@ccassaday - UPS has recently taken on a role in the returns process for a few retailers, including QVC. You'll notice that if you initiate a return online, you're almost always given the option to select USPS or UPS for your label so you can go to the courier/location nearest to you. When I recently returned an item via UPS, I chatted with the manager, and he mentioned that UPS now does regular pickups at USPS hubs to collect and ship returns, so it seems QVC may be decreasing or eliminating its relationship with Newgistics as a returns agent.
Since your item is definitely on its way back to QVC now, you could call or chat with customer service to have your refund applied or exchange processed now instead of waiting until the package is officially delivered. Good luck!
