the pickup area. I've done that when I'm picking up groceries. No need to go into the store! If you're a Wal-Mart+ member, you can choose at home pickup, and that is the bee's knees! You just select the time frame you want the item picked up, and voila! They scan the code that is sent to you and take your package. All free!

@Rockycoast As wonderful as Amazon is with fast deliveries and easy returns, be sure to read the descriptions carefully. A few times I've wanted to order something, it said "no returns". I stayed away from that item and vendor.

Amazon does sell items that you cannot return and items that cost to return. Pay attention to what you order.

I did not realize CVS was an option for Amazon returns. CVS is closer to my house. Thank you! I need shoes and difficult to fit.

Kohl's is about 60 miles and no local Whole Foods.

@Iwantcoffee Not every cvs is a drop off. Next time you return read the list of options they give you.

I'm in total agreement on Amazon. I am fortunate to have a UPS store less than a mile away as well as an Amazon Hub Locker just as close. I take mine directly to Amazon and yes within a few minutes you have confirmation of your return and a refund. It is true that everything is not returnable so you should check before buying
