No More Return Labels?

seedpie — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 18:43:53 GMT

Maybe I am the only one who didn't know this. I spoke with Customer Service and they are discontinuing return labels now. They said to print return labels on my printer but I don't have one. They did agree to send two labels to me in the mail. They arrived in two days. I may not order as much as I did in the past. Shopping locally seems like it could be easier for me.

I've gotten a label in every order I've received from a variety of warehouses, in the past year, including last week. If you don't get one, review "Returns" for use of the QR code. The post office or UPS will make your label.

It's pretty cool...as least to me since I am not a big phone user.

I print my own labels if I don't get one, but that is rare. Usually only when shipping direct from a vendor.

The gal in front of me today at the Post Office showed the clerk her phone, she scanned it, a label shot out of the PO terminal and she was out the door!!

I get them most of the time. What I don't understand and I think is silly is they'll sometimes send a return slip - packing slip - but then no return label.

I don't mind printing my own.

I haven't received return labels for some time now. I have to either use a QR code or print a label. It's definitely more work. I would prefer the label be included.

If you have no printer or have no smart phone then you have to call CS and have them send a label by postal service...snail mail. I have no smart phone to use the QR code but I do have a printer.

Even if it's just for occasional use, I don't see how people can live without a printer. I'd be lost without mine!

JMO, of course.

Get used to it. Very few places include a return label.

@Tinkrbl44 We have people who use the public library for computer and printers. I have friends like that, very frugal and no computer, printer or WiFi. They gave their son $60,OOO towards a new home and pay cash for everything. I notice no emails or Cell phone numbers in a church directory a few years ago for.some older members.

@seedpie - I've been deleting old emails the past few days and yesterday I came across one from QVC.

It was April 19, 2025, to say that they would no longer be supplying return labels and giving instructions on how to return items. You don't need a printer. You scan the QR code on your phone, take the package to the post office (or UPS). They will scan the code and print out the label free of charge.

I thought it was interesting, as I hadn't remembered them sending this email, but I haven't needed to use the old return label system for ages. They're trying to streamline things and save waste and I can't fault them for that. (After all, out of the millions of packages they must send out, how many need that return label?)

My cranky post office clerk said he couldn't do that and directed me to one of those private mail services a few miles away.

My eBay business would be non existent without a printer for labels.

And all those recipes I print out and only get to cooking half of them ha.

@tansy The teeny town where I used to live the PO there couldn't even print out a receipt.

Same here! Didn't know (or recall) that you are also an eBay seller.

Are you aware of any other E sellers here?

I hate printing labels! . I don't care if it's Amazon, Nordstrom or QVC. thank God I don't have many returns, it is work for me. I have printer issues, and I have limited mobility to get to printer. Have to ask husband, grouchy bear. He growls, "don't order stuff you have to return." He's a real problem solver that one.lol. Luckily, I order 3-4 items a year from qvc and had to return one as it was way too large. And I downsized my size even more.

I think some Q pkgs come with label, ones from vendors don't. Haven't figured it out.

I do not have a printer because I do not want one. No return labels....no shopping with me. Easy peasy.

I thought the C in QVC stood for convenience...what happened to that?

The retail world has moved on. I haven't gotten a return label from QVC, Talbots, Anthropologie, J Crew, Target, Amazon, etc in years. It's just a waste of paper and ink to include them in every shipment.

One doesn't need a printer, just a smart phone to show the QR code at the post office or mailing retailer. If one doesn't have a smart phone, that's a whole other story and unfortunately they need a label sent by mail.

could not live without a printer so this has never been an issue for me.

also glad that they are doing what amazon does and offering the QR code form of returning an item.
