How to Return Amazon Items the Right Way: Fast, Easy and Usually Free, cNet

2020-11-06 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

I am posting the following article because I know that many of us make
purchases from Amazon via our Apple Devices.  

Just two days ago, I returned an item because of some cosmetic damage that
must have occurred during shipping.  

To my delight, I received a replacement product, today.  

Got to hand it to Amazon; when it comes to convenience, they are second to
none.

I hope you find the article as useful as I.

How to return Amazon items the right way: Fast, easy and usually free
Send back Amazon purchases just as easily and conveniently as you ordered
them -- from the comfort of your own home.
By Angela Lang, cNet.
Posted on Nov. 2, 2020.

Don't spend a single penny returning your unwanted Amazon package if you
don't have to -- not even on gas.

Amazon has earned its reputation by making online shopping fast and easy,
and package delivery free, but the same can't always be said about its
return process. Although Amazon's plethora of return options does mean more
choices when shipping back purchases, Amazon often presents only the default
return method, making you dig for cheaper or more convenient ways to send
your stuff back.

Amazon's preferred return service very well could be the most convenient for
you, if, for example, you live near a Kohl's. All Kohl's store accept Amazon
returns, and have been known to hand out Kohl's coupons while you're there.
But if a trip to Kohl's isn't on your itinerary any time soon, accidentally
clicking that option -- or a different one -- can add an unnecessary errand
to your list.

If you'd rather return items to Amazon the same way you ordered them --
without ever having to trek beyond your own front door -- here's the quick,
easy and (oftentimes) free way to send stuff back.

If you're already a Kohl's shopper, it might be convenient to return Amazon
purchases there.

Give a reason, not an excuse
The first thing Amazon will ask after you start the return process is the
reason for your return. It's important to be as honest and precise here as
possible. Amazon, as well as Amazon's third-party sellers, will want to
resell merchandise in good working order (like Amazon does through Amazon
Warehouse Deals) so your items will be checked against your return reason. 

Not only can misclassifying a return result in negative repercussions to
your Amazon account (the company has been known to ban shoppers who misuse
the return process), you also might end up paying for return shipping when
you didn't need to.

For example, if you select "no longer needed" by default, you may be charged
for the return. If your reason for return is actually more specific, you may
not.

Here are all the various return reasons Amazon gives you to choose from as
well as a description of exactly what they mean:
.   No longer needed: You changed your mind and don't want the item any
more.
.   Bought by mistake: You accidentally hit Buy it Now or forgot to
delete an item from your cart before checking out.
.   Better price available: You find the same thing at, say, Walmart for
less than what you paid for it at Amazon.
.   Inaccurate website description: Example: The photo shows a deep
royal blue, but the item is a light sky blue. Similar to but different from
"Wrong item was sent" (see below).
.   Item defective or doesn't work: Could be that it's broken or simply
doesn't do what it's designed to do (for example, a can opener that spins up
but doesn't cut the lid off).
.   Product damaged, but shipping box OK: The box isn't dented, cut or
scratched, but the item inside has cosmetic or mechanical damage.
.   Item arrived too late: The item was delivered past the guaranteed
delivery and missed, for example, a birthday.
.   Missing or broken parts: Similar to "Item was defective or doesn't
work" but applies not to the item itself but the attachments, etc. that come
with it.
.   Product and shipping box both damaged: Somewhere between being boxed
up and arriving at your door, the package was mishandled, and the product
arrives broken.
.   Wrong item was sent: If you received a completely different item,
not just that the size, shape or color wasn't what you selected (see
"Inaccurate website description").
.   Received extra item I didn't buy: Something extra got packaged with
your order, and you feel obliged to return it.
.   Didn't approve purchase: Someone, either in your family (a child, a
spouse) or a friend (say, one on whose computer you logged into Amazon and
forgot to log out) ordered something and you got charged.


Tell Amazon where to send your refund
Next you'll have to choose how you want your money back. The quickest way is
to receive a credit to your Amazon account, which Amazon will issue as soon
as UPS scans your return into its system. But then you're stuck spending the
money at Amazon.

You can also have the funds put back on your debit or credit card. But even
though Amazon will issue the refund as soon as UPS

Apologies if this has been brought up hundreds of times, most notably by me, 
but how do you back translate .BRF books into  text without having to go in  
windows to do it? I thought lib Louis did it, but I don’t remember how to do 
it. If it doesn’t do it, what other apps can/will? Thanks!
