Different items from Amazon, get different return processes.

You have to go to your account, select the item & click the "return" button. Follow the instructions exactly. If it gives you the option to see more choices and you don't like the ones you see, click the 'more options" box.

Some items can be returned with a QR Code to Staples or Kohls, with no packaging ... some can't.

Some items have to be returned via UPS ... some will require packaging or a fee for pickup.

In some situations, you can only return to a UPS Store (if you want to do it free), other can be dropped off at any store that accepts UPS parcels.

It will depend on the item, the size and the reason you select for your "return".

If the item was not shipped by Amazon, another whole process applies.

It's not complicated, but you have to pay attention to the process and make sure you're getting the "best deal" and that you select the best reason for wanting to return the item.

If you choose UPS store, I find it a pain to have to print a label (I don't have and don't want a printer) and wait in what is usually a long line.
Kohls is often a long line but they give you 10 to 15% off some items from their store.
My fave has been Staples. Quick process and they also give out coupons for their store.

I know it's probably a dumb question. Especially since I loath returning things, and have never done an Amazon return. However my wife does it often. Here, we just drive a mile or two to Whole Foods, and wait in line, scan - scan - attach sticker, it's done. Looks like no Whole Foods in TV, and a long drive to Altamonte Springs.

Be careful because sometimes you need a box or package even for UPS. And Kohls doesn’t take everything

I go to Amazon account and enter my return. I don't like the Kohl's option. I think UPS is a faster in and out. I choose that when I make my selection. A QR code will display on the Amazon screen. I take a picture of the QR code with my phone (since I no longer use a printer) and show the picture to UPS. They aim the wand right at my picture and take my item. By the time I get home, I'll see transaction information on the charge card I used. I usually get my refund a day later. I shop Amazon 2-3 times a week and have a return monthly or every other month.
