I returned a item this morn and failed to use the prepaid label because it would be cheaper.  Well the pkg cost over $8.00.  I was shocked.  I will always use the prepaid label from now on $6.95 is much less than $8.65.  I learned my lesson.

It depends on weight & distance. I am in Philly and I never use the prepaid label for small items. If I pay up front it is cheaper, my return gets to QVc quicker and I get my refund quicker. So for me paying up front is the way to go.

I learned my lesson a long time ago - never buy clothing!  It never fits and I hate to pay for the privilege of trying something on!

I always check the weight and cost of the item before choosing to pay or use the Q's return label.  Annoying, I know.

@I am appleblossom  Here's what I do when I think I can return it cheaper - take both the prepd and your own label, head to the USPS and have them check it. Send accordingly.

If I combine orders then it's cheaper to use my own label....not to mention much faster!

I usually use my own label which I attach.  I ask the post office to weigh it and if it is more than the prepaid label, then I paste the prepaid label over my own label.

 Carefully check your refund when you get it.  They usually charge you the $6.95, even though you paid for the shipping. Call and tell them to remove it.
