Xmas thread about Amazon returns

[oldpotatoe]

Since it's the 'season', and I didnt know this..
NOT a discussion about online buying VS local..this for something I couldn't find locally.

BUT, ordered wrong ones(kid proof cases for ipad minis)..from amazon(1 day delivery, free)..wrong model. Return process started, bar code thing sent and...

return to any WholeFoods..what?? Pretty amazing, IMHO..No wonder brick and mortar is having a hard time..this is easier than returning something to Dillards.

We have a UPS store near the grocery store. We slap a return label on the box and drop it off. (There's also a Whole Foods about a mile away!)

Amazon makes it too easy.

yea, they have some deal with whole foods.

if you shop there and show them your prime membership you get some WF discount too.

also, many of the WF around here have Amazon "lockers" where you can have stuff delivered to if you dont have secure place to take delivery. something to consider in "porch pirate" season/.

They own WF

They also have a deal with Kohl's.
Don't even have to wrap or box the returned item, just go to Customer Service. They bag, wrap and tag it, give you a receipt.
Boom.

Plus if you return to Kohl's they give you a 25% off coupon. Last week I made a return there and got a gift for the wife. Kohl's figures you are in the store already so buy something!!!

UPS store is just as easy for me since it is close by as well. I have used Amazon locker to pick up items when traveling since I do not always know where I will be on the day /time the package will arrive.

I had no idea how many people shop at Amazon until yesterday I was expecting a package, Castelli bibs- and my phone says it's 4 stops away. I went outside to meet the driver expecting him to hand me my package. It looked like he had deliveries for 1/3 of the condos where I live.

They do, since they own them.

My wife recently ordered the wrong item and they did not charge for return shipping! Competition! I live in the middle of two small towns. It’s often difficult to find things locally. We do have a nice hardware and a locally owned lumber yard. But, for other things Amazon saves me time and money and I use prime.

Amazon has made returning so easy, sometimes I even feel guilty how easy it is.

whole foods=whole paycheck

[likebikes]

so does amazon own whole foods or something? it's a little unclear from the comments in the thread

Always good to think about all the people who were exploited along the way to make things easy for you when you shop at Amazon.
