I do my reaserch on line to figure out the most economical way to send things back to Q. Flate rate envelopes work a lot of the time- I also use prioirty A or priority B for multiple returns in one package (you need to get these boxes [for free ] from usps.com). I don't pay more than $7 to return items; whether it be the flat rate envelope or the priority  A or B box.  The timeframe for delivery is also MUCH better than Q's return label.

I've tested it and found the return label is the cheaper option for me.  I don't even check anymore.  My returns as of late are due to defective.  I don't have many other returns, but they are sent with the prepaid label.

Using my own label doesn't include insurance so that's another $2 charge minimum on top of the label fee. Unless I'm returning something small and light the prepaid label is always cheaper--not to mention much more convenient. 

eta - last week I sent a greeting card across country. I wanted it to get there quickly so I sent it priority. The cost was $6.65 but it did get there in 2 days. 

And cards can not be insured.

@I am appleblossomdid you insure the package? Depending on the value of the packages contents it can cost quite a bit more than 6.95 to return a package to the Q if you insure it. I wouldn't think of returning anything of worth without insuring it.

@SusieQ_2  If you return on your own at USPS you need to ask if your payment does or does not include some insurance because mine always do if I pay my way. There's $50 ins attached regardless how much it costs to send. So be sure you check this out.
