amazon returns

[Mplace]

so if the seller is amazon then it does not hurt anyoneexcept for amazon?

description didn't match option isn't there if it's sold by Amazon, iirc

[Mplace]

I've done it before (sticking items requiring paid shipping label in same box with free shipping label) and they charged me shipping fee anyway.

you opted to pay for your own shipping?

[Mplace]

Aside from all that, Amazon shuts down frequent return abusers. They know the descriptions can't be wrong on every other item you order.

is there an algorithm by 'frequent returns'?

[AJK]

you opted to pay for your own shipping?

Yes.

[Mplace]

Yes.

wow, what did they charge you, you sent it on your own..

[AJK]

No, I stuck it in a box that was already going back to Amazon.

FYI doing that makes a lot of damage to the item on amazon and to the seller.

What if it's sold by Amazon?

[pixi]

Whenever I want to return  a item regardless of the reason if I chat with them they always provide me with a shipping label when I ask for it.

What if it's sold by Amazon?

If it's sold by other sellers too it can cause them issues

Recently, I've been credited by Amazon for a return as soon as I shipped it; they didn't wait to receive it. But only sometimes. What determines this difference?

[Moshe123]

Been that way for a long time.

YMMV
I've relied on this for the past few years, but recently, with some orders, I've begun having the shipping charges deducted from my returns and I've been needing to chat a second time to get those charges refunded.

Yeah..  Same here.. But if you ask back the shipping charges they usually give it back to you unless you abuse the system.

Thanks for the replies.

can I ship an item without free return shipping together with the free return?

I've done that successfully many times. I just create the return first on Amazon (using "I'll pay and ship") and put the return bar code in with the package - obviously, only if the return warehouses are the same.

theres no option for me to pay shipping. and using even a ups dropoff will only get me a minimal refund.

Chat/call them and they'll either generate an "I'll pay and ship" label, or give you a pre-paid one.
