Did Amazon tell you you didn’t have to box it?

Amazon has some returns they want you to take to drop off “no box or label needed” and some where they ask you to box it and ups will label it.

Did you have the second type of return?

These are the instructions:

There are different instructions. Sometimes it says UPS will pack and ship it for you. Sometimes not.

If you act pleasant and ask, they’ll let you tape up your box for free.

Not in this case.

Yeah our UPS store is chill and does it for us

Why is it UPS Store's responsibility to provide your packing tape?

Because that is their agreement with Amazon

It's not though. Not when the instructions specifically tell you to pack it yourself. You have to read the instructions

That guy does not get paid enough to deal with your problems.

Sounds like he gets paid enough to create unnecessary ones though.

That sounds like socializing the problem…

He won’t be paying for it. Either Amazon or the UPS store will if they chuck it.

If he doesn’t have a receipt from UPS showing he dropped it off, he’s not getting a refund

Mike Honcho

This. Amazon won’t refund his money. I guess it was worth not buying $6 tape.

Way to stick it to the underpaid kid just following directions. You’re the Caesar Chavez of returning Amazon orders.

That “underpaid” kid is likely getting $20 hr for that incredibly easy job.

I hope you’re not insinuating that entitles someone else to treat him poorly.

You were willing to risk Amazon not giving you the refund

When you’re raging at service employees, common sense does not play a part.

Sometimes if you’re running late to AlphaCon you don’t have time to tape boxes.
