Amazaon return / UPS

[micky]

I returned the non-peened grab bar to Amazon today.

They extended the return time to the end of May.

Amazon had 3 options.

UPS Pickup, about $13. Fair enough.

UPS Drop-off, $6. Okay.

UPS Free. Check that and they send you an email with a Q-code, you wrap the package, and take it to almost any UPS**, they print the label.

I asked the woman, what's the difference? She said for Drop-Off you have to make your own label.

So it's more work and more expensive. Why does the option even exist?

**There were 7 people ahead of me in an outdoor line, spaced no more/no less than 6 feet apart. I wanted the guy behind me to be 20 feet away but felt I couldn't say antyhing. If I'm still posting 2 weeks from now, everything turned out okay.

I recall returning something to Amazon where I believe I printed the return label and item was picked up free at my house. I do not have Prime and item only cost about $20 and they also remitted my shipping fee from the purchase.

Upwind or downwind?

Eat beans the night before and no one will want to be near you.

Amazon has always sent me a link to a label I print and I can drop it off at UPS for free. If you can catch the driver in your neighborhood they will take it. They have a UPS store in both shopping centers I go to so the drop off is not that tough. If this is really Amazon and not a 3d party seller they support, you can get a USPS label if you ask. Then the postal carrier will pick it up.

I might well have had Prime when I bought this. Maybe that has something to do with it, that they always have 3 options but the options change if you have prime, and one no longer makes sense.

I should check Returning something I bought without prime, but I don't have anything within the time limit now.
