If you got a prepaid shipping label on the return. I wouldn’t see why not. But I do believe you have to wait for the ups driver to drop off the shipping label, unless Amazon supplied you with one. Answer from firez55 on reddit.com

How does the UPS pickup work for Amazon returns? - Quora
Answer (1 of 6): They show up the next business day as though it were a delivery, except it’s a pick up. Unfortunately they don’t tell you this very clearly in the return instructions and you can’t modify the pickup from UPS’s website. You don’t need to be home though.

Amazon ups pickup tracking number?

Yeah, someone came to my house and put the ticket on my doorknob. Didn’t even knock. I was home. Now I have to take it to ups, so probably leave it outside.

r/UPS on Reddit: Amazon Return "UPS Pickup" Option Questions
May 14, 2022 -

Afternoon Y'all,

I made the Amazon return request this past Thursday(May the 12th), and the return confirmation stated that UPS would be by on the next business day to pickup the return(Friday the 13th in this case).

A driver never came by, though. I WFH and had even left a note on my door basically saying that the item was boxed up and ready to go and to please knock. Nada(I'm getting the vibe that no one came by period).

Is this normal? I.E, Amazon overpromises next business day pickup? Or did I fall through the crack somewhere?

Believe me, I'd much rather just take this return to the store. I'm fully capable of doing so, but Amazon isn't giving me that return option. I either wait for a driver, or pay to ship it back on my own out of pocket.

r/UPS on Reddit: UPS Pick Up -- Can I drop off at UPS store instead?
August 27, 2023 -

Trying to return a small appliance to Amazon but the only return option provided was "UPS pick-up"; Amazon also specifically noted that "An adult must be present". However as I work full time I will not be able to stay home and wait for the UPS driver during the day.

My question is, If I accept the "UPS pick up" option but instead drop the item off at a UPS store, will that work? Will a UPS store accept an Amazon return that's scheduled for UPS pick up?

Or, can I actually leave the package on my porch for the UPS driver to pick up? I live in a very safe community so I don't worry about theft at all; I can even leave a note on package saying this is the return package please pick it up; just don't know if it would be against UPS/Amazon policy for pick up, considering Amazon specifically says "An adult must be present".
