November 26, 2020Amazon charging Prime members 6.99 to return items to UPS Dropoff points
This has been going on for awhile near me as well. I live in a smaller area and the closest UPS store is 45 minutes away. If it tries to charge me for a return I back up and select defective and it will then give you the drop off return label for free. Sucks but I'm not driving 45 minutes to return at a UPS store when Amazon advertises free returns. More on reddit.com

April 3, 2023UPS store drop-off / Amazon return
In this case it will very difficult to get the item returned as if you request Amazon for UPS pick-up they will charge you for it depending on the value of item. I can only suggest that try to get a pick up at your place and explain the customer support for the return fee waiver and get it refunded too. As it their problem not yours that they have limited options available for returns. More on reddit.com

Amazon’s Return Policy Changed: What To Know - Newsweek
November 17, 2025 - Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "Amazon's policy is straightforward: most items purchased from November 1 through December 31 qualify for free returns and exchanges through January 31, 2026. For shoppers, it provides additional security that gifting decisions can be changed without having the sense of urgency of having to start a return immediately following the holiday. For Amazon and other retailers that offer this extension, the refund policy not only builds brand loyalty, but also helps them spread returns over a longer period of time and not be swamped with items and customers in the days following a holiday."

r/amazonprime on Reddit: Amazon Returns - Sometimes No Free option For UPS Store Drop-off
January 3, 2022 -
Prime member here. Most times my free Amazon returns have the options of both the UPS Store drop-off and my local locker (both free) but occasionally those options do not appear. 4 of the 5 items I am returning gave the option for UPS Store drop-off but the 5th did not. Options for the 5th item are Amazon Store (2 hours away round trip, not an option), UPS drop-off (a big mailbox in a parking lot, $5.99) or UPS pickup ($11.99). Could someone please explain why this occurs? Yes, the local locker might be full but I cannot think of a single reason why UPS store would not be an option.
I worked it out with a 10 minute callback from customer service who agreed to send me a prepaid label but this is the second or third time I had to spend time on the phone to make what should be a free return. Anyone know why this is occurring?

I know this is old, but I just wanted to add that I am returning an item and when choosing "No Longer Needed" there was a $5.99 fee to drop it off with UPS. When choosing "Wrong Item Sent", it was $0.00 for UPS Drop off.

r/AskNYC on Reddit: Anyone else having issues with free Amazon returns saying to go to Newark?
November 26, 2020 -
I'll start by saying I've lived in Brooklyn, suburbs NJ, and now Manhattan within the last year. I've never had an issue with return location options. UPS Store, USPS, Fedex, Amazon Bookstore, Whole Foods - all have been great options for me. Until now living in Manhattan. To top it off, before working from home I worked in Manhattan and would return stuff all the time here. No matter what I do currently Amazon insists the only places I can drop off for free are some Kohls in Newark and sometimes 1 random fucking Amazon locker in Newark. I have no idea why! Amazon customer service has been able to offer me other options for free when I talk to them but I don't understand why it's gotten so hard to return things. It feels like an error because it's so absurd that it's telling me to go to different state and city and doesn't even show options for Brooklyn or Queens.
Is this happening to anyone else? I know this is a totally random rant I just really want to know If i'm not the only one.

It just happened to me, I selected the option to drop off at the UPS store for a $7.35 charge for shipping. It's the first time it happens to me, and I thought that maybe it was because it was a lithium battery thing with a HUGE label on the package about restrictions in transport; so I assumed that was the reason.
